Holiday Time Is Upon Us: Support Your Local Farms!
What could be nicer than having the family gather around the holiday table with farm-fresh Oregon-grown meat and produce as a centerpiece? Order your turkey and beef from
Drizzlewood Farm, meat (including lamb!) and poultry from
SuDan Farm, and frozen berries, jams and syrups from
Schmid Family Farm. All are located on the
Molalla Country Farm Loop. And, of course, don't forget the Oregon wine!
When it comes to gifts, nothing is more appreciated then a handpicked local item--these aren't your average run-of-the-mill big box store gifts, you are supporting local farmers and putting a smile on someone's face at the same time. We call that a win-win. Here are some of our favorite ideas:
Thanksgiving Barrel Tastings & Open Houses on the Farm Loops
Relatives are in town and they've already fawned over (and drank) the Oregon wine you picked up for Thanksgiving weekend--now show them the real thing, straight from the source!
Many wineries on the Farm Loops open up their doors for extended hours on the holiday weekend--take advantage! Most will have a fee, please check their individual websites.
Find the perfect Christmas Tree at Merrywood Farm in this family forest setting. There are pony rides, a warm barn for hot cider, wreaths and, of course, Christmas Trees! They offer U-Cut, Pre-Cut or We-Cut options for picking up your favorite fir.
