A Willamette Valley u-pick just north of Eugene with a confirmed price ($1.12/lb for Empire and Prime Red) and a fall 'Apple Daze' event lineup, though no firm 2026 opening or closing date is posted.
$1.12/lb for Empire and Prime Red apples, as posted on the farm's own site.
Detering Orchards sits just north of Eugene in Harrisburg, part of the Willamette Valley cluster rather than the more heavily trafficked Hood River Fruit Loop. What sets this record apart from many of its Oregon neighbors is a genuinely confirmed price — $1.12 per pound for both Empire and Prime Red apples — pulled directly from the farm’s own site, plus a named fall event, “Apple Daze,” that layers wagon rides, a corn maze, and live music onto the regular picking season. The one real gap is timing: no firm 2026 opening or closing date is posted anywhere the record draws from.
Among the Oregon orchards in this database, exact per-pound pricing tied to a specific 2026 read of the farm’s own site is uncommon — many records leave price_from blank entirely. Detering’s is confirmed: $1.12/lb for Empire and Prime Red apples, read directly off deteringorchards.com. That’s useful for budgeting a visit, and it’s also worth noting the pricing isn’t a single farm-wide flat rate lumped across all fruit — it’s named specifically to these two apple varieties, suggesting other fruit on the property (if any) may be priced separately.
Empire and Prime Red are the only two apples named in the record. Empire is a widely grown, all-purpose apple that tends to ripen in the mid-to-late season window; Prime Red isn’t one of the varieties this record’s classification guide covers, so no ripening-window claim is made about it here beyond what’s stated — it’s simply priced identically to Empire at $1.12/lb. If you’re hoping for an early-season apple like a Gala or a distinctly late one, the record doesn’t confirm either variety fits that description, so treat both as a general fall-season offering rather than a specific early or late pick.
The record lists 9am to 5pm daily, with one specific caveat: u-pick itself closes an hour earlier than the rest of the farm. That means if you’re planning to arrive close to closing time specifically to pick apples, plan to be there by 4pm rather than 5pm — the extra hour applies to the fruit stand or other operations, not to picking in the field.
Beyond straightforward per-pound picking, the record’s tags include “Apple Daze” as a named fall event, and the activities list backs that up with wagon rides, a corn maze, a walking pumpkin patch, and live music. That combination suggests Detering runs specific weekends during the season with a fuller festival feel, layered on top of what’s presumably regular daily u-pick access the rest of the time. No specific 2026 dates for Apple Daze weekends are in the record, so if the event itself (rather than just picking apples) is the draw, a phone call to 541-995-6341 is the way to pin down when it’s happening.
The main gap here is timing: no explicit 2026 season-start or season-end date was posted on the pages read. That’s consistent with a lot of orchards at this stage of the season, but it does mean you shouldn’t lock in travel dates around anything more specific than “sometime in the fall” until you’ve confirmed with the farm directly.
The address on file is 30946 Wyatt Dr, Harrisburg, OR 97446, in Linn County. The listed coordinates are an approximate estimate for that address rather than an individually geocoded point. Being north of Eugene rather than in the Hood River Valley or Portland Metro area, this is a genuinely different regional option if those more clustered areas feel crowded during peak season.
Detering Orchards offers something relatively rare in this dataset — a confirmed, variety-specific price straight from the farm’s own site — plus a named fall event with real family appeal. The missing piece is a firm 2026 date range, so a call to 541-995-6341 before you drive out is the sensible way to lock in both when the orchard is open and when Apple Daze itself is scheduled.
Not stated with a specific 2026 date. The farm runs an 'Apple Daze' fall weekend event alongside its regular u-pick season, but no exact 2026 dates for either were posted where the record was built.
You need a firm 2026 start or end date locked in before booking travel — neither is posted.
