"After having a horrible day out with my mother and daughter last week
8/28/10 i finally found somewhere to make a complaint of this Farm Stand,
and as i read, i see iam not the only one, but that day i was not the ONLY
ONE either making complaints. Workers are RUDE, DO NOT speak ENGLISH, cant
bring strollers, or pocketbooks in. There was only 2 rows open that had no
fruit on the trees and we asked if we can go on the other side of the YELLOW
TAPE and i was told i could but got YELLED at like i did something EVIL. The
guy wouldnt even listen to me tell him that i was told by one of their
workers to go ahead over. I went to the cashier and wanted my $10 refunded
since ther was nothing to pick and i was being yelled at. As i waited for
the so called owner to get there, i heard about 5-7 other patrons
complaining! So i waited in my car with my 4 year old daughter till the
owner pulled up and got out of the truck in a RAGE cursing at my mom telling
her shes going to call the cops on us and even took a picture of my car
plates !! lol She didnt care one bit that we had a complaint and didnt
listen to anything we had to say. So as i read on here all the complaints,
how could she still be in business ? Flies all over, smell of fruit rotting
and NASTY over dirty PORT POTTIES, and bad parking. So basically iam told
never to GO BACK , and i had to laugh at her. She was an overweight , truck
driver mouth so called OWNER??? hows that? Anyways, i asked my 4 year old if
she wanted to go APPLE Picking instead, she said \" NO WAY ! \" haha , so as
people pulled in to go pick peaches i kindly gave them the low down of what
they were getting into. What a mess it is there."
A visitor writes on August 13, 2010: (negative) "I have to agree with the NEGATIVE comments here. I think the only "positive" comments MUST be from family members of the Davis' trying to get more business. The farm was un-organized, workers were RUDE, and prices were HIGH to say the least! We were not told where to go... but we were YELLED at when we "stepped over the pick line"! We were watched like dogs in heat, when we asked where we CAN pick we were given dirty looks. It wound up to be 3 aisles we were "allowed" to pick from but the trees only had rotten fruit left if any. We were told "OH WELL - pick at your own risk!" On the way out they had boxes of other vegetables that were rotten so bad they were smelling and had flies and maggots everywhere! I will NEVER go there again! DISGUISTING! "
A visitor writes on July 12, 2010: (negative)
"Don't go. My family and kids refuse to go peach picking anymore since visit
to Davis Peach Farm. Signs are scary. They check bags, etc.. You are watched
and its so creepy. I accidentally went into the wrong lane last visit and
was strongly scolded. We were so intimidated that we left in fear!"
A visitor writes on March 09, 2010: (negative) "When
I went here in Aug 2009, it was so bad, I wound up not even picking any
fruit. The parking was terrible. Then when I finally found a spot after 20
mins, they told me I couldn't go picking w/ a pocketbook! And the pocketbook
I had was so small, you couldn't fit more then 1 peach in there, if that's
what they were worried about. There was no exceptions and they they went on
to the next person. The staff was of no help, they didn't direct you
anywhere; they didn't even know where I should stand on line. There were all
foreigners there, and it was so loud, with pushing, and so organized. I will
never go there again!"
A visitor writes on February 28, 2010: (positive)
"I have just read the comments about this farm and i cannot believe that
more people like me haven't written to defend them. I have been going to
Davis for close to 40 years. They are the best and you cannot beat the
quality and variety of fruits and vegetables that they grow. I have been
there when people have conflicts and i can say with all honesty that it is
always the fault of the customers, not the owners. The Davis have been
farming for a coulple hjundred years on long island, they haave great
quality and very fair prices. I have only seen problems when people are
caught stealing or dumping fruit so they dont have to pay for it. If you ate
food at a supermarket and didn't pay for it chances are you go to jail, so
why would people think its okay to not pay for food at a farm. Trust me, go
to this farm. It is worth the trip. You will not beat the quality."
A visitor writes on January 30, 2010: (negative)
"(They) really spoiled a good time for me and my 3.5 year old daughter. the
other negative comments are correct. confusion, rude staff people and rip
off, terrible parking! They just confuse you, over charge you and just about
kick you out if you try to discuss the matter with them! I was shocked to
read the other negative comments as I see they are fully aware of what they
do and it was not a "misunderstanding of any sort" this is just a day to day
practice for them. I even got the owner of the place involved thinking
surely she would put an end to the unfairness they put us through: no. I
asked her are you willing to never have us come back here, speak negatively
of your farm because of a few fruits, matter of couple of dollars and she
without hesitation, loud and clear said YES. We will not go back and I would
recommend you dont go there either as I am sure this is not what you intend
for a nice family day. There are plenty of other farms around there and I
regret not having gone to one of those. These people not only dont care
about customer service, you will walk away with bad fruits: from the people
who work there and from the trees. I write this because I dont want anyone
to go through what we went through."
A visitor writes on September 27, 2009: (positive)
"I have visited this farm many times over the years and cannot believe the
bad reviews i have read. Davis Peach Farm is famous for their quality and
service. I wouldn't go anywhere else. It is a great place to take your
children and create a lifetime of precious memories and family traditions.
The Davis' couldn't be nicer and their employees are so sweet. If you don't
believe me just try to get in there on a Sunday....the cars are lined up to
try and get the best long island grown produce available from good old
fashioned farmers!"
A visitor writes on August 26, 2009: (negative)
"I went to Davis Farms for peaches back in July, at that time there was
plenty of peaches. The person with the comment about them refunding people
their money if they didn't pick over $10 worth of peaches I would like to
know where my $3 went. I somewhat agree with the person who said the workers
are not so polite, although the cashier person was very pleasant."

