Great family experience. Good covid rules in place.
I snuck in and bought a big basket of their fabulously sweet fall strawberries. ☺️
I dont know why I waited so long to review this wonderful farm. The staff are best bar none and the service is exceptional. I always get my cucumber pickles and cabbage here to make pickles and Kraut. This year making carmelized onions as well. Best place to pick up quality local produce.
This is our second time visiting TJF. On the day we went they ran out of strawberries, it happens. Somehow the staff seemed non interested in their customers. We waited 10 minutes for someone to come into the show room to purchase something. They were out more interested in a huge load of blackberries. Could just be the time of day we went, about 5pm? but just kinda felt pushed through otherwise.
I have had gone to the horticulture several times in the preceding years, with mixed feelings. It's a nice relaxing place with a beautiful natural environment. Yesterday (16 Aug 2020), I was there with another couple. One of the staff welcomed us and gave baskets to collect strawberries etc. Up to there, everything was okay - the pros side.
Now, the cons:
=> Nobody informed us about the entry fee.
=> Veg & fruits are charged exorbitantly. We collected a modest amount of strawberries, plus some veg. The couple we invited to go with us also collected a minimal foodstuff. The cost at a grocery store for the total purchase wouldn't be more than thirty-five to forty dollars. They charged my friend $75 and me? $71!
