  A visitor writes on September 27, 2009:  (positive) "I have visited this farm many times over the years and cannot believe the bad reviews i have read. Davis Peach Farm is famous for their quality and service. I wouldn't go anywhere else. It is a great place to take your children and create a lifetime of precious memories and family traditions. The Davis' couldn't be nicer and their employees are so sweet. If you don't believe me just try to get in there on a Sunday....the cars are lined up to try and get the best long island grown produce available from good old fashioned farmers!"
  A visitor writes on August 26, 2009: (negative) "I went to Davis Farms for peaches back in July, at that time there was plenty of peaches. The person with the comment about them refunding people their money if they didn't pick over $10 worth of peaches I would like to know where my $3 went. I somewhat agree with the person who said the workers are not so polite, although the cashier person was very pleasant."
  A visitor writes on August 09, 2009: (negative) "Had a rather unpleasant experience here. Went into orchard to pick peaches and was not given clear instructions where to pick. Young lady at counter forgot to specify right or left side of designated rows. No personel were available in the orchard to direct you to the correct rows Picked a few of the wrong type of peaches!!! Charged a penalty of over 3 times the market price!!! Called the police because the farm would not reach a reasonable accomodation, confiscated the fruit that we picked, and would not return my deposit. The police were powerless to assist however they did indicate that this happens here all the time, including physical altercations, and wondered why people bother coming here when there are other very good farms nearby! I agree, there are other orchards with great fruit and accomodating staff. Pass this place by. "
  A visitor writes on August 08, 2009: (positive) "I just read some feedback that visitors to Davis Peach Farm wrote. Well I cannot disagree with them more. I was just there with my family on Saturday August 8, 2009. We had a wonderful time and the trees we were told to pick from were abundant with fruit. We had 19 rows of trees to choose from, there were hundreds of trees to pick from. The people who worked there were very clear about the policies. We weren't there very long before we filled four bags with beautiful perfect peaches. We gave a $10.00 deposit and if you didn't pick $10.00 worth of fruit they refund the difference and if you pick more you pay the difference at one dollar a pound. You do have to pay for whatever you pick. If you don't like the policy then don't pick so much fruit. Why would anyone pick fruit they didn't intend on buying? I don't understand how they can complain about that policy. In closing I would go back there again and I highly recommend this orchard to everyone. It's a great way to spend a day with the family on the beautiful east end on Long Island."
  A visitor writes on August 04, 2009: (negative) "We visited this farm we paid to get in and there were nothing on the rows of trees open for picking. I am extreemly disappointed and so are my friends and families who went with me. the staff are very impolite and money grabbers-NO REFUNDS! and you had to pay for what you brought out. thank God in our case was nothing cause there were nothing to pick. customers please beware of this farm. "
  A visitor writes on August 02, 2009: (negative) "We went to this farm with the family. They are sooooo bad. They charge upfront monies and then dont let people go to good trees. They had only 3-4 aisles open which had nothing on the trees. Then they say that there is no refund and have to buy what ever we bring to the counter. In short they r just rip off's and every 1 over there was complaning about it. i want u to put these comments about them on ur website so that other people will know."

  A visitor writes on October 09, 2009: "My 13-yr. old son & I went on 10/4; it was a beautiful summery day and my birthday. Although it was nice, we were disappointed enough to try another farm next time; I would not return there. The personnel were HORRIBLE...mostly unavailable, completely unhelpful and downright rude. Nothing is labeled anywhere; there is no way to know where the different trees are for different kinds of apples; we were on our own walking all over the orchards...guessing. Everyone appeared to be looking for Granny Smith's and everyone was told different "directions." If they can't label the trees or paths, or provide a map, they should have employees out there to guide you. There are several entrances and parking areas and no way to know which one leads to which apples or which is the ONLY ONE w/the Port-a-Potty. They charge you for the plastic bags which are so cheap, they fall apart if you put too many apples in them. Then you're stuck out in the fields with nothing to put them in. Seeing a lot of empty trees, I asked if we had to pick from the ground or were there other trees elsewhere that were full. I was told they didn't know, you had to just go all over. Was even told "it's the end of the season." As if it was at own own risk and we might not even find any at all. We did not find the Granny Smiths (that was the reason we picked this particular farm in the first place after calling several places) but when we paid our $1/lb. for whatever it was we picked (no way to know or even learn!) the guy on line behind us had a bushel full of the Granny's. He gave us directions to find them. We went there rushing like crazy b/c it was now 4pm. Yes, we found them but basically had to pay twice, for twice as many apples as we wanted, b/c we'd already paid for the first batch....because we had no help finding what we wanted! Several people we met said they were also treated rudely and many I spoke to said they felt they were on their own w/no guidance."
  Note from Blake: NEVER pick apples from the ground - that's how to get E. Coli food poisoning.  It's also illegal for the farm to sell those in many states.

Home Canning Kits This is the same type of  standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer, and the bible of canning, the Ball Blue Book. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars & lids! To see more canners, of different styles, makes and prices, click here!For more information and current pricing: Click here for a larger photo, more information, pricing, ordering, etc. Average Customer Review: Usually ships in 1-2 business days
