Enjoy Stunning Views Of Mount Hood While You Visit This Lavender U-Pick Farm In Oregon

Oregon is a place of divine inspiration: a wonderland of spectacular scenic beauty and extraordinary natural wonders. Oregonians, too, are an inspired group, with a persevering pioneer spirit that's truly inspiring. In Eagle Creek, Oregon, there's a lavender farm that truly embodies everything that's beautiful about The Beaver State. Hope Lavender Farm is a small U-pick farm in Oregon that offers some downright transcendent views of Mount Hood -- and an even more affecting story.

Hope Lavender Farm is a family-run lavender farm nestled in Eagle Creek, Oregon.

Eagle Creek is a pastoral region that rests in the shadow of majestic Mount Hood, which you can see from Hope Lavender Farm's U-pick fields.

The farm itself could not be more beautiful.

This small lavender farm opens its fragrant fields every June and July for U-pick. It is free to enter and no ticketing is required for entry.

A perfect activity for families, visiting this Oregon farm during its summer bloom is a delightful experience.

You'll definitely want to come and cut a bundle to take back home.

However, the story of how this farm came to be is even more beautiful than its flowers.

In 2013, Oregonians Dave and Nancy Lowe were looking for ways to build a community for their daughter, Whitney Hope.

Originally, they wanted to create a farm workshop where adults with developmental disabilities could work in an independent environment. Shortly after coming up with the concept of a lavender farm, their plan shifted, and their program was never launched.

When you're a parent, you don't let anything stand in the way of helping your children, and for Whitney Hope, the Lowes continued to develop the farm.

So the couple forged ahead, starting a small lavender farm with the help of family and friends.

Despite numerous roadblocks, Hope Lavender Farm officially opened to the public in 2015.

The farm, of course, is named after the Lowe's daughter. It is a beautiful tribute to the audacity of hope.

In the years since, this winsome farm has become a place that inspires everyone who visits.

There have been proposals here, and even a wedding.

There is new life here, happening each spring when the lavender fields begin to bloom.

Basking in the glory of majestic Mount Hood, Hope Lavender Farm is a place of inspiration and miracles (and, of course, brilliant lavender blooms).

Hope Lavender Farm is a beautiful place in Oregon that you really must experience. The 2021 lavender U-pick runs weekends from June 12 - July 4, and you can sign up for a time slot on their website.

The Hood River Valley is home to some of Oregon's most picturesque farms. Packer Orchards is another small farm that has U-pick orchards and a delightful in-house bakery that serves marionberry cinnamon rolls!
