Draper Farms is the roadside farmstand of my dreams! Now, they are not found along a major road or…read morehighway, so it's no wonder it took me so long to discover them, but if you live in McMinnville or thereabouts, they are worth a couple minutes drive out into the "country" part of McMinnville. I have taken to stopping here first on my weekly shopping trips. I try to purchase the majority of my produce at Draper Farms, then supplement as needed at the standard grocery store. I live pretty rurally, so I generally don't make it into town for the Thursday farmer's market like I wish I could. Draper Farms is the perfect alternative that I can hit Saturday, Sunday, or any day of the week that is convenient. Offerings cycle with the seasons, but they are growing lots of great stuff here, and there is always an excellent variety of options. A few of my favorites are their strawberries, radishes, corn, leeks, collards, and herbs. No matter the time of year they will have some sort of lettuce, cabbage, spinach, or other greens. I recently grabbed some divine kiwi berries, finished in a single day, and have dreamed of them since. For autumn, they offer an array of pumpkin varieties for 30 cents a pound which is the least I've seen anywhere, and much prettier than what you can find at a grocery store. They also had fall décor, including stunning glass gem corn. There is even a separate fresh cut flower stand! They accept cash, check or Venmo (the latter is such an appreciated option, yay!). They have some bags available, though you should bring your own if you can. Prices are generally less than the grocery store, and for much higher quality produce! There is a good amount of parking. They also offer a CSA.

I happened upon Ben's while looking for a place to buy some locally raised flowers on the way to…read morevisit my mother. After seeing a sign on the main road, I followed it to a lighted reader board out in front of an immaculate home and farm, about a quarter mile west of Highway 47. I was right away struck by how pretty and well-maintained the grounds and stand area were. The proprietors and 2 friendly dogs greeted me. My sunflowers were personally cut from a large garden near the stand, while I browsed for corn and cucumbers that looked too delicious to pass up. It was a very hot day, and she took extra care to choose individual flowers that would last a while in the weather. The price was extremely reasonable, 6 stems for $2.50. Their website notes that the young brother and sister owners are 4th generation farmers of the land, descended from the orignal Dutch farming community of Verboort. Neat! They grow heirloom seeds, tomatoes, corn, pumpkins, peppers, string beans, onions, carrots, gourds and squash, in addition to cukes, corn and fantastic sunflowers. Ben's is open during August, September and October from noon to dusk (sixish), and, if they happen not to be there, a sign on the counter says they offer self service on the honor system. A nice touch--this does not happen in Portland! I've already recommended Ben's to a couple of people in Forest Grove. I'm happy to support this sustainable, community-oriented business and will make a point to go back whenever I'm in the area.

They are taking precautions for COVID-19, so you cannot bring your own containers for U-pick. Instead, you pre-pay for a container they provide (I.e. quart, 1/2 flat), and then you fill it and leave (no weighing). 1/2 flat was $12.50 for raspberries, blueberries, and boysenberries. They ask everyone stay at least 6' apart. It has never been too crowded, so it is rather easy to maintain your distance and pick where you please. The fruit is delicious, and right now there are plenty of raspberries and blueberries!

This will be my second year with Love Farm Organics doing the CSA. I really have nothing but…read morepositive to say about it. I do a partial share, which is more than enough for my husband and I. It has saved us a tremendous amount on our grocery bill, to the point we don't go to the grocery store nearly as often as we used to. I was even able to freeze much of it, and able to use it over the course of the winter. We pick up our CSA near our home at a market style pickup - we get to pick our own produce out of the bins, make choices between certain vegetables, and even put unwanted produce in a trade bin for others or to trade. The quality is excellent, and so much better than anything you could get at a grocery store. I love that they send out a newsletter with the upcoming produce you will get - it gives you time to meal plan and buy ingredients for your upcoming share! If you're looking for a CSA in the Portland area, I can't recommend Love Farm Organics enough - I am actually finishing a winter CSA with another organic farm and it came nowhere near the quality of this, and I'm really looking forward to it starting up again soon!

They're a 4th-generation family farm and they're really lovely people. Their produce is excellent quality, they have pick-up spots all over the area and their site has lots of resources for nutritional info and recipes on preparing the things they grow. They've introduced me to things I've never seen and really widened my palate. Their produce is organic so it isn't polluted with poisonous pesticides and doesn't poison the soil or kill pollinators like bees and butterfiles, it's healthy and delicious and actually comes out to cost less than produce at the store by my house AND I know I'm supporting a local family farm and helping keep it there. You just really can't beat an organic family farm CSA membership and everyone should try one! They also offer some work exchange and take SNAP to make their produce available to as many people as possible.

Once you walk in to its exterior, seemed like a nursery, but there's a wide assortment of fresh veggies, fruits and even a refrigerated section with organic eggs. There is a store packed with novelties, from dishes to jams, candles, local handmade goods, jewelry. You can pick up just about anything here and there is even an ice cream area in the back. The most fun and exciting part was enjoying picking out your own berries and grapes. You are instructed to get your own bucket which is weighed when you are done. Depending on the season, there are apples and pears and Chiles, tomatoes, even flowers! This place is just incredible and encourage you all check it out

I had to pry her away from electronics and muscle her into the car. No u pick today, her arm is splinted. We grabbed a couple cartons of Hood berries and some jam, a strawberry lemonade, and a strawberry scented candle and took some pictures. It is dead on beautiful out here. A perfect weather day didnt hurt. The food that dressed up older people ( im guessing they came directly from church) were eating (strawberry laden belgian waffle with whip, spinach salad with berries, yummy panini? Oh my!They have good stuff to eat) looked delicious. We are coming back to eat lunch and u pick soon. Princess ate strawberries steadily from Unger farms to my moms. " Mom why are these so easy to bite into and so juicy?" Her mood turned around, yay for strawberries and sunshine! "Because theyre ripe, baby." "We have been missing out!!" Yep. We are totally good at raspberry season but now we have to add strawberries to our agenda. Sweet!! Go. You wont be sorry. Please leave some berries for us though, ok? Only five berries made it home.

We picked blueberries, which is a short walk away from the cafe/store area. The cafe/store had some already-picked berries for sale, as well as some packaged goods one would expect to find at a farm store. No fresh veggies though, but that could just be timing/season. The cafe took awhile to make one drink (just one blender?) and wasn't really WOWd by their service (they couldn't remember if we got one of our other drinks already) but other than that, I think Unger farms is worth another visit just to pick fruit if you're into that.

Growers Outlet is one of those places that seems much bigger inside than it looks from the street…read more In addition to the expected produce selection, they have house branded jarred products and things like a surprisingly large variety of bagged egg noodles, or flavored corn nuts. Unlike supermarket checkouts designed to push impulse purchases, Growers Outlet has surprises in every corner. They don't sell meat, but we usually end up with multiple items that were not on our shopping list. There are a couple of times a year, when we want strawberries for canning, or a tree for Christmasing, when no place else will do. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are many other Portlanders that have their own times of year when they simply have to come here.

The farm store has a great selection and this year I bought apples for apple pie and they were perfect! One thing to note is that the donuts come with way more than we were expecting. I ate all of them but next time I might consider splitting it with a friend. I don't have kids but this place has a bunch of huge and super unique structures for kids to run around on including a giant structure of tires (looks safe) and tractors and stuff for them to run around on. Next time I have my niece's I'll definitely be bringing them here. The staff is always super friendly and helpful here and they have tons of parking. We are so lucky in Beaverton to have a place like this just 10 minutes down the road where it feels like you're hours outside the city. Everyone should stop by and support this local business!
