I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There’s something about a visit to a local farm that’s good for the soul. The opportunity to experience nature up-close, from U-pick farms and flower fields to animal sanctuaries and working farms, is something we always jump at the chance to do! And there’s one farm in Wilsonville, Oregon, that’s about as wonderful and wholesome as it gets, offering folks a big, old slice of country life, complete with some of the animal kingdom’s most beguiling furry friends.
Located in Wilsonville, Oregon, about 20 minutes south of Portland, there is a pastoral paradise that welcomes all with open arms...
Frog Pond is well-known for its seasonal celebrations, which include a pumpkin patch and fall festival in September and October, and a holiday market and tree farm in November and December.
During the summer, guests are invited to come for a Walk About on the farm; a self-guided tour with the opportunity to meet some of the farm's 80 curious and captivating creatures.
In the spring, of course, farm babies take center stage, and you can see these new residents strut their stuff during the summer. There's something so beautiful and sweet about these new souls.
Folks today can be so removed from the natural world -- kids and grown-ups. But waiting just a quick drive from Oregon's busiest city, there is a warm and welcoming pastoral paradise where visitors can reconnect with the world's most winsome creatures: Frog Pond Farm!
Did you know about this adorable Wilsonville farm… or that you could get up-close with emus and camels here in Oregon? Frog Pond Farm really is one of the Beaver State’s most beguiling hidden gems; a perfect day trip the next time you’re craving time in nature!
