    A visitor writes on May 25, 2009: "I am the third generation in our family to pick at this farm. Up untill 2 years ago that is. My children go every year to pick strawberries with me and know the right way to work around the plants and show respect. Our last 2 times picking at their farm with children made me walk away feeling as though we were treated as criminals. We went to pick strawberries and since I had children with me, they wanted us to pick 10 feet from a busy higher speed road. I expressed how unsafe that is when you do have children with you and since there was a curve bend next to where they wanted to put us. I requested we be put a safer distance from the road and was told the owner does not want children anywhere else but on the outside of the rows. O.K. Understandable, how about putting us in a safer spot. Needless to say, within 3 minutes the owner came up and very rudely said my children were trampling his plants. Which they were not but we left and I exclaimed how I have never felt so unwelcome as I had that day. We gave them one more try and went to pick beans. Since I had children, they sent an employee to "man the field" as I picked and my children played around our car 20 feet away-not even close to their plants.The employee stayed close by and when we left, they did too. There were at least 5 other people in the field and when I passed by 10 minutes later going to a friends house- no employee out there. Dropped off some of the beans at our friends house and 15 minutes after my last drive by, still no employee. It made me feel as though we were treated differently due to having children. For a farm to advertise they are "family friendly and a family farm, they did not show it. We switched to Walnut gardens which is just 10 minutes from Hilgerts and will continue to go to Walnut Gardens for great produce (U-pick and barn market), great prices, and the multi generational family who runs it that goes out of their way to accommodate families with children."
