Mt Hood Organic Farms

Established in 1904 at the base of Mt. Hood, Mt. Hood Organic Farms is a 200-acre working orchard estate in the Hood River Valley, about twenty minutes from Hood River and just over an hour from Portland. The farm was the first certified organic orchard in Oregon and is the largest Demeter-certified Biodynamic farm in the country, with nearly 100 varieties of heirloom and specialty apples and pears grown across gardens, forests, meadows, and ponds. Three Cascade volcanoes are visible from the property. The farm has hosted weddings for over two decades, welcoming up to 175 guests for events that move across a series of distinct outdoor spaces — including a rose garden arbor, a ceremony garden framed by Mt. Hood, and a pond-side cocktail area set in a two-acre meadow. Receptions are typically held in the Apple House, a converted 3,200-square-foot packing house lined with windows and views of Surveyors Ridge, where a custom-built bar and family-style, farm-to-table dinners are prepared by Cultivate Catering using fresh, seasonal, organic ingredients. Two historic buildings on the property — the Cottage and the 1904 Carriage House — serve as private getting-ready spaces for the wedding party. The farm has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Vogue, House and Garden, and Style Me Pretty, and was named Oregon Bride Magazine's Best Outdoor Garden Venue three times.
