If you live outside of Portland, do you have a good variety of farms where you live and do they all have kid-friendly activities and areas like U-Pick, picnic areas, play areas, petting zoos, and camps? Let me know! I'd love to hear what other cities and states have, and I'm sure those who live in your area would love to know more family-friendly spots to visit as well!

thank you so much for the list! We are heading out this weekend to stock up on berries. I like to freeze them and have them all winter for the kids. Are they all organic farms?
that's a good question: I don't believe they are all 100% organic farms but I know they all have some organic produce.
we do the same with berries! although each year i have to remember to pick more berries since we always seem to run out in the fall!
