    Visiting from out of state and wanted to take some goodies from Oregon home with with me. There…read morewas a nice variety of fruits, vegetables, berries, artisanal jams, sauces and so much more. I wish we had a kitchen where we were staying at because I would have loved taking back some veggies and berries with me to make something special on our trip. Instead, I got a selection of preserves in the farm market bing cherry, farm market boysenberry, wild and rare huckleberry, old fashion mountain blackberry, and old fashion red raspberry. I also got two jars of pasta sauce in roasted garlic and the other was portobello mushroom. I got one jar of Carolina reaper salsa as well. I thought these items would be great to bring back home and enjoy. Cashier was very friendly. Everything came out to about sixty bucks which wasn't bad at all. I have already tried the salsa and it is nice and spicy. The huckleberry preserves are good. I spooned a little into a small bowl and topped it with Tillamook vanilla bean ice cream and some granola crumbles. There are so many possibilities with the what I got and I am looking forward to trying everything. I look forward to trying more items from Farmer John's when we are in the area again.

    Without naming names, I'll just say there are other farm stands very nearby that I prefer,…read moreespecially price-wise, however, you will see me returning to Farmer Johns with some regularity as I cannot stay away from their amazing fruit shakes! My husband and I both like to add additional fruit, which means the shakes end up being an outrageous $10+ each and yet...we get them a couple times a month in the summer. Besides the shakes they do have a lot to offer: some produce they've grown themselves as well as much that is from elsewhere, snacks, beverages, fresh cut flowers (peonies, zinnias, delphinium, etc, (and the flowers are surprisingly well priced), plants, and even gift-y or souvenir items, like candles, mugs, etc. Foodwise, they have strawberry short cakes and a rotating selection of baked goods like cakes and cookies, plus smoothies, sundaes, and fruit lemonades. They have bouncy houses and some fun activities available for little ones, plus U-pick on some items, so it could make a great little stop for a break or just to stretch your legs on the way home from the beach. Honestly, it's such a cute spot with fun things to do and a great variety of items, including some local. Much of what they sell is bordering exorbitantly priced, so just prepare yourself so you can enjoy it.

    We recently went to pick apples and was surprised at all the upick veggies. They had corn,…read morecucumbers, watermelon, peppers tomato's, flower and pears. We picked a watermelon and 1/2 bucket of apples. I feel like the apples were either under ripe or overripe. 1/2 bucket $8.50 full bucket $17. Watermelon upick is $6. They did have already picked buckets that you could just purchase a higher price. I didn't catch the price of the veggies or flowers. I will go back to check out the pears in a few weeks.

    I only recently was made aware of this place, and I'm glad I was…read more At the time I visited, around the middle of October, they had pumpkins as well as flowers on offer. I was here for apples, and they had a ton of options. They were very friendly and patiently explained the process. You fill buckets and then pay at the end. They have pull carts so you can move multiple buckets around. There are so many varieties of apples! There is a chart at the entrance to the orchard with the names and what purpose is best for each kind of apple (eating, baking, applesauce). They also let you sample the apples to help with the selection process. The orchards extend farther than was apparently from the parking lot. It was peaceful at the far end of some of the rows, and we found plenty of apples. It can be muddy, so boots are probably a good idea. It was a lovely fall day, with blue skies. This was a fun way to connect with the season and to become more familiar with where some of our food comes from. Highly recommended.

The blackberries and Marionberries, my fave. They are big, plump, and bursting with flavor. Plus, they are so much easier to pick at a farm where the bushes are staked to a trellis vs. the wild ones I pick on the side of the road. Don't get me wrong, I do pick the wild ones, but I'm usually covered in juice and my hands and arms get all pricked. When I'm here, I pick a huge bucketful so I can make pies. The berries are so sweet I just add a little sugar and lemon juice and the pies are perfect. Also pick enough so I can enjoy some plain, by the handfuls. Their blueberries are sweet and delicious, too! I make space in my freezer so I can have them throughout the year. If you don't want to pick your own, no worries, they sell containers and flats in their cute country store along with other food and gift items. This family farm is so picturesque! It's a lovely setting and it's well run with friendly staff. If you are picking fruit, definitely go in the morning to avoid the sun beating down on your back. And wear a hat!
