Oregon family farm vacations make for a simple yet fun holiday. No crowds or long lines. Just a relaxed outdoor atmosphere that can really bring the family together for some good times.
Here’s one idea to try. The Clear Creek Farm Bed and Breakfast is a turn-of-the-century farmhouse situated in the Hells Canyon area. You’ll stay in rustic cabins amid ponds, orchards and gardens.
There is plenty to do on the 160 acres. Explore the surrounding Wallowa Mountains by horse or llama. Enjoy the wildlife and wildflowers. The gardens and orchards are great places to walk or just unwind in a chair.
Another vacation idea for Oregon family farm vacations is the Bar M Ranch. Located 30 miles east of Pendleton, Oregon this 3,000 acre guest ranch is perfect for the kids year round. Everyone will enjoy the adventure of the weekly overnight camp-out where you sleep out under the stars, BBQ steaks, and tell stories around the campfire.
You can ride one of the 40 horses and enjoy the pine, fir and cottonwood trees. Kids 6 years and up are encouraged to brush and curry their own horse and learn about saddling them up. With riding instruction they can learn to trot or canter around the barrels and the poles.
The third Oregon family farm vacations idea is Historic Hanley Farm in Central Point. During the summer the Southern Oregon Historical Society holds special theme weekends specializing in Native American life, archaeology, 19th & 20th century farm demonstrations, wagon rides, costumed interpreters and more.
There are trails to explore, family picnic areas, various hands-on activities, self-guided barn and house tours, costumed interpreters and more. This 37 acre historic site boasts prehistoric campsites, original buildings, natural landscaping, lush historical gardens and agricultural fields.
Oregon family farm vacations can be a rich and rewarding experience. I hope that this vacation idea has given you something to think about and maybe you will try something new as a result.
