The variety they planted is Albion, they are huge, pithy inside and despite the farm staff saying they are sweet it is not accurate. They are not juicy or sweet and do not fully ripen on the inside. We picked only fully red fruit and tired to pick all sizes, most were HUGE. Picking the fruits was pretty easy but you did have to spend time looking, plants were not "loaded" with ripe fruit. We pick strawberries for eating fresh and freezing for winter use on cereals. We do not use them for jam, desserts or other dishes where sweetener is added. They may work really well for those purposes. The farm is located in a lovely setting and grows a variety of produce, also available at their stand at the Lane Co Farmers Mkt in Eugene. We can't speak for the other produce. the 3-star score is only for the strawberries. We are veteran u-pick folks in the Eugene area. In our long years of experience this strawberry is underwhelming even if it is organic. Other local farms may not be certified organic, you can always ask the farmer about their practices. We have learned that some use IPM and use organic fertilizer or herbicides very sparingly. The varieties are smaller and much tastier.

Made my first visit in last week and picked up half a flat of fresh picked strawberries, a pint of homemade sour cherry jam (they had several kinds available) heads of organic fresh leaf lettuce and a few big (BIG) handfuls of crispy pea pods. All of the things we purchased were wonderful. Berries, pea pods and lettuce were gone in short order. The jam is a great add in to morning yogurt. We'll be back for more of other things on our next trip to Eugene. The super friendly family staff that runs the farm and the farm store deserve special mention. They really do make you feel glad you came in. (The friendly back and forth they had with local regular customers while we were in the store demonstrates the value of good service to building customer loyalty.) When I called ahead for directions, since my GPS didn't find them, I asked if they had berries available. The woman I spoke with asked if I'd want to pick my own. No, I said, MS challenges have put my "pickin' days" behind me. She said she and her daughter would go pick some for me and if I'd give them 30 minutes before coming in, they'd have fresh berries ready. Nice. The farm store also has a full kitchen on prem and I had a chance to peek in it. They were making home made shortcakes (the aroma wafted through the store) and fresh strawberry pies on the day I was there. Also a note on accessibility for folks who need to consider it to get in the door. Very nice to see here a paved accessible parking stall right next to the store and a universally accessible ramp as the entry into the building. When I thanked them for making the store accessible because walking across a deep gravel lot like theirs is tough for me (and impossible for wheelchair users) they seemed surprised. :"Do you know we have to do that by law? Make our store accessible to everyone?" LOL....yes, I said, yes I do know that's the law. But you'd be amazed how many farm markets think it is optional. Very nice that they got it right here. Meaning I could get in to spend my money to buy River Bend products. Everyone benefits from equal access.. Friendly people, great fresh products, home made goodies, all people are welcome here access and a beautiful drive yet close to Eugene too. What's not to like? Go!

I stopped here after berry picking elsewhere and bought some veggies, free range eggs produced by happy roaming chickens (for only $5 a dozen, totally reasonable for the quality), garlic, hazelnuts and hazelnut butter, all kinds of good stuff. My friend bought some jam, and the person who sold it to us had made it fresh that week. They also sell other local products that are great for gifts, like an Oregon canned tuna that you can't find most places. And they aren't trying to brand a bunch of products with their label to increase their stock; the selection and variety are fairly modest but it reflects the most seasonal things growing at that moment, and everything is of the highest quality.

But they've got some fancy new digs with this permanent structure. It's not much more than walls and a roof, but that's useful for this type of market since the stalls might vary in size depending upon the vendor. There are vendors both in and outside the structure, selling baked goods (bagels, cookies, hot dogs, etc.), meats, flowers, fruits and veggies, you name it. And it's nice to be out of the rain for at least part of the time, which is oh so common in Eugene. They have a bathroom (an all-user bathroom, great!) but I'm not sure if it's just far too small or what. We didn't need it, thankfully, because there was a line out the door of the bathroom. This seems to be the biggest flaw with the building--not sure they really planned well in this case.

We ended up at the end of lots of farmland to this booth with a kind lady who helped strap us up with our buckets and we got to picking with our whole crew! It was a great trip and we got so many blueberries to freeze and save. They also had homemade soaps, blueberry butter, fresh muffins, and other goodies for sale at the booth. We were there a couple hours picking 3 buckets. I think the cost was about $40 ish total with the amount we picked. It's priced per pound. Lots of area to park & friendly owners & their children playing. So fun and special. The blueberries taste great. Oh! And not to mention they have these wonderful harnesses to clip your bucket to you so you can pick with both hands and not have to carry the bucket- came in SO handy. Plus then we had free hands to wrangle our young children running around the fields haha
