Oregon farming began with Native Americans who gathered berries, nuts, and other wild foods from the forests and rivers. European settlers discovered that Oregon's mild, wet climate was perfect for growing many kinds of fruits and vegetables. The state became famous for berries, especially marionberries that were developed in Oregon. Oregon also grows more Christmas trees, hazelnuts, and hops than any other state.
Oregon has many different climates and soils from the wet coastal areas to the dry eastern deserts. The Willamette Valley has rich soil and mild, rainy weather perfect for berries, fruits, and nuts. The Columbia River Gorge has good conditions for growing pears and other tree fruits. Eastern Oregon is drier and better for wheat and cattle ranching.
Oregon berries are some of the best in the world, ready to pick from June through September depending on the type. You can pick marionberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries throughout the summer. Pears from the Hood River area are ready to pick in fall when they're sweet and juicy. Oregon also grows great apples, cherries, and hazelnuts that visitors can harvest.
Summer and early fall are the best times to visit Oregon farms when berries and tree fruits are ripe. The weather west of the mountains is usually mild and comfortable, though it can rain. Eastern Oregon is drier with hotter summers and colder winters. Many farms offer u-pick experiences in beautiful settings with views of mountains, forests, or rivers.
June-August for berries, August-September for pears
