Gile's Family Farm — Attraction in Alfred

Great apples, large colorful, and very tasty. This was my sons' first experience apple picking and sorry to say it wasnt the favorite memory we hoped it would be.

The workers were rude and abrupt... my family of my son, a 2 year old, and 7 week old and 2 adults came with me on an 85* degree day, sweat pouring down my son's, the infant developed bad heat rash and was so hot and upset we couldn't stay in the heat. We barely filled a single bag and had my husband get out van to drive us further and my family could pick more while I had infant in the a.c. as soon as I got in the front passenger seat, shirt down all the way as I was breast feeding(therefore clearly going no where) an old man cut off the road with a farm vehicle yelling a rhetorical question, if planned to go pay for apples. As attempted to explain we thought you could drive further in and the road looped back, as most all orchards we have experienced do. we backed up and tried explain our situation, he defended his rudeness to the end, even though he apologised. I decided that a place that clearly couldn't see their faults and at least apologise and cut back the rudeness doesn't deserve our business. I am sure there are people who are scummy and they try to leave without paying. But clearly, with a breast out and infant feeding in the front seat, we weren't about to just take off. I even approached the stand, still breast feeding mind you, to inform them how disappointed and how this misunderstanding escalated to our family not returning. They defended their rudeness to the end, and didn't act as though they cared about their customers to keep them. Bottom line, abrupt, rude & without fault =loss of customers, regardless of how good the apples...

Making a second review since they deleted my original

The old women at the pyo apples was extremely rude to my sister and 3 year old autistic nephew when asked for her name for a proper complaint she called the I assume owner who proceeded to laugh and joke about writing her up we stopped T the store to try and talk to him and he was again rude and said he didn’t care my nephew was autistic The women ignored us as customers and wouldn’t answer questions we were trying to ask

They yelled at gave attitude and belittled my nephew and my sister

This place has gone...

Cute little store with a lot of products from local farms and vendors. Unfortunately a lot of the stuff there was just repackaged commercial goods like candy and toys. Looks like a store that doesn't quite know what it wants to be and tries too hard to get there. Cashier was very indifferent, not friendly but not mean either. Definitely stop here if you're in the area but I don't recommend making the trip...
