Photo & Video Offerings

We thank you for considering Highland Farms for your photo production. We love seeing both personal and commercial shoots coming to life on our property, a charming 5 acre forest farm nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Oregon’s Mount Hood Territory.

Our farm not only provides scenic access to the vignettes of the Pacific Northwest forest, but also provides the opportunity to incorporate our majestic Scottish Highland Coos and other assorted fowl and livestock into your photoshoot.

ACCOMMODATIONS

We understand that multi-day productions require convenient lodging near the set, and our Lodge, Cottage, Airstream, and furnished canvas tents doing just so, comfortably sleeping up to 22 crew and cast members.

Experience the Mount Hood Territory at your doorstep.

Brightwood, Oregon, sits in a forested valley midway between Mount Hood and the fertile Willamette Valley. Perched on a sloping foothill above the confluence of the Sandy and Salmon Rivers, Highland Farms shares the same views witnessed by the fur traders and trappers that established the infamous Oregon Trail.
