点评:We went mid June at the start of the season and there wasn’t much ripe fruit at all. Only a couple rows were open, but most of the peaches were still rock hard. I imagined it would be more like other you-pick orchards and we'd all be eating our fill of juicy, ripe fruit as we picked more to take home, where I’d immediately make 2 peach pies and some peach ice cream for my son’s birthday the next day. Sadly, we couldn’t find much that was ready to eat. I had to skip the ice cream, and even had to buy a couple grocery store peaches that night to finish filling the 2 pies!
Some things that were disappointing:
- It was pricy to get in, and instead of leaving with tree-ripened peaches we left with a lot of hard ones to ripen on the counter. 😞
- If I knew this ahead of time we would have come in July instead, or at least bought the smaller box for today. And I certainly wouldn’t have counted on the visit to make birthday desserts that same evening.
- I wish I knew to wear bug spray. We got eaten up. The website should give a heads up on that.
- Most of the peaches are way out of reach unless you pay more for a long picker stick. Two nice people gave us theirs as they left and we definitely needed them.
Would I tell a friend not to go? Well, no. I’d definitely say to wait til later in the season, ask how many lanes are open, and wear bug spray. I don't know how long is long enough to wait in the season, and I doubt you’ll get a good answer asking the business directly since they think mid-June is a good time to open. I do think they should lower the entry fee when the bulk of what you’ll find is still rock hard. I found it insulting to have to buy grocery store peaches the very same day I drove an hour to an orchard and spent $85 there just to finish filling pie.
翻译:我们在季节开始时六月中旬去的,根本没有太多成熟的水果。只有几行是开放的,但大多数桃子仍然坚硬如磐石。我想象它会更像其他你采摘的果园,我们都会吃饱多汁、成熟的水果,因为我们采了更多带回家,我会立即为我做两个桃子馅饼和一些桃子冰淇淋。第二天儿子生日。可悲的是,我们找不到太多可以吃的东西。我不得不跳过冰淇淋,甚至那天晚上还得买几个杂货店的桃子来填满两个馅饼!
一些令人失望的事情:
- 进去的价格很高,我们没有带着树上成熟的桃子离开,而是留下了很多硬的桃子放在柜台上成熟。 😞
- 如果我提前知道这一点,我们就会在七月来,或者至少今天买了较小的盒子。我当然不会指望当天晚上会去制作生日甜点。
- 我希望我知道要使用杀虫剂。我们被吃掉了。该网站应该对此做出提示。
- 大多数桃子都是遥不可及的,除非你花更多钱买一根长采摘棒。两个好人在离开时给了我们他们的,我们绝对需要他们。
我会告诉朋友不要去吗?嗯,不。我肯定会说等到赛季晚些时候,询问有多少条球道开放,并使用杀虫剂。我不知道在旺季需要等待多长时间,而且我怀疑直接询问商家是否会得到好的答案,因为他们认为六月中旬是开业的好时机。我确实认为,当你发现的大部分东西仍然坚如磐石时,他们应该降低入场费。就在我开车一个小时到果园并在那里花了 85 美元只是为了吃完馅饼的同一天,我觉得不得不去杂货店买桃子是一种侮辱。
