We welcome you to Cordova Crest Farms, where you can stroll and sit among the many varieties of lavender and the statuesque oak trees and enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views of Yamhill County and the Coast Range, while the farm's llamas, alpacas, sheep, and Nigerian Dwarf Goats (babies, too!) graze in the foreground. This 20 acre farm is located in the hills overlooking the valley between McMinnville and Lincoln City . . . just a 30 minute drive to the Oregon Coast and a 10 minute drive to Spirit Mountain Casino on Hwy 18. Cordova Crest Farms is a lovely place to enjoy a bit of the country life. Cordova Crest Farms, established in 1996, is owned and operated by Aileen and Darrell Smith; we are continually working to bring to fruition our vision of a beautiful and harmonious destination that offers its visitors lavender fields, farm animals, and an extraordinary Oregon landscape. This year, several varieties of bamboo have been added to our selection of plants available for purchase. Bamboo has become increasingly popular in recent years, having proven itself to be an extremely versatile sustainable resource, with applications ranging from its elegant yet hardy role in the landscape to its contribution to the fight against global warming. Our farm will be open to welcome guests for the 2009 summer season on Sundays, from June 14th through the end of July, or by appointment. U-Pick lavender, plants (over 50 varieties of lavender and herbs), and many farm-produced items, including our signature lavender products made with our own lavender oil, will be available in our on-site farm store and on our Web site. This is the perfect place to bring a picnic lunch, enjoy a thirst quenching, tongue dazzling lavender lemonade, and see lavender distilling up close as we show how we are able produce a lovely variety of lavender oils. This is a great place to take in a beautiful summer’s day in Oregon! |
