The climate is so good, in fact,
that the valley had an active agricultural industry around the
turn of the century. The Rogue Valley is still known as "pear
country," and you can see trees from the old orchards around the
Medford-Ashland area. The climate is also conducive to growing
grapes, and we have many Wineries and Vineyards here. See our
Wineries Page.
