Currents Gallery is one of the many women-owned businesses in downtown McMinnville. Nineteen years ago, when they started this little enterprise, they had no idea if they could make a success of it. Over the years they added a classroom, expanded the display space and grew to represent more than 70 Northwest Oregon artists! Currents Gallery is now considered one of Oregon’s premier art galleries.
Troon Vineyard stands out as Oregon’s only Demeter Biodynamic and Regenerative Organic Certified® winery and farm. Remarkably, it is one of only four farms worldwide to achieve Regenerative Organic Gold Certification®, and the recognition Troon has received, such as a nomination from Wine Enthusiast magazine as an American Winery of the Year, is a testament to their dedication.

FALL IS FOR PASTA! 🍂 McMinnville’s James Beard-nominated @haywardrestaurant, recently featured in Forbes, is serving up two rotating pasta dishes that stick to your ribs – in the very best way. First up, a luscious eggplant, corn, and mushroom cavatelli, where sweet corn is cooked in brown butter and paired with a rich parmesan broth made from husks and cobs. Then, there’s a hand-cut pasta with a kick: fermented pepper sofrito, melt-in-your-mouth pork belly, stracciatella, fresh mint, and sourdough breadcrumbs seasoned with a zing of fermented tomato powder. Don’t miss out on these autumnal delights! 📷: @carterhiyama
