The owner of the Foehlinger Farm, which was established in 2009, has fond memories of making her first Dresden Plate quilt with her grandmother. The farm is new and a working 30-foot windmill with 8-foot blades, which will mimic the blades in the block, is planned for the site.

Graf Farm

Block: Jungle Flower
The Harding family moved here in 2016 and built the shed soon after. This peaceful place is the family’s retreat and the colorful block was chosen because it reminded them of the trips they’ve taken to tropical places. (Use care if stopping briefly.)

Block: Chasing Geese

The great-grandfather of the owner of this farm came to Oregon from Illinois via the Oregon Trail, and arrived in Verboort in 1884. The barn houses the original wagon that came across the trail. This original block commemorates the history.

LSV Farm & Mill

2603 NW Hwy 47, Forest Grove

Walta Farm

9500 SW Old Hwy 47, Gaston

Block: Corn and Beans
This farm features and old “drive-through” style barn, which allowed a team of horses to easily enter one end and exit out the other side. The classic block of green and yellow represents the sweet corn and green beans that are grown here in a rotation.

Please note that Quilt Barn Trail is meant to be a driving route, and several quilt barns are located on private property, and access may be limited.
