The owners, Jeff and Elise, love to personally take small groups on free guided tours through the farm to talk about the ins and outs of herb farming. Depending on what time of year you visit, you’ll see the nursery, fields in flower, and / or harvesting. Pair the goodies you’ve picked up along the trail with house- made charcuterie and cheese at Wooldridge Creek Vineyard and Creamery. Plan for a beautiful lunch with a picnic on the grass, sipping the newest vintage, and taking in stunning views of the verdant valley. After lunch, take a breather by exploring the many shops, or nearby hiking trails along the Jacksonville Woodlands. Parched? Head across the street to the beautiful Troon Vineyard to enjoy a sampling of biodynamic wines, crafted just for you. Dedicated to regenerative agriculture, this winery hosts some of the oldest vines in the Rogue Valley and is sure to please your palate. What a day! As you make your way toward Grants Pass, pop into Pennington Farms to sample hand- crafted jams and pick up some of their fresh, artisan baked goods. End your day with an award-winning selection of deserts at Super Natural Chocolate Co. Choose from a variety of raw confections or hot (and cold) chocolate drinks, and feel your taste buds thanking you for a wonderful day supporting local farmers, and trying delectable foods. Family Farms – Medford To Grants Pass Is there a better way to start the day than with a fresh biscuit the size of your face? Buttercloud Bakery & Café is a local Medford favorite where the scratch baked goods are seemingly endless. Then it’s off to Fry Family Farm. At the farm store, you can find a wide variety of organic produce, potted plants, fresh cut flowers and gifts for the folks back home.
