I will for sure keep them in mind for future visits and I hope to drive out there and support them with my business when I am able.

I've been visiting Thistledown Farms since I was a child and have so many wonderful memories…read moregrowing up going here. After recently moving back to the area, I was excited to return. Unfortunately, this experience was incredibly disappointing. I have a fully trained service dog who is ADA compliant and an essential part of my medical treatment plan. Despite this, we were denied a ride to the pumpkin patch because of my service dog. My dog is also trained around horses, so this was never something I anticipated. This was the first time I've ever experienced an access issue like this, and it completely changed how I feel about a place that once held so many happy memories for me. We ultimately left and went to Hentze Family Farm, where we had an amazing experience. It's especially disappointing to feel excluded from a place you've loved since childhood because you rely on a trained service animal. Businesses need to understand their responsibilities under the ADA and ensure that guests with disabilities are treated fairly and provided equal access to their services. I truly hope Thistledown Farms takes the time to review its service animal policies and staff training so that other people don't have to experience the same disappointment.

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.

I called last Sunday asking if they were dog friendly- The…read moreperson said we sure are! So I packed my dog & drove to the very popular farm. Within 10 seconds of leaving my car, I'm approached by a staff member that stated there were too many people there & they wouldn't allow dogs. Fast forward to today, Friday. I come back hoping less people are here as my special needs son, not myself does not do well around a lot of people. After 10 minutes of waiting in line with no one selling tickets, I ask if they cover the entrance of DSP's. The guy asks what that is; I explain & his response was, "no we don't do that because then we won't make as much money as we do'. Well, so I didn't let my son down, I fork out the 20. For my son, his 2 DSP's & myself. We won't be returning. NOT SPECIAL NEEDS FRIENDLY. By the way, Hentze farms didn't charge for my dsp & the tractor ride had a bigger tractor & a way more scenic ride.

Speaking as someone who's gotten a tree by nearly every method possible: store bought fake, boy scout tree lots, christmas tree farms, and even venturing out into the woods to chop down a tree myself in the snow. This is this is the best. When you first arrive, make a beeline to the shed filled with Christmas decorations and a cafe to fulfill all your hot chocolate and cider warming needs. Next, wander next door where expert wreathmakers are at hand to whip together swag and fancy wreaths for decorating your house. Then, head outside to meet a jolly helper who will guide you to the proper hay ride to their different fields for whatever variety of fancy tree you desire. After you chop down your tree and get it loaded back to onto the tractor, relax under the large tree where they have a roaring bonfire to stay warm and enjoy the picturesque view and surrounding festivities while they bale your perfect tree for you to take home.

She yelled at me & my 2 kids when we asked where the maze entrance was after $40 to go in. Then after my littlest finished, she wouldn't give him a sticker until after he "correctly" answered. It felt like she did not like kids which is odd for a pumpkin patch. Then the worst was several of the signs in the maze were incorrectly labeled & the trails were poorly maintained. This place definitely needs a bit of TLC & a training on customer service. But, there was free easy parking & a few good free photo ops.

After having a very disappointing experience at Thistledown Farms due to issues accommodating my ADA compliant service dog, we were pleasantly surprised by how wonderful our experience was here. From the moment we arrived, everyone was welcoming, respectful, and accommodating. It was clear that the staff understood service animal access and had appropriate policies and training in place. My service dog was treated with respect, and we were able to enjoy our time together without feeling excluded or having to explain ourselves. It truly means so much when a business makes everyone feel welcome and ensures guests with disabilities can enjoy the same experiences as everyone else. Thank you, Hentze Family Farms, for such a positive experience! We will absolutely be back, and I highly recommend visiting.

ME & Moore Farm's pumpkin patch is now open (since yesterday, normally they do not open on Sundays…read morebut did for this special day). My husband and I decided to make a stop by this smally family owned farm, hoping to see pumpkins and purchase some vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately this farm is not dog friendly so our little girl stayed in the car (please note that the temperature was cold and had lightly rained earlier so she was not overheated while she waited a short time for us). We walked inside the open air store and ended up purchasing 2 Empire apples and one zucchini. We haven't had the chance to cook the zucchini yet (will do so tomorrow once we arrive at our AirBnB that has a kitchen) but we ate the apples and they were nice and crisp. The skin of the apple was thick but was good. Loved the color of this apple and the creaminess of the inside. Service was generally friendly and quick (but we were not acknowledged when we first came in, as the 2 employees were having a conversation between themselves, with the backs turned). The unisex restroom that I used was clean and adequately stocked with the essentials. Overall, had a nice experience and would consider coming back if I lived in the area.

Bigger isn't always better! We visited this farm for u-pick…read morestrawberries. 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.
