Cindy’s family moved from Wisconsin to Oregon when she was 12 years old and she started working at Detering Orchards a short time later. She runs most of the operations around Detering’s fruit stand, including U-Pick sales. She loves to dance, watch football (Go Ducks!), cook, eat lobster and take walks. She is a deeply religious person and says about herself, “My belief in Jesus is most important to me”. Her favorite saying is “Always count your blessings”.

Juan is in charge of the field crew and making sure all produce gets planted on time and is properly cared for. He is usually seen driving a big red tractor. He works long days to ensure that we continue to have the top quality produce we are known for.

Abel works as Juan’s right-hand man. He is an extremely hard worker, and like Juan, is often seen driving a tractor as well. He assists in managing the field crew and makes sure that the stand has whatever produce they need to keep everything properly stocked & fresh.

John is who we turn to when we’ve got a problem that nobody else can fix. As a customer, you may see John operating Buster the mechanical bull, giving wagon rides in the fall, or if you forget to check in at the stand before entering the u-pick fields.
