U-pick farms offer inexpensive produce
By TOM VISOKY
Ofttw EmntM
In most places April showers bring May flowers But
in the Willamette Valley eight months of drizzle bring a
summer harvest of fruits, nuts, berries and veggies to
delight even the most morose masticator
And for people who can't afford to pay the high
supermarket prices, the Eugene-Springfield area offers
more than 40 U-pick- 'em farms where fresh produce can
be had for about half the store price
For example, U-pick cherries, which are currently in
season, range from 25 to 35 cents per pound for pie
cherries and Royal Annes and 35 to 45 cents per pound
for Lamberts and Bings Store prices for fresh cherries
start at 75 cents per pound
Besides the lower prices, U-pickers have the advan
tage of practicing their own quality control
You grade em while you pick 'em " says U-pick
farmer Joe Flynn
But Flynn who owns a 40-acre farm on Seavey Loop
Road says that only about 10 percent of his customers
pick fruit for immediate consumption Most of his fruit is
used for canning or making jam and pies, he says
Flynn says cherry season should end this week But
fear not — there still are many fruits and vegetables yet to
come
Peas, carrots, beets, onions, squash and pickling

cucumbers are just some of fhe vegetables now coming
into season
Also, peach season starts at the beginning of August
and continues through the middle of September Apple,
pear and plum season should start at the end of August,
and tomatoes, cucumbers and corn will be ready for
picking within a couple of weeks, Flynn says
According to Flynn, there is little variation in harvest
times from farm to farm
"This whole valley comes in about the same time,"
he says
In addition to the numerous U-pick fruit and vegeta
ble farms in the area, there also are a number of U-pick
strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and marionberry farms
Strawberry season ended three weeks ago, but the other
three berries still are growing strong
Prices for berries range from 40 cents per pound for
marionberries to 60-65 cents per pound for blueberries
and raspberries
Many of the local U-pick farms sell produce that
already has been picked for prices that are slightly higher
than U-pick produce Picked berries, for example aver
age about 20 cents more per pound than U-pick berries
However, U-pickers must provide their own containers
Most of the local U-pick tarms are located in the
River Road, Seavey Loop Road and Coburg Road areas
Those farther afield tend to be located in either Junction
City or east Springfield
To find the location of a nearby farm that offers a
particular fruit, vegetable or berry, check the classified
advertisements in the local newspaper

I Sprays combat scourges
Fruit and vegetable farms in the Wil
lamette Valley — like all farms — are
subject to invasions by numerous pests
and plagues Aphids, mites, worms, leaf
wilt and assorted fungi are |ust some of
the things that can wreak havoc in local
orchards and vegetable gardens
To combat these scourges most of
the local U-pick farmers use chemical
sprays, says farmer Joe Flynn But
Flynn adds that farmers don't spray for
all of the possible critters and blights
because it's too expensive
The sprays are so darn expensive
that farmers would go broke if they tried
to spray for everything ”
Farmers just spray for the most com
Oregon Dally Emerald
l
mon blights, or whatever new pest is
threatening at the moment, he says
Flynn says that farmers are required
by law to follow strict spray schedules
that disallow the application of certain
sprays for anywhere from one to 20
days before the harvest The length of
the grace period is determined by
either the toxicity or longevity of the
spray being used, and should allow
enough time for the effects of the spray
to wear off
Nevertheless, it is a good idea to
wash all fruits and vegetables after
picking to eliminate any spray residues
that may remain Simply wash the
produce in lightly soapy water and then
rinse it thoroughly
