Just moved to the area and found this produce stand, and it is my favorite thing I’ve found yet. The $25 bag you can fill up is amazing. They also have things like soup mixes, pickles, meat from farmers, candy, and flavored maple syrup in one of the buildings. The owner was really nice and it was awesome to hear his story! You can tell he really cares about people and his community. -
Very knowledgeable about healthy eating habits. I got the $25 bag as well as more veggies. I will definitely be back -
Very disappointed with my visit to Perkins Orchard. I had the displeasure to meet the owner during my first 5 minutes of being there. He was extremely unpleasant, self-conceited, and didn’t seem to give a lick about the customers, only himself. As soon as you step out of your car, you are immediately asked if you have been at the shop before, and if you do not answer his question, he will proceed to aggressively ask you multiple times until you do. You are then drug through a 10 minute “tour” (it is quite literally just him boasting about himself) where he does not stop talking once. Oh, and don’t even think about interrupting it or asking a question because he will become very rude and nasty towards you. I was also disappointed with the selections of fruits and vegetables. Everything was advertised as “fresh” and “juicy,” but as I looked around, much of the produce had already gone bad or was very close to going bad. However the actual place and decorations looked very nice, if you do decide to visit I would recommend you try to stay as far away from the owner as possible. He is the reason I will not be returning. -
Amazing people doing amazing things!!!, I went for the first time a couple days ago and the customer service was amazing! definitely ask about brian. They are very informative and love to help the community. They have great produce and not to mention their $25 bag that you can fill to the top! We will definitely be back! -
Perkins Orchard is an absolute gem of a find! As someone who loves supporting local businesses and seeing their legacies continue, finding this beautiful spot was incredible. The produce is amazing, the prices are great, and the service is outstanding. The owner was incredibly kind and helpful, and the whole experience honestly reminded us of our childhoods. We will absolutely be new regulars here!
