Yesterdays Memories - Tollen Farm

Tollen Farm is home to "Yesterday's Memories". It is a cool farm that is located in the country, in Wilsonville, Oregon.

It is a whimsical place...a mixture of home and garden decor, miniature donkeys, sheep, apples, filberts, plums, a llama, horses. All this is run by one person. Tollen Farm is open to the public each year from April through September.

I had the privilege of getting to run around with my camera and photographing most everything on the farm. It was rather expansive and I couldn't figure out how one person could run the whole thing with all the animals, orchards, gift shop. And, do it in grand style!

The image has been converted to a digital painting that I hope you enjoy. If you would like to explore this image, or others, please see links below!

Farm Tours - Tollen Farm Two

This is the second installment of the 8th Annual Spring Tour of "Favorite 5 Country Farms" featuring only the Tollen Farm in Wilsonville, Oregon. Here is post number one: Tollen Farm

This is a great event that takes place in Wilsonville, Tualatin and Sherwood, Oregon at various farms. The price of admission is a can of food that goes to the Food Bank.

Many of the photos here were converted to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR) through special software: Lightroom 4 and Photomatix (both links to Amazon) .

The lamb pictured here cannot walk yet but they got her standing so she could pose for a photo.

Farm Tours - Tollen Farm

If you missed the 8th Annual Spring Tour of "Favorite 5 Country Farms" in Wilsonville, Tualatin and Sherwood, Oregon...well, you missed a lot of fun. The cost was a can of food for the Food Bank at each location...a very small admission price for a great cause.

My wife and I planned on attending at least four out of the five places on the tour. We never made it passed the Tollen Farm (link to their site) in Wilsonville. I believe we spent about two hours there and decided not to go anywhere else. It was that cool.

Of course, there were the animals... miniature donkeys, lambs, horses and so on. But, the big draw for us was the gift shop(s) and all the cool yard items sitting around all over the place...in a very, very nice setting.

We would highly recommend if you live in Oregon, or just visiting, like a lady from Mississippi we ran into was, get yourself there. And, you don't need a can of food to visit since they are usually open during the year.

Naturally, I had my Pentax camera with me and who could resist taking as many photos as possible throughout this super neat place.

Most of the shots here were converted to High Dynamic Range Photography (HDR) through special software, Lightroom 4 and Photomatix.

More photos to come!
