Upriver Organics: Leaburg’s Fresh and Fun Farm Adventure 🌱🍓
Nestled in the picturesque McKenzie River Valley, just a hop, skip, and a jump from Eugene, Oregon, Upriver Organics is your go-to destination for farm-fresh fun and organic delights. Established in 1995, this 17-acre certified organic farm is bursting with vibrant fruits and veggies, eagerly waiting to tickle your taste buds.
Why You Should Sprout on Over:
-
Farm Stand Fanfare: Swing by their charming farm stand from May through Labor Day, where you’ll find a cornucopia of organic produce. From juicy strawberries to heirloom squash, it’s a veggie lover’s paradise.
-
Berry Picking Bonanza: Channel your inner farmer with their U-pick blueberry sessions. It’s a berry good time for all ages! Just remember to bring your own containers and leave Fido at home—pups and produce don’t mix.
-
CropShare Community: Join their CSA program to enjoy a weekly box of seasonal, organic goodies. It’s like having a farmers market in a box, delivered with love.
-
Sunshine and Scenery: Located at a sunny 1,100 feet elevation, Upriver Organics basks in more rays and less fog than the Willamette Valley. The result? Extra-sweet produce and a delightful day trip destination.
A Few Tips Before You Dig In:
-
Seasonal Soiree: The farm stand and U-pick are seasonal affairs, so plan your visit between late May and early September to avoid any “closed for the season” blues.
-
Come Prepared: Bring sturdy shoes (mud happens), containers for your berry haul, and a picnic blanket to lounge and munch amidst the scenic splendor.
So, pack up the family, slather on some sunscreen, and make your way to Upriver Organics. It’s more than a farm—it’s a fresh-air fiesta with a side of organic goodness!
