We’re back to Eastern Oregon for Photo Friday this week. My good friend Logan and his family run a wheat farm in the Grass Valley, Oregon area.
Logan is the fifth generation on his family’s wheat ranch. Three of which are working on the farm right now!
They raise soft white wheat that is sold all over the world!
This is Logan’s trusty sidekick…what is it about farmers and their dogs?
Just another day of living the dream for Logan and his family.
Good morning and Happy Labor Day! I hope everyone is taking a break from their “real” jobs and enjoying some good weather, BBQ, and time with the fam.
We are doing just that over here, although a break from our “real” jobs means that we are just working at our own place and yet still farming, I don’t think we really ever get a true break from farming! Matt’s been busy at our house, moving dirt, fine tuning some hillsides so we can plant them to grass.
I’ve been babysitting our irrigation (not much to fall rain here yet), trying to catch squirrels (key word here is trying…those are some tricky little buggars!) Check out our bait choices so far….
They are eating well, those are hazelnut shells!
And I’ve also had some time to enjoy making delicious things like Lemon cake!
Overall it’s been a great weekend of working, so here’s Labor Day giving us more time to…well…work (good thing we love what we do!)
This Friday I am heading just next door to a neighboring farm, Pearmine Farms. You can read more about them on a blog post by clicking here.
They are a very diversified operation, growing a multitude of crops. Everything from pumpkins, to broccoli, and wheat to cherries.
Cherries are looking ripe!

Thank you so much Pearmine Farms for letting me “steal” some photos to share!!