"Had a rather unpleasant experience here. Went into orchard to pick peaches
and was not given clear instructions where to pick. Young lady at counter
forgot to specify right or left side of designated rows. No personel were
available in the orchard to direct you to the correct rows Picked a few of
the wrong type of peaches!!! Charged a penalty of over 3 times the market
price!!! Called the police because the farm would not reach a reasonable
accomodation, confiscated the fruit that we picked, and would not return my
deposit. The police were powerless to assist however they did indicate that
this happens here all the time, including physical altercations, and
wondered why people bother coming here when there are other very good farms
nearby! I agree, there are other orchards with great fruit and accomodating
staff. Pass this place by. "
A visitor writes on August 08,
2009: (positive) "I just read some feedback that visitors to
Davis Peach Farm wrote. Well I cannot disagree with them more. I was just
there with my family on Saturday August 8, 2009. We had a wonderful time and
the trees we were told to pick from were abundant with fruit. We had 19 rows
of trees to choose from, there were hundreds of trees to pick from. The
people who worked there were very clear about the policies. We weren't there
very long before we filled four bags with beautiful perfect peaches. We gave
a $10.00 deposit and if you didn't pick $10.00 worth of fruit they refund
the difference and if you pick more you pay the difference at one dollar a
pound. You do have to pay for whatever you pick. If you don't like the
policy then don't pick so much fruit. Why would anyone pick fruit they didn't
intend on buying? I don't understand how they can complain about that
policy. In closing I would go back there again and I highly recommend this
orchard to everyone. It's a great way to spend a day with the family on the
beautiful east end on Long Island."
A visitor writes on August 04, 2009:
(negative) "We visited this farm we paid to get in and there were nothing on the rows of
trees open for picking. I am extreemly disappointed and so are my friends
and families who went with me. the staff are very impolite and money
grabbers-NO REFUNDS! and you had to pay for what you brought out. thank God
in our case was nothing cause there were nothing to pick. customers please
beware of this farm. "
A visitor writes on August 02, 2009: (negative)
"We went to this farm with the family. They are sooooo bad. They charge
upfront monies and then dont let people go to good trees. They had only 3-4
aisles open which had nothing on the trees. Then they say that there is no
refund and have to buy what ever we bring to the counter. In short they r
just rip off's and every 1 over there was complaining about it. i want u to
put these comments about them on ur website so that other people will know."

(UPDATED: October 09, 2009, from their website)
A visitor writes on
October 09, 2009: "My 13-yr. old son & I went on 10/4; it was a
beautiful summery day and my birthday. Although it was nice, we were
disappointed enough to try another farm next time; I would not return there.
The personnel were HORRIBLE...mostly unavailable, completely unhelpful and
downright rude. Nothing is labeled anywhere; there is no way to know where
the different trees are for different kinds of apples; we were on our own
walking all over the orchards...guessing. Everyone appeared to be looking
for Granny Smith's and everyone was told different "directions." If they
can't label the trees or paths, or provide a map, they should have employees
out there to guide you. There are several entrances and parking areas and no
way to know which one leads to which apples or which is the ONLY ONE w/the
Port-a-Potty. They charge you for the plastic bags which are so cheap, they
fall apart if you put too many apples in them. Then you're stuck out in the
fields with nothing to put them in. Seeing a lot of empty trees, I asked if
we had to pick from the ground or were there other trees elsewhere that were
full. I was told they didn't know, you had to just go all over. Was even
told "it's the end of the season." As if it was at own own risk and we might
not even find any at all. We did not find the Granny Smiths (that was the
reason we picked this particular farm in the first place after calling
several places) but when we paid our $1/lb. for whatever it was we picked
(no way to know or even learn!) the guy on line behind us had a bushel full
of the Granny's. He gave us directions to find them. We went there rushing
like crazy b/c it was now 4pm. Yes, we found them but basically had to pay
twice, for twice as many apples as we wanted, b/c we'd already paid for the
first batch....because we had no help finding what we wanted! Several people
we met said they were also treated rudely and many I spoke to said they felt
they were on their own w/no guidance."
Note from Blake:
NEVER pick apples from the ground - that's how to get E. Coli food
poisoning. It's also illegal for the farm to sell those in many
states.

Home Canning Kits
This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother
used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and
spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and
lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs,
lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel,
labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's
much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars & lids! To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!For more information
