We took a tour of Highland Farms today, and we can’t wait to go back! The farm was beautiful and clean when we pulled up, we could really tell the owner and employees were passionate about their vision. We were immediately greeted by our tour g...
uide, Dante, who welcomed us and let us get to stretch for a minute since we were early. We were slowly guided along the beautiful animals, grounds, and planned upcoming projects to accommodate more guests. Dante gave such an upbeat, friendly, and informative tour that we weren’t left with any questions by the end. We were able to pet, brush and feed some of the beautiful and sweet highland cows, see the stunning white peacocks, and love on some friendly, young goats. We were given space at a few points to enjoy the scenery by ourselves, which was lovely too. The animals, scenery, and guide were absolutely perfect, we can’t wait to go back soon!

We had the most wonderful stay in the cottage. Our 2 yr old daughter woke up every morning so excited to say good morning to the cows. The place was so wonderful and nice, so clean and had everything we needed. Even a pack and play, kids seatin...
g, and games. It’s such a beautiful property and one of our favorite parts was being able to order farm fresh food beforehand and they put it in our fridge ready for us for when we got there! It was so delicious, we got farm fresh eggs, bacon, ground beef, and pork tenderloin. It was truly memorable. At night we went for little walks around the farm with the lanterns it was so fun.

I was lucky enough to photograph a wedding at Highland Farms in October, and I was completely blown away. Tucked into the forest in the foothills of Mt. Hood, this venue truly feels like something out of a fairytale. As soon as you arrive, you’...
re welcomed by a cozy mountain-style lodge, a beautiful barn, and even a grazing area for their family of Highland cows, which adds so much charm to the property.
Highland Farms offers multiple on-site lodging options for you and your guests, along with thoughtful amenities like a sauna and hot tub for relaxing and unwinding. The ceremony space is stunning, featuring a stone patio, a peaceful pond, and towering evergreens that create such an intimate, natural atmosphere. The forest trails are lined with hazelnut shells instead of dirt, it’s a small touch that makes the entire experience feel elevated and intentional. The reception area, located beside the lodge, is another stone patio that’s perfect for an intimate gathering of around 50 guests. If you’re considering Highland Farms for your wedding, I can’t recommend it enough
