What we offer:
At 15900 W. Perrydale Rd., Sheridan, Oregon, we are located between Amity, Dallas and Sheridan in the midst of farming country. We are within a 35 minute driving distance from McMinnville or Salem. The three miles of gravel road to our farm is maintained and mostly flat.
Half of our land is farmed for grass hay. The trail course obstacles range over the rest of the acreage. Our property sits on top of gently rolling hills surrounded by miles of farmland, with mountains on all horizons.
You'll enjoy a million dollar view as you ride through Perrydale Trails, as well as a welcome sense of peacefulness. Leave behind the hustle and noise of the city; you will appreciate the big sky, the incredible quiet, the spaciousness ....
And, if you choose to spend a couple of days with us, pictured below is a typical summer sunrise. In our three acre parking field, we offer dry camping, complete with sturdy paneled pens, nearby water and clean restrooms.
