Reviews for: Prairie View Farms Produce

I mainly buy sweet corn because it is usually so good. They usually have between 14 and 16 ears in a bag of 1 dozen. I usually get 1 underdeveloped or over ripe ear out of the 14 to 16 ears and the rest are sweet and tender. I grow green peppers in my garden at home and if I leave a pepper out overnight it will get soft. Just say'n.

At Market Square on August 29, 2015 at 11:45 AM Two sales girls were too involved in conversation with a boy to wait on me. After being ignored, one of the girls shouted out a comment - in my ear - to the guy as he was leaving. The girls continued their conversation about a pair of shoes until one finally turned to me and asked, "What did you say you wanted?" She gave me my change with NO thank you whatsoever. I suppose if they intend for their futures to be spent in a cornfield they will have little use for good manners, but if they expect to work with the public, they'll need remedial social instruction.

When you drive all the way to a farm, using up expensive gas, and taking the time to do so, you expect fresh food at a reasonable price. Otherwise, why not just go to a grocery store? I purchased 16 peppers from this farm on Saturday afternoon and left them on my board to freeze the next day. Early sunday morning my son pointed out to me that two of the peppers had collapsed within themselves during the night and were a pile of wet mush. Before I could get to the peppers that afternoon, two more had done the same. So 1/4 of the peppers that I bought were useless, and another couple were puckering! I would not expect food that had been fresh picked to have rotted so fast. Clearly, this was not fresh picked produce. I also thought 50 cents per tomato was rather expensive and did not buy any. The 6 zucchini I also bought were ok.
