This Charming Little Farm Just Might Be The Best Kept Secret In Oregon

There’s nothing like biting into a juicy peach or sampling an apple picked just hours earlier. Summer and fall is the time for fresh produce in Oregon, and luckily for us, we have many industrious farmers working hard to produce the best food in the country. Did you know that in some spots you can visit the farm directly and even pick your own produce? If you’re looking for a fun weekend activity, this is it!

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

Draper Girls Country Farm is located at 6200 Highway 35 in Mt. Hood/Parkdale. This picturesque farm has spectacular views of Mt. Hood.

The beautiful, 40-acre farm was founded in 1962 by Roman Draper. It's still a family affair where you can stop in to buy fresh produce, and even pick your own.

You'll love the farm animals, and in the spring you might even see some baby goats.

In June, you'll find tasty cherries hanging from the trees.

Strawberries are another farm favorite in early summer.

In late summer, the juicy peaches are ripe for picking.

Other delicious fresh fruit includes plums, asian pears and nectarines.

In the fall, it's all about apple picking.

The fresh apple cider is incredible - you've got to try it!

This farm is so charming that you might not want to leave. No worries...you can stay overnight!

This adorable cottage sleeps up to eight guests.

It has four bedrooms and two baths and is comfy-cozy. What better place for a fun weekend retreat?

Visit the farm from 10 AM to 6 PM daily until November.
