My husband and I were so excited to return here this year as we stumbled across Hope Farm in 2023 and fell in love. It was my favorite things all under one roof: the outdoors, mixed with beautiful flowers and wine with charcuterie!
Fast forward to today...5/26/24. This place has drastically gone down hill and it made me very sad. I've had this event on my calendar for the past several weeks, looking forward to picking my own stems for a beautiful bouquet for our home. No, can't do that anymore. Can you mix and match colors? No, everything has to be the same, 10 stems, nothing more, nothing less and all the same color. Oh and it's $39! The flowers came squished up inside damp brown paper. I had to remove several petals that were brown or torn. I'm sorry, but if I'm paying $40 for a bouquet of flowers, then they should be in a vase or delicately wrapped and I should be able to pick what a want! This is a flower farm after all!
The wine...awful and tasted like grocery store wine. None of the 3 different varieties were good. The blush wine I settled on was just "acceptable". Then we decide to get a charcuterie board since we enjoyed one last year. It was beautifully displayed last year on a plate or marble type slab and tasted great! This year? We were literally handed boxes of a meat and cheese tray, a container of hummus from the grocery store (yes, still in its plastic container) and a box of crackers in its original packaging! We were disgusted and even commented that it didn't come on a plate anymore. The lady behind the counter said "oh, well this makes it great to take any extras home". Really?!
My husband and I wasted $100 here and only stayed 30-45 minutes. It was a complete bomb. We should've known better when there was hardly anyone there and the woman behind the counter was singing "I hate myself for loving you."
