  Comments from a visitor on July 07, 2010: "The best I've been to. The hour drive is quite long but well worth it. There are several farms closer, but none match the quality. They water the plants two hours every day, and the health of the plants shows it. The blueberries are the largest I've seen, many the size of small grapes. The bushes are absolutely loaded. They cut them back every year so that the plants don't get too tall to pick them easily. And in the mornings, there is some shade, which is really nice when the weather is hot. And at $7 a gallon, very good priced."

A visitor writes on September 19, 2016: "I took my kids there last week. Thanks so much for providing the information on this website! We had a nice time; however, you might note on your website that although the picnic tables are still there, we weren't able to use them. The owner has disallowed carrying any sort of bag or basket of any sort except for the baskets he gives you for picking. This made it impossible for us to have our picnic at the picnic tables, because we couldn't carry the food there. That was a disappointment for us. There is a patio and chairs out front which they let us use, but it's kind of in the parking lot and in the full sun, so obviously it's not the same as a picnic in a vineyard, which we thought we were going to have. The grapes were really great, though." Note from Blake: That may be an issue of regulations: often eating is not allowed for customers, by law, in crop production areas. The tables may have been there before the rules were in place. Did the owner explain?
