We got to pet the 2 miniature horses which was my favorite part. The kids had a blast petting and playing with the goats. They are all so friendly and have loving personalities. I could have stayed all day. The happy come straight up to you and asked to be brushed and sit in your lap. Then you get to let the big huge pigs and feed the male goats. Lastly we got to feed the piglets. The property is well maintained and all the animals are loved and clearly happy. I would 100% recommend and will do it again. We all had a really fun time!

We met Farmer John when we stopped here once during the Fall to visit the Pumpkin Patch…read more Unfortunately, they were not ready yet but he was so kind to give us a private tour and showed us where the pumpkins patch is and let us walk around the farm grounds. He also sells at the Camas Farmer's Market and we always try to support them when we can. You can find special events during the holidays - and the Hayride is definitely a hit with all the toddlers! We just came here for a hosted Easter Egg Hunt last week and they create a safe and fun environment for the local families! Thank you for being our neighborhood farm!

We had such high hopes for this summer camp and looked forward to it for over a month. Yes the…read moreexperience being on a farm was good for our kids but the owner, Stephanie was a nightmare. The way in which she spoke to my kids, her teenage staff members and me as a parent was absolutely appalling to say the least. Her attitude in person and via email was not professional AT ALL and I was disgusted by her behavior. I feel bad for her staff members who have to deal with that every day. I will not be recommending this camp to anyone and my kids will not be enrolling again. It's too bad it ended up this way, we spent a lot of money for my kids to be picked up crying everyday because of her.

A friend told me about Bates Lavender Farm, which I had never heard of, surprisingly, since I'm in the Gorge all the time. Located in Corbett, it's just 30 minutes from Portland and a breathtaking ride. On a bright blue sky day, the purple lavender and surrounding lush green forest, makes for a picture perfect afternoon. The scent is intoxicating, and the hum of the bees doing their pollinating, provides a zen like background buzz. As most of these farms do, Bates sells products made from lavender. They have the largest assortment of products of any farm I visited thus far. They have soaps, essential oils, hand cream, scented room spritzers, lip balm, bath oil, sachets, a grinder of lavender infused salt (get this) and honey, too! The variety of soaps is both creative and impressive. Not just the requisite lavender, they offer lavender lemon, rosemary lavender (fabulous), lilac lavender, lavender-aloe-avocado, rose lavender, mountain mint, citrus, vanilla lavender, and my favorite, lemongrass basil. The spritz comes in similar fragrances. These make wonderful gifts for teachers, friends, hostess gifts - or for yourself! The owners are lovely, the fields beautiful, and you can make a day of it by stopping at The Women's Forum to take in the best view of Crown Point and the magnificent Columbia River. Continue up to Larch Mountain. Go chase the waterfalls along the Old Historic Highway . Options are endless. Just go! Check website for dates.
