Parking
We have a large gravel parking lot that is easily accessed by the Cordon Road entrance. If you are planning to attend the HarvestFest we highly encourage guests to park in our gravel parking lot to save parking spaces in the Market Parking lot for those who are only planning on shopping inside the Market. This is also where field trips can park on weekdays. Please carpool it saves parking spaces, and its more fun!
We do have limited parking in our gravel parking lot. Sometimes on the busy weekends this parking lot gets full. The busiest weekends this year will most likely be the 10th & 11th, and the 17th & 18th (but this can vary depending on weather).
This year on weekends in October we will have overflow parking at Valley Inquiry Charter School with a shuttle bus that will charter people from the school to E.Z. Orchards. The weekend dates where overflow parking and the shuttle bus are available are: October 10th, 11th, 18th, 24th, and 25th. NO SHUTTLE or PARKING will be available at Valley Inquiry on Saturday, October 17th. The shuttle bus will make trips every 15-20 minutes. The final bus from E.Z. Orchards back to Valley Inquiry is 5:15pm. There will be no other options for transportation after 5:15pm.
Valley Inquiry Charter School 5774 Hazelgreen Rd. NE, Salem, OR 97305.
There are no Portable Restrooms available at Valley Inquiry. We suggest dropping off anyone who needs the restroom immediately at E.Z. Orchards. If you use the overflow parking and shuttle to E.Z. Orchards and buy large pumpkins. At checkout let one of our team members know you will need to “coat check” your pumpkins. A team member will get you a number, a matching number will be waiting with your pumpkins. When you come back with your vehicle go to the loading parking spots next to the exit tent. Hand them your “coat check” number and they will bring your wheelbarrow out for you to load into your car.
As mentioned before we DO NOT have shuttle buses or overflow parking available on Saturday, October 17th. As this is the only day this service is not available, if our main parking lot get’s full we will have to close off parking and entry into the HarvestFest. A lot of the times when the parking lot closes it is in the early afternoon around 1:00-3:00pm. There is absolutely NO ROADSIDE PARKING allowed on Hazelgreen and Cordon road. There are signs from the county up on the side of the road that state that parking on those streets is not allowed, and you could get ticketed if you park on the side of the road. So, if you are planning ahead with family. Know that there is a chance that on Saturday October 17th our parking will be full. If the parking lot is full on the 17th and we have to close off parking, we will also close off admission into the HarvestFest until the parking lot opens up again.
We want everyone to have a good time when they are visiting, and we know that parking can be one of those things that puts you in a negative mood before you even enter into the HarvestFest. We want everyone to have a positive experience when visiting the HarvestFest. These rules might seem like a lot, but they are time and true tested and work best for our business.
Horse Rides
On select weekend days we offer horse rides through local 4-h groups, horse clubs, etc. This gives our guests the chance to have positive horse interactions while the horse groups are able to fundraise. The horse rides are only available for children. Ages will vary from group to group on age requirements. Normally only ages 3-14 are able to do horse rides.
We do not currently have a horse ride schedule, but we will post the 2026 horse ride schedule. So, that people know what specific weekends horse rides are available on.
Field Trips
Field Trips are open for 2025. Please follow the link here to go to our fieldtrip page and learn more about what we offer and how to book your field trip!
Pets
Unfortunately, pets are not allowed (even on a leash) at our HarvestFest. This requirement from the USDA is because our facility is an actively-producing farm & classified as a food establishment. Only service animals will be allowed to enter our gates. See this flyer for information on what the Dept. of Justice & ADA qualifies as a service animal. (At this time, emotional support/therapy animals do not qualify and cannot enter the HarvestFest).
Food
On weekends only we have hot food available for purchase on weekends during HarvestFest. We have a donut truck selling our freshly made apple cider donuts out in the HarvestFest area. Along with food from Mt. Angel Sausage Company, Caballeros Tacos, and Cotton Candy. Outside food is not allowed in the HarvestFest on weekends. (Field trips that eat lunch at the HarvestFest on weekdays are allowed). Please call with any questions about food. 503-393-1506.
Groups
We are able to accept large groups, birthday parties, company outings, church groups, etc. with advanced scheduling with the E.Z. Orchards team. Groups like this with 15 or more people must call ahead to reserve a time and date as a group. We are only able to accept so many groups per day, and some dates are unavailable. Outside food is not allowed. Groups are required to call ahead and speak with our staff, if a group has not called ahead and shows up unannounced on the day of. We cannot guarantee we will be able to accommodate them. You can contact our team at 503-393-1506. (This only applies to large groups).
