The long communal tables were a welcome sight - lots of space to meet up with lots of friends - as well as the tidy reading nooks and smaller tables for a more individualized experience. Upon arrival, there's a sign that says to check in at the counter for service - which I did and was promptly handed a menu and told to find a place to sit and she'd come find me to take my order. The place was not crowded by any means so I chose one location to sit, changed my mind and chose another location and then changed my mind and moved again before settling on one end of one of those long tables. So many seating choices!! The staff member got busy and didn't make it back to me for a bit longer than I thought she should have taken but when she eventually found me, I ordered one of their seasonal espresso drinks: a Harlequin Rex (white chocolate, dark chocolate & caramel), and a Maid Marion crepe (marionberry jam, cream cheese, crushed pistachios & honey). The crepe arrived well ahead of the espresso drink but I waited to take a bite of the crepe till they both were at the table because I wanted a pic of them together - you know, priorities and all. That crepe was absolutely delicious - the perfect combination of tastes! And that espresso drink - spot on! Chocolate and caramel - what could go wrong there? Absolutely nothing. On the day I was there, it seems a pop-up jewelry vendor was there as well (or maybe the jewelry is a permanent feature? I don't know.). There was no space at the counter to sign my debit card receipt so I used the seat of the stool next to the register area, which worked just fine, but maybe it would be possible to keep an area clear for conducting the business of paying, since table payment is not an option (little sign attached to the playing cards that indicated your table number said to go to the counter to settle up). Or perhaps hand the receipts attached to a small clipboard or hard surface of some kind to make signing easier. Just seemed a bit crowded and cluttered at the counter. Overall, I think they're a great addition to downtown Silverton and hope to go back again to try something else on their yummy-looking menu. After they're able to work out the kinks of being a new business (they've been open 4 months), I hope they'll be in Silverton for a long time. PS. For those of us who like to read menus online, check out the back-story of a business, or locate other business info online, their website is currently not functioning. I contacted them through their FB page and they responded quickly but the message was that they are too busy to work on their website. Hopefully, they'll be able to get a minute or two to at least post a "website under construction, please check back soon" message for those of us who like to cruise websites, or maybe take down the web address on their FB page so we don't click on it only to be disappointed that nothing exists.

The space is minimal and industrial which is what we liked. The plants provided by the venue bring the space to life so well. Honestly, you need minimal decorations for it to be wedding ready. Having the outdoor space for cocktail hour, food trucks, beer pong, etc. was incredible. We had about 175 guests, so we really enjoyed the flow and space for our guests to get fresh air if needed. The Castaway team was helpful, responsive, and so great to work with! Highly recommend for weddings, events, etc. Thank you Castaway team!

A Dream Wedding Venue with Amazing Owners!…read more We had our daughter's wedding at Redland Family Farm, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful or accommodating venue. From the start, Adelle and Tim were so patient and helpful, even with the many questions and requests we threw their way. They always responded with kindness and made the entire process so much easier for us. They went above and beyond on the wedding day--Adelle even helped turn simple cheesecloth into gorgeous curtains, creating a warm and romantic entryway for the bride and groom. The venue itself is stunning, with two separate suites for the bride and groom to get ready, a large parking lot for guests, onsite staff to assist throughout the day, and the most breathtaking oak tree and sunset views you could imagine. Adelle and Tim are such a wonderful couple to work with, and their property is truly a gem. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with caring, hands-on owners, Redland Family Farm is the perfect choice!

You can tell it's a family-run space, and that makes all the difference. We got married on a chilly summer solstice day with unexpected rain, and Tim was constantly stoking the fires to keep everyone warm and cozy. Even with the weather, there were so many beautiful, usable spaces for our guests to enjoy. The property is breathtaking in every direction, rain or shine! Adele and Tim were the kindest, most accommodating hosts. The whole day felt warm, welcoming, and so well supported. If you're looking for a venue that's as thoughtful as it is gorgeous, this is it. We are so grateful we chose Redland Family Farm - it was the best decision we made, and we would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

Like many first-tier B&Bs, the Adams House has charming rooms, polished hardwood floors, an…read moreexquisite outdoor garden and pagoda, and sumptuous breakfasts, along with evening snacks and silver tray coffee and tea service in the morning. It's a historic landmark house in a picturesque mid-Willamette Valley location East of Salem and within easy striking distance of the Cascade Mountains as well as many of Oregon's prime winery destinations. It's not even that far to the coast, for that matter, or to marvelous state parks like Silver Falls, one of Oregon's most popular for locals and outside visitors alike. The downtown is quaint, walkable, and classy, with excellent shopping, coffee, and dining out options (esp. the Silver Grille). And of course the owner, Nancy K., is approachable, animated, and articulate, making you feel smarter and more sophisticated simply by being in her presence. The rooms upstairs (there are 3) have distinctive flair and unique features: Sara Jane's room has a wonderful Victorian "fainting couch," which is comfortable enough to fall asleep on (trust me on this). Eleanor's room has an octagonal turret in the tiled bathroom which lets light pour in and reflect off the pale white walls and porcelain surfaces. If you haven't taken an actual reclining bath in a long while, this is your chance. But for all these amenities - and they are indeed impressive - the most remarkable feature of Adams House is the library and LP record collection, which Nancy has meticulously organized in one of the second floor rooms and made available for guest use. I spent several hours perusing the book shelves on my first visit, reading, browsing, and jotting down titles and authors of interest. It was like being in a bookstore. On my second visit, I ventured into the music collection, starting with a beautiful recording from 1955 of Glenn Gould's "Goldberg Variations" by J.S. Bach. Inspired by the experience, I went back to the shelves and located a recording from the 1980s by a Czech pianist of Beethoven's "Diabelli Variations." By the time I was done listening, breakfast was ready. What a nice way to start the morning, don't you think? Visiting Silverton and staying at Adams House is not so much "stepping back" in time as it is "stepping sideways" in time: moving horizontally away from the routines of your regular days and nights and experiencing, however briefly, an alternative universe: one in which music still plays on records, books still are written on paper, and tea is still served on silver in fine china. It's easy to appreciate - and hard to leave behind when you return to the road. I doubt that you will be disappointed by your initial visit. You'll likely return in the future, just to make sure that it wasn't just a dream, after all.
