22 | Willamette Valley Inspiration Guide The Kitchen at Middleground Farm Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, Woodburn In the northeast corner of the valley, a cluster of historic cities and countryside towns define the Mt. Hood Territory. For fresh fare in the middle of the food source, explore Wilsonville. Savor an unforgettable lunch at Moroccan restaurant Dar Essalam (order the chicken bastilla, a dish typically reserved for weddings). Follow it up with an equally decadent dessert from Lux Sucre. For dinner, dine at Parkway Grille Bar & Restaurant in the new Hilton Garden Inn, or book a table for seasonal alfresco dining at The Kitchen at Middleground Farms, known for its on-farm cooking classes. In between meals, explore Wilsonville Memorial Park and Graham Oaks Nature Park. Southeast of Wilsonville, bursting with nurseries and flower farms, visit Canby, “The Garden Spot,” for unique downtown shops. You’ll also find stylish brewpubs like the Canby Beer Library, a taproom and food-cart pod that's housed in a former library. Several Canby farms are also open for tastes and tours. Try the cheese and visit the “cowlebrities” at TMK Creamery, grab a snack from the onfarm bakery at Fir Point Farms or Puddin’ River Chocolates, and view the colorful blooms at Swan Island Dahlia Farm. Bolster your flower-viewing experience with EnChroma glasses at Swan Island and the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival; the glasses, available to borrow free of charge, are designed to enhance color perception for those with red-green color blindness. Continue heading southeast for a big welcome in Molalla. For more than 100 years, the community has celebrated Mt. Hood Territory
