The roots of Canby all come back to farming. Canby wouldn’t be where or what it is today without agriculture. Most likely, it wouldn’t be here at all. Canby can credit its agricultural success to the area’s fertile, sandy soils (deposited here, geologists believe, in the massive floods from Lake Missoula that ripped through the Willamette Valley during the last ice age, some 15,000 years ago) and of course to the hard work of our first farmers and settlers.
Paradise Farm & Nursery offers fresh, naturally grown produce, plant starts, farm-fresh eggs, and handmade wreaths—keeping Canby locals stocked with healthy, affordable food from May through December.
