Fill your home with a beautiful bouquet you built yourself from local flowers. Peonies are in bloom at Columbia Farms.
This Sauvie Island farm is one of the many you-pick farms you can enjoy this spring and summer. Columbia Farms prides itself on creating a quiet, quaint, working-farm experience. You can’t miss the big white barn with a green roof.
The farm started in the early 1990s as a one-acre strawberry field. Now Columbia Farms offers more than fifteen different types of berries, peonies, pumpkins and all types of fall décor items.
Here’s an update on the farm’s peonies.
