To see a butterfly chrysalis, with butterflies that just emerged... very amazing! The flower gardens are fantastic. We walked around the grounds, it's about a 5 minute walk. They also have the special plants/flowers that you can take home to your own butterfly garden. If you're in this area, be sure to take a quick, easy break from driving... I don't think you'll be sorry! Teens were mostly in charge when we visited, most of the time you're on your own to explore.

You have to walk a tiny bit to see Fort Umpqua, but it is pretty cool to see an actual fort. The best part is the butterfly pavilion. The eggs are teenie tiny blue dots the size of the head of a pin. The butterflies are lovely. Be very careful where you step. We walked down to the river and waded out to the sandbar and looked for cool rocks. That was awesome. All in all, it's a nice place to take a load off.

It was so special to go there the day before the wedding with my maid of honor and bridesmaid to pick up my order of dried florals and then wander around the grounds to do some u-pick for the live flowers and greenery. We got to have a little "Stardew Valley" moment and it was so memorable. The flowers we got turned into the most beautiful bridal bouquet and stunning boutonnieres, I didn't have to spend a fortune on florals, and I couldn't be happier!

A sizable part of our farm includes popular annual and perennial flowers such as larkspur, peonies, calla lilies, lavender.

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.
