# Rogue Valley Food Trail

### YOUR GUIDE TO FAMILY FARMS, HEALTHY FOOD, AND TASTY TREATS

The Rogue Valley Food Trail invites you on a self-guided culinary journey through the fertile lands of the Rogue Valley.

Choose a section of the trail for a day (or week) of food adventure: farm stands, u-pick farms, farm-to-table restaurants, farmers’ markets, craft beverages, chocolatiers, cheese makers, bakeries and cafes. The businesses along the Rogue Valley Food Trail share a commitment to promoting and sourcing products that are grown, raised and created in the Southern Oregon region.

The Rogue Valley Food Trail is open to visitors throughout the year and is designed to be explored at your own pace- you are welcome to start and finish wherever you like. We encourage you to inquire at individual businesses about seasonality and hours of operation before visiting.

The high season varies per business but is typically April -November. The seasonality of key products is listed below:

The working farms along this trail provide some of the most unique and engaging experiences. We ask that you respect the invitation to enter each property and be cautious around farm animals and equipment.
