Grier Peach Orchard

We have purchased Big Red Peaches from Griers for 3 years now. We had been totally pleased with the peaches and the friendliness of the people, until yesterday, Aug 16, 2012. We had stopped by last week and was told they were sold out but would have more this thursday. So I called Wednesday afternoon and immediately noticed a difference. The gentleman who answered was very rude, but got the message across that they would indeed be in the orchard by 8:00 am. So we arrived about 10:30 am and they were coming out of the orchard with fresh pickings when we arrived. The gentleman who greeted us was obviously the same one I spoke with the day before. We planned on buying 2 bushel,. but because of the rudeness, ended up leaving with 1/2 bushel. They displayed peaches already packed. 5 - 1/2 bushel baskets and about 10 - peck baskets. We were immediately told that 3 of the 1/2 bushel baskets were already sold, leaving 2, or 1 bushel. The 1/2 bushel baskets were $20.00 each and the pecks were $11.00 ea. We asked him to combine enough of the peaches from the peck baskets into 1/2 bushel baskets to make another bushel, providing us with the 2 bushels we wanted. He said he would not. We would have to buy 4 peck baskets at $11.00 ea and if that was not good enough we could just leave because someone else would buy them if we didn't. My wife wanted to tell him he could keep his peaches, but I convinced her to go ahead and buy 1/2 bushel since we had promised peaches to some friends. We tried to get him to change his mind, but he rudely refused, telling us the owner was in Florida and would fire him if he did as we requested. I travel all over north ga installing and repairing satellite dish and will be sure to tell everyone I meet how rudely we were treated. They have good peaches but I will never buy them there again. And I will ask everyone I know and meet to do the same!
