> We had a great stay at Elizabeth's farm! It was located in a quiet part of Salem very close to Minto Brown Island park. We brought our bikes and biked through the park as well as out past the farm along the Willamette river. We enjoyed strolling through the gardens and checking out the progress of all the veggies, as well as eating the ripe blackberries on site! Would recommend as a getaway. Convenient to get to as well as get back into Salem for any needs.

> Elizabeth is so great and the Farm was really simply amazing to stay at. If anyone is looking to fully experience agrotourism this is the place to do it! We were lucky enough to stay here during the infamous Solar Eclipse of 2017 and saw it in it's totality! We strolled around the farm and were able to pick peppers, berries, and tomatoes, and there are so many other fruits and vegetables and flower grown here to tour through. The farm has it's own food truck too which is absolutely amazing- the fresh smoothies and original dishes were so yummy and well made. Elizabeth and her family are figuri…

> Had an awesome time camping here for the eclipse. The farm is beautiful, and everyone there is super friendly. It was nice to be able to buy produce and prepared food at the farm stand. It was also really fun to be able to pick some of our own food, which made this a unique experience. The outdoor shower is really cool, though it did feel a little exposed to the campsite behind. It was just a 10 minute drive or so to downtown Salem, which was also convenient. Would definitely come again!

> The Organic Farm experience was ideal for living amongst a working organic farm. They also had a wonderful food cart, preparing food from the garden.
