Rogue Valley Growers and Crafters Market is a richly woven tapestry of farmers, ranchers, crafters, food processors, board and staff dedicated to the land at-large and our beautiful valley community in particular.

We're dedicated to putting our utmost effort and passion into the soil and food that sustains you. Through hard work and innovative practices, we strive to provide the best. During the outdoor season, we host up to three markets a week for the best access to the incredible bounty our bioregion has to offer.

The Southern Oregon Lavender Trail is made up of 8 lavender farms in the Rogue and Applegate Valleys. At the height of the lavender bloom, we host our festival weekends!

The lavender is always the star and makes for some stunning family photos but in addition during the festivals you will find lavender plants, lavender products produced by the farms, and u-pick lavender at most of the destinations. In addition, you can expect to find extra events and activities at many of the locations, including food and beverage vendors, wine, cider, live music, kid-friendly activities, lavender-related demonstrations and classes, other vendor booths, and more!

Each farm offers different events and activities, so be sure to visit them all! Find a convenient map on our website to help you plan your trip.

Would you like to know what 19th Century Jacksonville was like? Then plan to stretch your legs in the comfort of morning temperatures at 10am on Historic Jacksonville, Inc.’s guided “Walk through History” tour! Prepare to time travel back to the late 1800s when Jacksonville was the hub of Southern Oregon. Hear how gambling money built a church; how the Civil War ended a successful mercantile partnership; how a saloon housed the county’s first museum; how fire reshaped the town; and how a railroad both destroyed the town and preserved it.
These guided walking tours leave from Jacksonville’s New City Hall (the historic Jackson County Courthouse/Jacksonville Museum) at 206 North 5th Street. Tours cover about 1 mile and last about 1 hour. Tours are FREE, but donations are always welcomed—all monies go towards maintaining and preserving historic buildings seen on the tour.
