Oregon has a rich, deep history of farming, supported by a moderate climate, excellent soil and abundant water.
Christmas trees, Redland, OR
The quantity and quality of our natural resources help Oregon remain one of the top producing states for greenhouse and nursery products, Christmas trees, grass seed, peppermint, blackberries and filberts.
Oregon farmers provide hundreds of other crops, including wheat, potatoes, pears, onions, snap beans and sweet corn.
Oregon wines are nationally known for their excellence, especially the chardonnay and pinot noir from Yamhill and Washington counties.

We encourage you to read the informative material provided by the Oregon Department of Agriculture.
Clackamas County agriculture
Agricultural enterprises have been a mainstay of our community since the mid-1800s. The Willamette Valley ecoregion hosts the majority of Oregon’s population, bringing increasing pressure to convert farmland to other uses.
If you are farming land in Clackamas County, or if you are interested in doing so, a “must have” resource is OSU Extension.
