We went for the strawberry picking, the strawberries were well kept and the aisles were nice to walk down. But I have a few issues first the signage here overall is very bad so you can get lost on where to go so It would be nice if they added more signs on where to go. But our main issue is when we were picking strawberries first we weren't informed when we came in that you cant eat the strawberries (I would like it known the reason WHY we thought we could is a) everyone around us was doing it so we both thought oh it must be okay and b) we have been to multiple other Berry farms around the country and they have never had an issue with it they normally encourage you to eat the berries so with all of that and the fact that we weren't told by anyone that we couldn't, we assumed that we could it also would have been nice to have been treated like a person when informed of this instead of being treated like dirt its just extremely draining and instances like this just make it so it isn't worth going) in the field so we did as everyone around us was eating the strawberries anyway as we were about to leave one of the workers came marching up to my father and said no eating in the fields so my father said okay?but what about the other people that have been eating them then? She just stared at him before turning to me to tell me no eating in the fields and when I continued to look at the plants while saying okay we won't sorry then she continued to stand there giving us a dirty look as if waiting for us to move and then when we were walking to leave she kept turning to watch us and giving us scathing looks (mind you she didn't do this to ANYONE else that were also eating the strawberries) this is a perfectly understandable rule and we will happily oblige if we are informed of it (signs could help with this just one in the middle so people can be like oh okay) when we were leaving as well we heard them greeting people and also did not inform anyone about the rule so I'm not sure how you are supposed to know? we were going to go to the restaurants after and maybe do a few more activities but after being treated like that I just told my father we should leave instead as they don't seem to possess any manners whatsoever and think it's okay to treat people horribly. Definitely won't see us or anybody we know again, all we wanted was a little afternoon outing and instead just got an absolutely...
