just click on the preceding link, as appropriate! And if you have a farm and want to
add it or correct the

vegetables, such as how to make jam,

A visitor writes on June 28, 2009:
"This farm is the ultimate TOURIST TRAP. We drove an hour to get there. I
called ahead to ask about picking strawberries. The girl said yes, we have
lots of strawberries. To our surprise when we got there, there were plenty
of strawberries from California, the same ones I buy at Krogers only more
expensive! When asked about picking strawberries and I said I had called
earlier, the girl just looked at me kind of dumb. Instead she said I could
pick blueberries. The pathetic little patch was covered in weeds. After
searching every plant I came up with about two inches of blueberries in my
pail. The plants and field were in such poor shape. When we went back inside
to pay I saw what a cash cow this place was. There were boxes and boxes of
beautiful blueberries, blackberries, strawberries all from California
although displayed as if they had just been picked off the farm, and all
more expensive than the grocery store. We bough ice cream cones with fresh
fruit on top(from California). We asked for a cup of water, no water but we
could buy some expensive bottled water. This farm(?) was such a let down. It
presents as an authentic farm yet it is no different than my grocery store
in Cincinnati only more expensive. Thanks for your web site....we'll
continue to visit the other farms."
