Burns Farm At Aldersyde — Attraction in Troutdale

Our family of four went to the pumpkin patch here to get a pumpkin and have a good time.

Usually get Garry’s meadow milk from them at the farmers market and decided to buy something else as well. I asked for bones I could get marrow out of and was disappointed when I realized there was no marrow in the cut they gave me. I messaged them asking to see if I was able to get a refund or different bag and all they said was “nope”. They’re a small business so I understood that there probably wasn’t much that could be done but their response was unprofessional and rude...
