[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wegmeyer farms in VA did a great job when we went strawberry picking. Reservations required, they assigned rows to spread everyone out, no weighing (one price for a bucket), staff in masks, big things of hand sanitizer at entrance. [/quote]

We did Wegmeyer yesterday and did not have a good experience. They give you strict instructions to only pick fully ripe strawberries and then they assigned us a row with very few ripe strawberries. After picking that whole row we asked for another and were given another similar row. After picking that one our bucket was still less than half full. After that the "patch boss" was really rude to us saying we weren't picking well enough and when I said there simply weren't enough ripe strawberries we were told "well its a pandemic what can we do?" Huh? What does that have to do with how many reservations they pre sold? He very angrily gave us a third row and told us no matter what we would NOT be given another row.

The ripe strawberries were tiny, about the size of a grape.

We will not be returning. [/quote]
