Southern Oregon has largely been defined by it's agricultural breadth and depth. Starting in the late 1880's with Harry & David orchards growing Riveria Pears and now in the twentieth century growing just about anything a chef or consumer could want. From grape vines to watermelon radishes, Southern Oregon and The Rogue Valley are an agricultural Mecca.

The oldest grape vines, planted in the mid-1970s, are one of the earliest grape plantings still in production in the Rogue Valley. The combination of mature vines, a south facing aspect, warm days, and cool evenings is ideal for producing elegant, sophisticated red wines, which is poured and sold at the Farm Stand/Tasting Room. The vineyard is approximately five acres of Bordeaux varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec.

No chemicals or pesticides are used in their fields and the products are as natural as possible. The lavender is fed with Epsom salts in the spring and fall but by-and-large lavender seems to do well left to its own devices. They distill their own lavender. It’s a slow process and with a small still it takes hours for each run. To clear the barn at the end of the season takes months.
