Stahlbush Island Farms is situated in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, one
of the most fertile and pristine agricultural regions in the world. The 25
to 40 mile wide and 120 mile long fertile river valley is bordered by rain-forested
mountain ranges and is abundant with diverse flora and fauna.
The climate of the Valley is relatively mild throughout the year, characterized
by cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers. The climatic conditions closely
resemble the Mediterranean climates, which occur in California, although Oregon's
winters are somewhat wetter and cooler. Growing seasons in the Willamette Valley
are long, and moisture is abundant during most of the year.
At Stahlbush Island Farms, each season of the year brings a distinct stage
in the continuing cycle of farm life. The farm thrives year round. Whether cover
cropping in the winter, planting seeds in the spring, taking part in community
events in the summer, or enjoying the rigors of the fall harvest, Stahlbush
embodies the vitality of this lush region.
