Portland enjoys mild, rainy winters around 40°F and warm, dry summers at 81°F. The Willamette Valley's volcanic soil is Oregon's agricultural treasure, supporting diverse crops. With 144 rainy days keeping fields green and a growing season from April through October, the area produces exceptional berries, vegetables, and wine grapes.
Oregon Trail pioneers settled the Willamette Valley for its rich farmland. The area became famous for berries, hops, and hazelnuts. Portland's food culture emerged from this agricultural abundance. Today's farms embody Portland's values with organic methods, permaculture designs, and CSA programs supporting the city's farm-to-fork restaurants.
Strawberry season begins in June at the Rose Festival. July brings marionberries, Oregon's official berry, along with blueberries and raspberries. August offers sweet corn and tomatoes, while September means apple and pear picking. October features pumpkins and hazelnuts. Many farms grow unusual varieties like purple cauliflower and watermelon radishes popular at farmers markets.
Farms cluster on Sauvie Island (20 minutes via Highway 30) and throughout the Willamette Valley (30-60 minutes via I-5 or Highway 99). Bike-friendly routes reach some farms. July through September offers perfect weather. October can be rainy but atmospheric. Many farms have food carts, live music, and accept Portland's culture of bringing dogs. Some offer evening picking and farm dinners.
