Find farm stands & u-picks with Oregon’s Bounty
Use a smartphone to easily find farm stands, u-pick fields, and on-farm events with Oregon’s Bounty at www.OregonFB.org.
”Everyone knows where their local farmers market is. But what about roadside farm stands, u-pick fields, and on-farm events out in rural areas? That’s where Oregon’s Bounty comes in,” said Anne Marie Moss, Oregon Farm Bureau communications director. Each of the farms listed in Oregon’s Bounty are owned and operated by Farm Bureau members.
Visitors can use keyword searches for specific agriculture products – such as blueberries, cucumbers, honey, or eggs – and/or search for farms within a specific region of the state. Visitors can also do a keyword search for ”u-pick” or ”events” to find farms that offer those activities.
