This orchard has the best prices in the area for peaches in the summer and apples in the fall. However, I am disappointed in the quality of the fruit. They put the best looking fruits on the top of the box and put the less fresh fruit in the bottom of the box. It would be okay if this happened once maybe twice but this happened several times.

I love this farm. This was my first time actually going, but my mom goes just about every week in the summer to get peaches. Friendly people! We bought all of our fruits, and they gave us an apple each. We ended up buying a bag of those too. ;) sneaky, but more for meee :) So in the end we ended up with– cantaloupes, apples(ginger gold), peaches and seconds. I usually use the seconds in my smoothies, or desserts! SUMMER = TIMEFORFRUITS. I eat my weight in fruits and veggies on a weekly basis. Gotta load up and at kingsbury, the price is right!

The owner, an elderly white woman, is extremely racist and unpleasant. She was pleasant with every white family, but not to ours because of our race. We had the same experience that another reviewer had with the appalling behavior of the owner. We were attempting to inspect the corn we were going to buy and she yelled at us, «Corn is corn.» We drove very far to come here and had the worst experience. Do not recommend this place to anyone. The corn was also not great and overpriced.

I am writing this with mixed feelings; I’ve only heard good things about Kiingsbury’s but I’m still wondering about what happened today– besides the 2nd worst case of customer service I’ve ever experienced(First place continues to be held by Comcast!). The first 2 minutes of my experience were nice– a beautiful location with cows and a goat, a cute little pond– really lovely, really relaxing. I hear they have a cute dog, too, but I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting the pup I went to buy corn– my neighbors have said they are better and cheaper than very nearby Lewis Orchards. I made the mistake of trying to inspect the corn first– this is what I’ve always done, peel a bit of the husk to just see if there are worms, etc. On cob 7, the proprietress of the farm market, an elderly woman, suddenly told me that I couldn’t put the cob back after I inspected the tip– I had to buy it. Now, she had watched me inspect each cob for the first 6, then suddenly pipes up when I find my first reject. I don’t know why she didn’t share her policy until I violated it. I dutifully obeyed and put the offending cob in my sack and proceeded to select cobs without inspection, but I made the mistake about pushing her on her policy– I was really puzzled. I was stunned, and shared I’d always done this, indeed this was how I was told to buy corn. She was just mean, then when I suggested she put up a sign with her policy, she grabbed my bag of corn, dumped it back in the bushel, and told me to go to Lewis Orchards. Which I did. Honestly, the experience was surreal. Turns out Lewis Orchards has the same policy, but it’s really clearly marked. I can appreciate the policy based on their clear communication. Friends joined me for dinner who love this place and were equally shocked. As a result of speaking with them, we all wonder if the proprietress is OK. I did not cuss, scream or do more than seem a bit incredulous– which was as much in reaction to her to attitude as it was to the policy general. So, my very negative review is not based on the quality of the food, but the bizarre behavior of the owner. So, I hear the peaches are great, but maybe buy your corn at Lewis. BTW, Lewis was cheaper!

Great products. Friendly people. I especially love the cows on the property. I have seen the owner take a whole truckload of apples to the cows. When they see him coming from a distance they start to run ecitedly toward the truck, like one of the pets. They also have a donkey and black goat on the property too.

Woohoooo, review nr 700! And an FTR to boot! :-) I figured for this monumentous occasion I’d give our local farms some love. If you read my reviews at all, you will notice that in the summer I like to go out to pick my own produce(see:http://www.yelp.com/biz/homestead-farm-poolesville
) and to shop at farmers’ markets(see:
). So, when a co-worker recently informed me of a farm right here in MoCo that grows lots of different peach varieties, I knew I had to check it out. If you are are at Homestead or Lewis, Kingbury’s Orchard’s farm stand is a very short drive — right on aptly named Peach Tree Road. You cannot pick your own peaches, but they sell their fruit for lower prices than I’ve seen elsewhere. I bought a bag for $ 6 and it contained close to 5lbs. However, the some of the pieces seem to have been picked a tad early — they still had a slight green tinge at the very top. They definitely need a few days to ripen either way, and only then — once I have actually tasted the peaches — can I give a better assessment of this farm.
