~~~~~~~~~ Apple Daze at Deterring Orchards 30946 Wyatt Drive in Harrisburg Every Saturday and Sunday through October Activities include: Animal corral, hay rides, playground, apple blaster, treasure mining, music and antique farm equipment. Free apple cobbler and fresh cider samples. U-Pick fruit from the orchards and seasonal produce. Vintage Market vendors to shop for fall décor! *GoMomGo tip: The samples, the play area, the little goats, and the browsing all offer ample opportunities to enjoy family time without spending a dollar! But if you plan on doing your produce shopping at Deterring (do it…your dollars will go a long way) plan to buy $20 worth of produce so you get free tickets to the Apple Blaster (and your kids will adore you!). U-pick pumpkins are $.19/lb and u-pick/bulk apples seemed to be around $.60-.80/lb. Overall, Deterring’s produce prices are some of the best we’ve seen anywhere in Lane County. ~~~~~~~~~ Pumpkin Carving at Red Wagon Creamery 55 W.
