Newberg
This gem of a gift shop in downtown Newberg carries a great selection of cards, local pottery, art, jewelry, and other gifts in a sweet little house at College + 2nd Street, just a couple blocks down from our Cottage and Bungalow.
spots with a Local Focus in the Willamette Valley
Shops and restaurants that have an aggressive focus on local products and produce.
The Blue Goat
Amity
The sweetest little place in Amity – great for a delicious stop when you’re heading down to the Eola-Amity AVA wineries. If you’re a fan of goat art (as am I), you won’t want to miss it. Lunch served on weekends only.
Red Hills Market
Dundee
This is the place you will wish you had one of back home. Casual, delicious breakfast and lunches with the wine country farm feel that we love most about this area. Also a great spot to grab provisions for a winery lunch: local cheeses, charcuterie, breads, desserts, wine, cider and beer.
Third Street Books
McMinnville
The perfect little independent bookstore with lots of local reads, especially food/drink related, and a mix of used/vintage finds within the stacks. Great for gifts and for the littles.
McMinnville Farmer’s Market
McMinnville
Open May – Oct on Thursdays, with local produce, meat, cheese, flowers and dry goods.
Thistle
McMinnville
Equally good for the bar (Patrick mixes up classic + creative cocktails – add the bread + fat!) as it is for a date night-worthy dinner in the dining room. The duck is amazing.
Harvest Fresh
McMinnville
We do all our grocery shopping here at this convenient spot on Third Street, within walking distance to The Park House. Lots of organic and local produce, fresh meats, cheeses, and dry goods in the bulk bins. For a quick, short-wait lunch, grab a sandwich or salad from the deli eat at their outside tables.
Community Plate
McMinnville
Our favorite breakfast spot with a great location right on Third Street. Try the hash (and say yes when they ask if you’d like a mimosa).
