John Day River Farm Trail

John Day River Farm Trail

Driving through the rugged, dramatic and arid landscape along the John Day River, one might wonder what kind of food could be grown here. Drop into the small valleys that dot the route and you’ll see the difference a little water, rich soil and a lot of hard work can make. Patches of lush green grass and alfalfa, robust gardens and incredible fruit orchards located in Kimberly (which draws fruit lovers from throughout eastern and central Oregon) tell the real story.
