Celebrate new beginnings and springtime bounty from flower festivals to Farmlandia
The Willamette Valley comes alive in the springtime, so why not start your visit in Wilsonville from the ground up? Much-loved local favorites from the Farmlandia Farm Loop open their doors to visitors in the spring months, including Tollen Farm, Frog Pond Farm and Fir Point Farms. Another can’t-miss stop is TMK Creamery in Canby, an award-winning dairy farm with cow milking experiences, self-guided tours and vodka made from cow’s milk.
March through April, the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm is exploding with color and abounding with visitors of the Tulip Festival. Featuring over 40 acres of tulips, there’s plenty of beauty for all to enjoy. What better way to celebrate the last frost than with a rainbow of farm fresh blooms? Visit mid-week to avoid throngs of flower fans on the weekends.

Admire the beauty and bounty of the Willamette Valley from above

Hood and the gentle, rolling hills of Oregon Wine Country from the basket of your balloon. Pairs well with tulip season!
