Home Growns Cellars - Madera, California

Christopher Sanchez

This place has the best homemade Pomegranate Juice. Lehman Farms is a must see if you like Americana. The historic tractors, Giant Sequoia Round, and tribute to Japanese farmers is magnificent. Just walking around the yard outside the store is a great experience. They have a really nice barn and wedding venue there as well. It's worth the trip to Madera just to see this place.

Truth Hurts

Full-blown manipulative and narcissistic, even the juice doesn't cut it when compared to dealing with Alex Lehman.

To my fellow readers, I am leaving this review as a final drop from years worth of remarkably appalling communications with Alex.

If speaking with zero sugarcoating - this guy is a demented joke. Unreasonable and is best regarded with multiple witnesses (though he remains unaffected by facts, at-large). You will find yourself praying that he doesn’t find a reason to disagree with you, even as Alex himself is entirely in the wrong.

Upon seeking clarification, he turns a question to a disagreement at the snap of his fingers and is only interested in controlling the conversation to be a one-sided monologue that is intended to not let you fit in a single word.

Rest assured that when you do finally speak your side and remind Alex of facts that inconvenience him to be responsible for his own words, he will stoop to hanging the call.

Simply put, Alex is severely difficult to deal with, and unfortunately, I’ve been witness today that this is a conscious and intentional practice on his part.

As someone who has dealt with this individual for many years and knows the need of walking on eggshells with him to ensure he doesn’t get moody (yes, that’s a MEGA common occurrence with Alex) - I am disgusted to learn that this routine is something he is completely aware of. As a a deeply inadequate person when it comes to communicating civilly, Alex tops everything off by having a disturbing expectation of being catered to in his issues, which absolutely speaks to his character and spills into the financial aspects of transactions as well.

More directly, he is unreliable, and as a habit he provides extremely poor instructions that later doesn’t want to be responsible for. Worse off, Alex is comfortable having a team from Northern California travel down to his farm to them turn them down over being half-an-hour late or not bringing a form that he himself forgot to necessitate. Is very finger-pointing when it comes to his own wrongdoings, and just leaves a nasty tasted in your mouth even if a call goes “well”.

This review is a collective experience of four total people who have done business with Alex over a span of 5+ years. Please, treat this as a long overdue warning about the troubling standards of how this business treats people because if you haven’t encountered a reason to agree with even some of the above, Alex will not keep you waiting long before you agree with ALL of the above.
