My son & I went there last saturday, we got there before 10a.m. & still could not find a place to park. We had to walk a mile just to get there. I bought some cookies from a young amish girl, cookies from the cookie lady & a loaf of cinnamon bread which the syrup from the sticky cinnamon on the bottom of the bread was hard around the edges. When we got home, we tasted these products & they were stale & dry. The cookie lady said the cookies were moist, but they weren't. They were dry, the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies from the amish girl were also dry, & the cinnamon bread which was the most expensive was extremely hard & dry. I had to throw everything out. What a waste of a single parents hard working money! I may sometime go there just to walk around & taste their free samples, but I'll never buy anything there again! Another lady who had baked goods at the Bettendorf one also had dried out cookies. Don't these people taste their baked goods before they sell them? Yuck!!!!

I completely understand your disappointment, but maybe you should be buying fruits and vegetables at the farmers market, instead of cookies and cakes. I'm just saying, you are probably used to the "store versions" of cookies, which are most likely baked using a lot more sugar, oil, etc. If you try the fruits and vegetables, you might like them better than the fruits and vegetables you buy at the store. Your hard-earned money would be much better spend on something with nutritional value anyway...

I don't understand why you would as you said, "go there and taste the samples" but "you'd never buy anything". If you aren't going to buy then leave the samples for people who are interested in buying. If it was that bad then don't bother with the samples or stick with the healthy fruits and veggies.
