for 2013
Located in the scenic heart of Oregon's Hood River Valley, Rasmussen Farns has been welcoming visitors to our beautiful corner of the world for 68 years. We're one of the Northwest's most popular farm destinations.
We love special celebrations!
We start in the Spring and end November 11, as Winter approaches.
BLOSSOM FESTIVAL -- April 12th through the 28th. The Hood River Valley in Bloom! The blossoms don't all come out at the same time throughout the valley so you should have a good chance at catching some between these dates. Apples and Pears available from controlled atmosphere storage. We feature Oregon Products, recipes and Greenhouse Open House.
CHERRY CELEBRATION -- July 20 & 21. Cherry harvest should be at its peak with many varieties available. New varieties include Gibraltar, Chelan, Sandra Rose, as well as, Bing, Vann, Rainier and Stella -- all your favorites. We have recipes and samples to try, Oregon Cherry Products, and a sale in the Greenhouse.
VAN GOGH DAYS -- Aug 3 & 4. Sunflowers continuing through August. Celebrating 70 kinds of sunflowers – Perfect opportunity to paint, cut, take photos and enjoy the many colors of summer.
