You can grow just about anything in the fertile Willamette Valley, and the proof of that is stocking the shelves at our local farm stands, farm stores, and farmers markets all along the Mid-Willamette Valley Food Trail.
One great way to enjoy a taste of Mid-Willamette is by picking up a few goodies from our local producers. You can take some fresh treats home with you for gifts, or just for yourself (we won't tell). Browse seasonal fruits and vegetables, breads and other baked goods, meats and dairy items, and even handcrafted gifts made by local artisans.
There are four wonderful farmstands along the Food Trail, and as a bonus, we also included a quick list of the five different farmers markets on the Trail!
Gathering Together Farm's farm stand offers a variety of goods including produce, pastries, Community Cow beef, free-range eggs, Sweet Creek Foods fruit spreads and sauces, and more. Everything they sell comes from either their farm or from other local producers.
Gathering Together Farm is located at 25159 Grange Hall Road in Philomath (map). The farm stand is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.
