My daughter and I visited their farm last summer. The strawberries were absolutely gorgeous, and we picked a couple of buckets full in no time at all. However, when we went to pay the person did not have enough change to give me back $.50 and instead of throwing a couple more berries in to make it even or having me to go grab a couple more, he charged me .50 more. I was very disappointed, I realize that it was only .50 but that just isn't good business. As beautiful (and sweet) as the berries were, I won't be going back. I had a long drive to get to that farm, and it really is a nice place, but he should have been better about the service."
