    Sept, 2024. We were visiting the Whispering Woods Resort in Welches, Oregon and stopped by the…read moreHoodland Thriftway to pick up some groceries that we'd need for the week. This grocery store, and only this store, were convenient to the resort. My understanding is that Sandy, Oregon, 15 miles away, has a Safeway, a Fred Meyer, and other shopping options. Selection was quite good for a relatively small mountain store, and we found everything that was on our grocery list. However, we were shocked by the prices, which appeared to be significantly higher than we expected for almost every item that we looked at. Fresh fruits and vegetables were especially high. For example, a single yellow bell pepper was $3.29. Bananas were $1.19/pound. While in the store, my husband asked me whether we should get an apple cider for about $6. When we got home, we were shocked to see that we were charged $13.69 for the cider. It's possible that the $6 sign referred to a smaller size. Also of concern, we found that some items that were on sale through their weekly circular or Managers Specials did not go through at their sale prices -- specifically bread (overcharged $1) and potato chips (also $1 over). On the positive side, we did find a few well-priced items, including frozen pizza (sale), sausage links (sale), and goat cheese. The check-out cashier was efficient and friendly enough. Parking was plentiful and free. Note that we also didn't see a Customer Service counter. We wanted to ask whether we needed to get a customer loyalty card to get sale prices. The cashier confirmed that they would be automatic. We would still probably return if we needed only a few items, but we'll be going to Sandy for larger shopping trips.

Sandy is about 17 miles away. Fred Meyer had an excellent selection of fruits and vegetables, meats, etc., at price points that were in line with what we expected to pay. Some specials, as advertised through their weekly circular, were bargains. We found everything that was on our shopping list, and much more. We saved about $20 on a $100 order by using their loyalty card, but lost a few bucks by not having their app on our phones for digital specials. Parking was plentiful and free. Staff (in the self check-out) was helpful. There's a Fred Meyer gas station adjacent to the main store which was convenient. Items scanned at their correct prices (though see note below about digital savings). The store was well-organized and clean. One point off in my rating for two reasons. (1) we had some issues with the self check-out register that required staff to come over to our station multiple times -- which was annoying. It turns out that the register was getting confused by having two people at the register. My husband was scanning, while I bagged. (2) we didn't get the "sale" price that was on the label in front of a few items on display. It turned out that you need not only a loyalty card but you also need to add digital coupons via the Fred Meyer app. Too many hoops to jump through to get the best prices.

This is a third generation farm - their grandparents immigrated from Japan in the early 1900s. It's almost 300 acres and they've got apples, pears, peaches, cherries, berries, and probably more. The farmstand is open July through November. They've got a pick your own/U-pick options. They specialize in growing over 150 different varieties of apples, pears, cherries, and stone fruit. Their website is pretty up-to-date on which fruit are available at any given time. I really enjoyed stopping into the marketplace for a wide selection of pre-picked fruits, some of which had samples available. They were priced by weight and I was very pleased with the cost in the end ($12 for so many apples!).

And this orchard is so fun to visit in mid-October during harvest time. They have wagon rides, a big fort for kids, an apple variety tasting, and dozens & dozens of apples and pear varieties for sale. We filled up a box of cosmic crisps to take home, plus loaded up on a bunch of jugs of honey for the year - 3 lbs for $24 is a great deal. I also walked through the orchard and loved that they labeled all the rows of trees so you can see all the many varieties. They had apple cider and apples with caramel sauce as samples while waiting in line. While I'm disappointed that the apple tasting still costs as much as last year, the experience is otherwise great and I'll be back.

They have plenty of outdoor seating for your little pups, though the water dish they left out was unattended to. As far as food, they had a whole plant-based menu to meet my vegan needs. More important, they were able to make a gluten-free sandwich for my partner with celiac. They took precautions to minimize cross-contact with gluten items, including wrapping the sandwich up separately and bringing it out to us first before bringing out our gluten containing items. The three in our group had mixed reviews on the food quality. I enjoyed my reuben very much. My partner and his mom thought their food was okay, and their portions were too small for the price. As far as the actual store goes, they carry a lot of what your typical natural foods store or food co-op would carry, though the prices seem more along the lines of what a Whole Foods would charge. For example, $3.50 for a single avocado. Considering that they are a small business in a somewhat touristy town, I guess that is a sound business decision. All in all, a good experience, just expect to pay a little more if you are going to shop or eat there!
