Photo Story! Midway Farms !

Welcome to Midway Farms ! Located midway between Albany and Corvallis along highway 20 is a small, but mighty farmers market! They opened in 1998 and have been going strong since. Their hours are 10am to 6pm seven days a week! When you walk up to the storefront, you are washed over with a welcoming tone as stroll by the arrangement of houseplants and herbs for sale outside. The store is a refurbished barn with a downstairs store and upstairs preparations area and storage. Close up of rows of growing plants! Here you can see poppies, kale cabbage and strawberries all big and strong! This may not look like much to the average person but Midway farms goes for sustainability and small-scale farming to ensure top quality crops!  \Once inside of the store you will notice all the homemade goods the farm can offer: not only fresh fruits and veggies but also jams, sauces, salsa, pickled items and gluten free baked goodies! Did you know that they are Oregon's only dedicated gluten free farm?...
