Davis Peach Farm

WOW , the reviews on here are pretty bad but my experience was fantastic yesterday. Myself , my husband, daughter and grandson went. Sure you get a bag but those boxes arent cheap! They had them for sale for 4 bucks a pop but we went with the free bags. The young adult... who told us where to go picking, explained things well wand I found him very friendly. We did not have to walk to far to get to our rows. Once we arrived there were some fellows who told us where the good peaches were. I did not find them rude. Sure there were peaches on the floor but what do you expect!!??? When we finished picking we made our way to the registers. The woman who weighed our peaches was super friendly and talkative. I hardly ever write reviews but I was pretty shocked at the reviews I read and i think they are unfair. This is a farm people. not Trump Towers. Go, pick and enjoy! If you want Trump Towers this is not it. It's a farm with yummy fruits! Read More

The peach tree I had at my dad's front yard tasted better then these. BASIC DETAILS1. Unruly

I am a fan of being fair so I will give all sides of the story. My parents, their friends, my grandmother and I went this weekend. Their friend went in the peach area where the staff was not letting people in and picked a peach. She got caught and this agitated the staf...f- that was our bad. \t\n\t\nBut they sent 3 staff to follow us and tell us to leave despite the fact that we hadn't maxed out the $20 deposit (the farm makes you pay $20 upfront so if you don't pick $20 worth of apples, it's your lost).\t\n\t\nFeeling extremely uncomfortable, we went to go pay. On the way my 87-year-old grandmother who is hearing impaired, has cancer and NO teeth or dentures left with her nurse to use the restroom. \t\n\t\nThe staff wouldn't have it. Where was my grandmother and her nurse, they asked? Why were they spending so long in the bathroom? (My grams has cancer and moves slowly. Sorry...?) They had a big bag when they went in, the staff said. They MUST be eating stolen peaches in the bathroom.\t\n\t\nFirst off, that's a disgusting claim and secondly, did I mention that my grandmother has NO TEETH? Angered at this, my parent's friend started speaking in Chinese. The staff told us all to GO BACK WHERE WE CAME FROM AND TO LEARN ENGLISH. \t\n\t\nWOW.\t\n\t\nIt's one thing to reprimand people for not following rules ( though picking a peach at a PEACH farm doesn't seem that crazy) but it's completely different to make accusations at the elderly and to rip on peoples' race and integrity. In my parents' 30 years of living on Long Island as hard-working, neighborly citizens, none of us had ever felt so utterly disrespected and degraded. \t\n\t\nNeedless to say, we won't be going back there. But apparently other customers who witnessed the incident won't be either. People came up to us afterwards to lament about how disgusted they were and how poor the service was in general. Good luck to you, Davis Peach Farm. Read More

Very bad experience today with rude employees. I will not be returning to Davis Peach Farm. 1000 characters is not enough to explain how awful this farm is and how bad my experience was with them today. Do yourself a favor and go to Lewin's or Windy Acres. The employ...ees are this farm are very rude. I left the farm today with no peaches but filled with embarrassment and tears. If you are interested in details you can email me or check out other reviews I have posted, but I think the amount of unhappy customers speaks for itself. Read More

I went to Davis Peach Farm today because it was on my way home from Wildwood and for the first time actually open. I grew up down the road from Davis' original location and have wanted to go peach picking since I was a little girl. I was also upset when they were boug...ht off and moved out to Wading River. Last summer during my trips to Wildwood I finally learned where the new (or not so new now) location is and today I decided to check it out. I had an AWFUL experience that coincides with the rest of the reviews here. I am actually finding these reviews very helpful and wish I had been on here prior to stopping by today because I would have gone to Lewin's instead.\t\n\t\nI pulled in today and unlike the reviews here the only signs I saw said "open" and "you pick" (actually it was spelled incorrectly "u pick"). Now in my previous experiences with "you pick" farms I walked on to the farm, picked vegetables, and then went to a cashier. Apparently, this is not the case at Davis. Funny that I am learning this through reviews on here as I saw no signs at Davis. I walked in-between where the farm stand is and the empty table with roasted corn and just about into the orchard (as I would have at any other farm) and a woman who I can only imagine must have been Christine Davis screamed at the top of her lungs and very nasty that I was not allowed in that area. She also referred to me as ma'am which I find extremely rude and presumptuous. I am not a fan of being labeled. My response to her was confusion because I honestly had no idea it was closed and asked if I had missed a sign somewhere. She responded with a nasty mimic. \t\n\t\nThen a man came over older, but I am pretty sure it was not Mr. Davis. This was the man who was "working" the roasted corn area and whom I had walked right past prior to being screamed at. He showed me the area that was open. At this point I was so upset from being yelled at in general, embarrassed by it being so public, feeling miserable, and upset about being called ma'am I told the man I was just coming to take photos. At first he said well you can do that down this way and then changed his mind and said I can take a photo of the peach tree that was right next to him. A peach tree that had caution tape wrapped around it. I also mentioned to him how I thought she was very rude calling me ma'am and his response was "would you have preferred man?" This just further got me upset.\t\n\t\nNow I did not know that cameras are not allowed. Again I did not see any signs. I am assuming they were there but not quite so obvious considering my previous experience with similar "you pick" farms. I would have gladly paid $10 to go into the orchard, even if just to look around. But I was not given that option and asked to leave. I do understand the fee being that people most likely do treat the orchard improperly and cause damage. They also do need to make a profit. I don't think having a minimum fee is a bad thing. Though it may be a tad high.\t\n\t\nI left feeling absolutely miserable, defeated, hurt, and crying. I will never go back to Davis Peach Farm again. I will go to Lewin's though since they have so many great mentions on here. I have also had great experiences with Windy Acre's Farm down 25A a bit.\t\n\t\nAnother notch for Davis is that I happen to be a local food buyer and Davis made mention of Lewin's selling to what I assume is distributors. I might just have to find out which distributors and adjust my companies purchases accordingly. Davis makes is sound like being acquainted with distribution to more customers and profits is bad and it's not. More and more customers are asking about local crop purchases because they want us (me) to influence our distributors to buy locally and support our farms here. I am not sure how this could ever be considered a bad move and it doesn't make Davis one of a kind. It just makes them a snob. Read More
