    A visitor writes on October 19, 2010: "It's really unfortunate that whoever commented that the lady at Willow View was rude got such a poor impression of the farm. As the next poster suggested, I'm sure it was a miscommunication. I live a few blocks from there and take my children weekly. It is are not just families who go, by any means. I regularly see my retired high-school teacher there picking apples with his wife. Admission is free, the grounds are festive, the produce abundant, the staff friendly and efficient, the kids can play for hours, the Cider Slushies are AMAZING! And be sure to get a Snack Jack pumpkin for the best roasting seeds ever. :)"
    A visitor writes on October 18, 2010:
    "Re: comment posted october 17, 2010 In reference to the rude lady on the phone responding "no more two of us's" I am certain she meant "no more tour buses". This farm is extremely busy on weekends with tour buses coming from the Vancouver/Richmond area and tends to chase away local visitors. "
    A visitor writes on October 17, 2010:
    "I just called to ask if the farm was open today (their website suggests it would be). The lady answered and said yes, they were open. She asked if we were a family and I said, no "just two of us." She quickly cut me off and said, "no more two of us." I was confused and asked her why not, to which she said "can't accomodate any more two of us's." She was remarkably rude and thus, I would not recommend giving any business to this place! Clearly not a couples-friendly farm!!"
    A visitor writes on September 22, 2009:
    "You can join the facebook group. They have fall festivals, pumpkin festivals, playground and picnic areas, petting barn and hayrides .I loved taking my daughter here. Great place for families to come out and spend the day, and lots of great produce to buy!!"
