“the best fresh cherries, blueberries, apricots, and peaches!! they grow beautiful flowers, too. and the people who grow everything are so sweet! easy in and out, right off M22 north of Empire. I stop every time I can!!!”
“These folks are very nice and welcoming. I told the lady I needed peaches for my wife and it would be at least 3 days before I'd be home. She told me to come back in an hour. She had someone pick me a 1/2 bushe”
“I drive 6 hours to to stop here. The Peaches are so good they stole the show from the dunes. What variety are they?”
“Nice selection of locally grown fruits and vegetables, got string beans and cucumbers and plums and zucchini”
“You should get prepared to climb before you start walking up the dune!! Enjoy each moment!! It's wonderful.”
“Best delicious ripe cherries I've ever had. Easy and easy out,reasonably priced.”
“This is a hike and a half. The other half coming from the sand we trekked in. Be aware it would have been 5 stars if there was an Uber waiting to get you to the destination. Loved the perspective and freedom to walk wherever you wanted. Views were excellent, people were friendly. Tons of panorama opportunities.”
“Blueberries are not washed, therefore u can't munch it while driving. Bit costly but good for consuming while driving”
