April showers may bring May flowers, and your local farmers have way more than that to offer! Now that spring has officially arrived, it's time to start thinking about getting outdoors and enjoying all that Oregon has to offer (and that's a lot!). Here's what's happening now:

On the Canby Farm Loop

• Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and Vineyards – Tulip Fest is running now through April 30. Come see four acres of tulips and daffodils -- almost 120 different varietals are featured! Not to be missed; open daily 9am-6pm, with special events on the weekends.
  

• Out in the Garden Nursery - April is the perfect time to work on expanding your garden for 2017, and Out in the Garden Nursery is open and happy to help. As a bonus, they have fantastic sales going on this month to get you going!

On the Farmlandia Farm Loop

• Bob's Red Mill & The Kitchen at Middleground Farm - Both of these fabulous establishments have some amazing cooking classes scheduled for April -- from "Tortilla 101" to a "Paella Party," you'll have plenty of themes to chose from!

Don't forget about all the great wineries on the Farm Loops that are opening up again for tastings and purchases. On the Canby Farm Loop, you can hit up King's Raven Winery, Villa Catalana Cellars, Christopher Bridge Wines and Forest Edge Vineyard. On the Molalla Country Farm Loop, visit Alexeli Vineyard & Winery and Wooden Shoe Vineyards. If you're in Farmlandia Farm Loop territory, be sure and stop in at Pete's Mountain Vineyard & Winery, twill cellars, Beckham Estate Vineyard and Terra Vina Wines.
