Best Farm in Canada

C	Chris Na on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice U pick farm if you don't mind the owner follows you and tells you which "trees" to pick the cherries from. There were nicer cherries on the other trees but I wasn't "allowed" to pick from there. They have nice ladders which they make you climb and pick from the top. You work for them for free and pay for the fruit you picked. You get discounts if you are lucky as the rate per pounds changes depends who you talk to and weigh in. The cherries are delicious if you don't mind some dings & dents and some mushy parts, although you spent some time to pick the less damaged and OK looking cherries and avoiding dried up cherries. Don't eat one or two cherries on site because they sprayed them and you will be told again if you get caught. Overall, it is a nice farm to experience cherry picking while the owners watching right beside you when no other farms around it closed for the weekend.
M	Matthias Klampfer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ absolutely delicious cherries and nice people - I also loved the campsite, which is directly in the orchard under cherry trees. I red the ratings before and I don't really understand, why people are complaining because they had to pick the cherries from trees the owner told them! This makes sense, because otherwise a lot of cherries would go bad. Best regards! Matt
C	CN on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great location to camp on my roadtrip out east during the summer. Amazing cherries as well! Hopefully will return next summer!
T	Tammy Kosolofski on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In between moving homes we stayed here for a week or so and had a most enjoyable time. We had our small dog and the campground was full at all times (July/August 2016) but everyone was very courteous and friendly. The owners of the orchard were very accomodating to all who arrived. I'm not a cherry lover but my husband is and he enjoyed picking a few for himself. Cherries vary in cost all over the valley so these are very competitive in price. I would highly recommend this camping experience to everyone! The orchard is beautiful, it's close to amenities, the outhouse is cute, showers are pay but work well and it's not very far from the beach. Thank you very much for our enjoyable stay Dickinson Family Farm!! We will be back!
H	Heather Vaughan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We stopped in to pick cherries for the first time yesterday and it was awesome. It wasn't very busy and the cherries are wonderful. Very clean washroom (cleanest outhouse I have ever seen) and friendly, helpful staff. Definitely going back!
P	PP Garneau on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The owner was rude. Followed us step by step. Told my wife she had to leave because she tasted THREE cherries...the price was really too hight ($4/lb) Bad experience.
N	Nestor Stadnyk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We love this place. We've been picking cherries at this place for the last approximately 20 years. The price may be higher at this farm, but the taste and quality is far superior to anything we've purchased elsewhere in the valley. When picking we keep the good ones and drop the spoiled ones on the ground. The nice looking juicy ones on the other side of the fence that we are not allowed to pick, are a later variety and are not totally ripe yet. We drive hundreds of miles every year to pick cherries at this place and it has always been a wonderful experience. We decided one year not to pick cherries but to just purchase them from an unnamed fruit stand in a large quantity. The cherries on the top of the box were large and looked very nice. They were cheaper. But when we got to lower part of the box, cherries were smaller, less ripe and much more tasteless. When we return home we share the Dickinson cherries with our friends and family, they never stop ranting and raving about how great they taste. It will always be Dickinson Family farm for me. P.S. I have sampled cherries without washing them, what a terrible taste it left in my mouth. I think it's a spray to prevent the cherry from growing a fungus and spoiling, but what do I know, I'm just a berry happy cherry picker.
G	Grayson Pratt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My homie and I pulled up to this spot after not being able to find a spot anywhere in the entire valley. Dwayne met us outside his front door and graciously allowed us to sleep in his orchard amongst the trees in our tents because he was out of camping spots, Class act of a guy with a good sense of humour and beautiful plot of land. Would truly recommend this spot over any campsites in the valley, clean amenities available (shower, toilet, running water, as well as a fridge) best spot we will be back next time we come through, Sincerely, The hungover boys.
