Oregon Grown

"Oregon's impressive variety of crops and livestock – more than 220 commodities are produced – makes us one of the nation's most diverse agricultural states. Oregon leads the nation in the production of Christmas trees, hazelnuts, a variety of berries, peppermint, and grass seed. We are overwhelmingly a state of family owned and operated farms. Our producers provide a pipeline of high quality products to local markets. Oregon agriculture remains a major provider to regional, domestic, and international markets.

At a time when less than 2% of our population is in the business of farming, ranching and fishing, it's important for the rest of us 98% to recognize the importance of agriculture to Oregon. Its contribution to our economy and natural resources is something we should all be grateful for."

Katy Coba, Director
Oregon Department of Agriculture
