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.
If fall is your seasonal spirit animal, we have an apple orchard that you’ll definitely want to check out. In Hillsboro, the folks at Oregon Heritage Farms are busy harvesting this year’s bounty. Honeycrisp, Gala, Gravenstein… right now, the fields at this family-run farm are flush with fresh, fragrant apples. Come and pick up a bushel of freshly harvested apples, and enjoy a homemade apple cider donut and slushie. Mingle with friendly farm animals, and pick up a pumpkin for your front porch. Now through November, Oregon Heritage Farms has opened its (market barn) doors for a celebration of all things apples!
Oregon Heritage Farms is a fourth-generation, family-run farm in Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley.
It was founded in the early 1980s by father and son duo Phil and Robert McLennan.
Oregon Heritage Farms is actually spread out across four different plots of land. The market (which is open to visitors) resides in an old milking parlor.
Each year beginning in August, Oregon Heritage Farms opens up its market for apple festival season. In the past, the apple festival has featured games, hay rides, apple demos and tastings, and live entertainment.
For starters, the farm is still harvesting some of the best apples in all of Oregon (and the PNW, for that matter), available for purchase in the market store.
And... Happy Hour is back! Every day from 3-5 p.m., guests are invited to visit and get a half dozen apple cider donuts *and* an apple cider slushie for $5! Now that's a next-level fall happy hour!
First, Oregon Heritage Farm has a bounty of apples, and all autumn long, they are celebrating this iconic fall fruit. And second, and most importantly, Oregon Heritage Farms is a beautiful, fun, and wholly delightful day trip destination in the Beaver State.
