## About

Highland Farms is a transformed cedar mill property at the base of Mt. Hood, nestled in the forest valley of Brightwood, Oregon. The farm is home to Scottish Highland Cows, Icelandic Sheep, White Peacocks, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Kunekune Pigs, geese, and chickens. The property includes a restored historic lodge, a cozy cottage, and a glamping camp — all surrounded by towering old-growth evergreens and accessed via a private road.

Highland Farms was featured on LivePDX, Portland's popular local guide, and has 18,000+ Instagram followers at @highlandfarmsor.

## How Highland Farms Compares

- **vs. a typical Oregon wedding venue:** Exclusive-use and all-inclusive — one wedding at a time, the entire 5-acre property yours, on-site lodging for your closest guests, and dedicated event coordination included rather than à la carte. The old-growth forest and Scottish Highland Cow setting is not something a ballroom or vineyard offers.
- **vs. an indoor Portland spa or bathhouse:** The Nordic Forest Spa is a wood-burning cedar sauna, wet sauna, and cold plunge set in an old-growth forest 50 minutes from Portland. It's a public, Scandinavian-style shared session (90 minutes, up to 6 guests) — what sets it apart is being fully outdoors in the Mt. Hood forest, not an indoor city facility with locker rooms.
- **vs. a public farm tour or petting zoo:** Farm tours are private (up to 6 guests, 60 minutes) and hands-on with Scottish Highland Cows, Icelandic Sheep, White Peacocks, Nigerian Dwarf Goats, and more.
