As one of the last stops on our visit to northern Willamette Valley before heading northward, we checked out the
Smith Berry Barn outside of Hillsboro; it was clearly an epicenter of the region's culinary bounty. The roadside store sells
farm-fresh produce, jams, honey, and more—much of which is made using
fruit and vegetables grown onsite. Smith Berry Barn
also offers U Pick fruits, berries, and vegetables seasonally, and the
season usually runs June 1-October 1. In total, they grow more than 20 types of
berries and 25 varieties of apples, along with spatterings of other u-pick crops. Here are some photos to give you a taste
of the good country livin' at Smith Berry Barn in Willamette Valley, Oregon.
