What a cute little farm! It was my first time in Harrisburg and we came on one of those weird sunny…read morebut sporadic rainy days to go apple picking. You head to the main area to pick up the buckets and get a parking paper and they give you directions to drive to the trees. When you get there, just park on the side of the road and start picking!

U-pick fruit harvesting is fun activity that sort of reconnects you to nature and the "old ways"…read morewhile letting you bring home the "fruits" of your labor at affordable prices. And being only a 15-20 minute drive out of Eugene, a great way to spend a few hours with friends & family. We spent about 2 hours picking low-hanging cherries (really no need to climb ladders since fruit was so abundant) and got about 10 lbs for $30. The cherries were so fresh, sweet & juicy.......this from "sampling a few" which is also part of the fun of u-pick........that and pit-spittin' contests! The orchard is a laid back place with plenty of other varieties of fruit to pick and/or sample. Or simply just to purchase pre-picked. Different fruits have different "peak" seasons for harvesting so do some research and then go and enjoy nature's bounty.

BEWARE OF FRESH STRAWBERRIES!Usually, I am a big fan of Thistledown farm. Today, I had a very…read morenegative experience . I purchased 1/2 flat of fresh strawberries, to serve to dinner guests this evening. As I was cleaning the berries, they looked odd, it appeared that they had some sort of core on the inside of the berry. I was not sure what it was and the berries tasted "off". I thought the core looked like it could be a maggot, but I thought I was wrong, until I looked it up and yes, indeed berries can have maggots on the inside that you can not see from the outside. I called and spoke with the manager, they said to return them with the receipt and they would refund my money. My concern was they did not really apologize and said, we don't spray. I get that and I am happy for that, but, they are responsible for their product quality control. I felt their customer service response was very poor.

My son loved the whole place, they employ lively folks, the atmosphere is friendly and productive and fast paced and I FINALLY have a patch I'll go every year for pumpkins and fun. Let's be perfectly honest, there aren't a lot of pumpkin patches near this area that are this much fun. Their hay ride is fast and wild and you get to chuck pumpkins at things! Their pumpkin train is also fast and fun and has cushioned seats! There are goats to love, face painting, a hay maze, the classic corn maze and the pumpkin slingshots are hard to walk away from. The produce is high quality and well priced. The haunted experience was extensive, it goes around the whole farm so it's like doing multiple haunted houses. The actors were awesome. They take into consideration the best way to have fun and there is obvious love in this endeavor. Right under I5, the space is utilized to it's last inch and conveniently located. Go early, stay late, we can't wait to see what else they do through the year. Thanks for the fun!

Once inside…read morethe building, my eyes immediately went to the luscious baskets of freshly picked strawberries. Their fragrance was overwhelming and I had to have a 3 pack then and there. Passed the tase test with flying colors! Also noticed the freshest basil I have ever seen at a farm stand. And now, I can say, it was more than amazing in our tomato sauce. Wonder how they kept it so fresh? The farm also sells honey, organic popsicles, dried blue and assortment veggies. June brings blueberries picking time. Imagine, organic berries that you can pick. I'd do it in a heartbeat if we were in the area. This is a must see if you enjoy tasteful organic produce.

Fortunately, the nice lady manning the shop said we were still welcome to try the shriveled up berries and look around the farm. My friend and I really enjoyed seeing all the fruit trees, strawberries, rainbow chard (beautiful!), etc. The little shop with fresh farm fares was nice as well. They sell local honey and blueberry popsicles (they were $2 and so-so... I would pass on them if I were torn about whether to try them or not). In any case, the folks here are really nice. They offered my friend and me a slice of watermelon the farmers had been trying; I was warned that it was the tail end of watermelon season so they wouldn't be that great, but it was good enough. Also, apparently, the head farmer is only 26 and from Chicago. So random!

I bought a bag and also some very grainy and lovely colored polenta. I took my goodies home and anxiously made some popcorn. I stopped using canola oil because I learned it is not meant for high heat cooking. I only had olive oil and used it instead. I had no idea what was wrong w/ my popcorn until after a few failed attempts to make it and failed. I had used up almost all my kernels. I emailed LWF and was told olive oil doesn't get hot enough and so the oil wouldn't work w/ the popcorn. I visited the Eugene Farmers Market again this past Jan. and decided to get some more polenta and popcorn. The owner was so kind to remember my email and problem...she gave me a free bag of popcorn and suggested I try coconut oil. My popcorn pops perfectly and the taste is amazing. beautiful white puffs of corn w/ a lovely black shell. The polenta is very nice too. I found I have to use less water than the recipe calls for but it cooks very nicely! BIG FAN OF LONESOME WHISTLE!

Do take a group and visit for the full farm/vineyard experience or make sure to drop in on one of the few days it's open to the general public. It's so worth the trip.

At $5.00 a pound, this was unacceptable. After a week I called to tell them the peaches were not ripening and I wanted to bring them back and get my money back. I told them when I was coming, but when I got there, they said the owner wasn't available. I had to come another day and they were hostile and told me there is nothing wrong with their peaches. I will not buy my produce at this farm market again. I will drive the extra distance to Detering's in Harrisburg where they grow their own peaches and also have U-pick. They are delicious and they know the varieties of their produce which Peoria market does not. all they could tell me is that were "yellow" or white!
