Hentze Farm Cherry Festival

Front entrance to the quaint farm store at Hentze's Farm.

I attended the Hentze Farm Cherry Festival with the Lane County Extension Service Master Food Preservers last month. We had an excellent time serving up cherry pie filling with ice cream and doing demos for making the pie filling and cherry vinegar. Hentze’s farm is on the Willamette river in Junction City and is obviously a well loved location judging by the turnout. The farm is well cared for as well with many lovely flower plantings and a row of clean and well oiled farm machinery folks to view on the way into the farm.

Wonderful fresh produce.

Apricots!

All the well kept tractors on display.

Cookin' up the Chix Barbeque next to the barn.

All in all, a good day was had by everyone. Looking forward to next year.

Take Care

Daniel
