Farm Loops Guide |
Mt. Hood Territory is bursting with amazing farms offering soul-nourishing experiences, and we are very proud of that. And we aren't exaggerating when we categorize it as "bursting" since three of the four official Oregon Farm Loops are located within The Territory. These loops are ideal guides to farms you might normally miss, but are actually closer than you think to places you already know and love. From wines to chocolate to cheese to animals to u-pick produce, there is something wonderful waiting for you on the farm.
