FAMILY FUN IN THE ROGUE VALLEY

The Vaughn Family Farm has been growing in one form or another since 1902. We specialize in four varieties of pears: Bartlett, Comice, Bosc and Packhams Triumph. With over 100 acres of pastureland, orchards and hay fields, we also have wild blackberries for picking. We would love you to come visit us for our u-pick fruit in season and for a conducted tour of our orchard. Call Farmer Ed directly in late summer and throughout fall to get your fresh sun-ripened pears and pick up your canning pears for the winter. You can find our locally grown fruits at many local grocery stores.

Wagner Butte towers directly above the Bear Creek Valley immediately west of Medford and Ashland. At 7,140 feet, it’s right next to and only 200 feet lower than Mount Ashland, the Siskiyous’ highest peak. If you’ve ever wished there were a wilderness trail to the top of Mount Ashland instead of a network of roads, consider tackling Wagner Butte. The trailhead lies just 10.5 miles from downtown Talent. Highlight: The highest hikeable mountain overlooking Bear Creek Valley.

Wildlife Images Rehabilitation and Education Center was founded as a non-profit corporation in 1981 by renowned wildlife rehabilitator J. David Siddon. The facility was created in order to provide for the care and treatment of sick, injured and orphaned wildlife. Wildlife Images has since expanded to provide educational programs on wildlife, conservation, and the environment to schools, organizations and the general public.
