PLEASE NOTE:
Due to misunderstandings, we
need to explain that:
-
We are a fruit picking farm. We do not allow eating of any of our fruits and vegetables in the
fields or orchards ( a taste of the fruits you want to buy is
OK).
-
We expect you to pay for all produce picked by you or your
children.
-
We will not tolerate people picking fruit and discarding it in
the fields or the kiosks. You will be expected to pay for it.
