This is a wonderful farm if you want to see animals up close. We saw and got to feed alpacas,…read moreostriches, emus, lamp/sheep. If you're planning on visiting, make a reservation for ether a group or private tour. The group tour is $15 per person while the private tour is $150 for the entire group. The only drawback with the group tour is you don't know how many people might be in it. We had almost 40 in our group and that was a bit too many in my opinion. When you arrive, check-in is inside the red barn. They'll let you know which group tour you belong to. They have port o' potties and hand washing stations behind the barn. If you end up getting any food from the food truck (ostrich sliders and ostrich philly steak style sandwiches), you can bring it into the barn where there's picnic style tables and benches. The "gift shop" is also inside the barn. If you do come on wet day or after it rains, be sure to wear appropriate shoes...it can get muddy as you walk from one animal area to another.

We attended an event here…read more The barn is the highlight. It was huge & offered lots of space to roam and allow kiddos to have fun birthday party wise. Their tour was running late- by late I mean 40 minutes... so we had to shuffle things around party wise. The tour consists I of seeing the animals. Didn't realize that the Ostrich were there for lol meat purposes. During the tour kiddos got to feed them. They have a few different areas to roam, with some tables. It's a decent sized place. I think it could use some TLC though.

Torchsong performances here are such a great time! The chairs are not friendly but they move, there…read moreare many options for places to be. The parking lot is a bit sketchy looking and there is only one ADA space so you will want to get there a bit early. Also, get there early for delicious snacks. They even had hard alcohol and mac and cheese which I did not expect at all or we would not have eaten so close to show time. They have great prices on concessions and a pretty great amount of options so support that! Most recently a friend and I went to see Something Wicked which was an 80s rocker interpretation of Macbeth. So much fun! Those costumes! I will say that the sound was a bit off - live band and quite a few of the actors were not seeming experienced with singing in this way so we could not understand their lyrics. They were so present though we were with them but it was odd only being able to hear the lyrics for half the songs. I know setting that many microphones can be tricky and their user can get paranoid if they get feedback squeals. But, for the audience - grab seats closer to the back if you struggle with hearing etc. There really are not bad seats here! The lighting was perfect. I also love that they say take pictures and video but to make sure to tag them. I have noticed at shows genuinely that the audience for these is really great. If people are snapping pictures, they are not being disruptive {which is what I really strive for myself}. I also appreciate that they do offer Arts for All and are so very kind to help get you ADA seating. Many places treat us terrible so feeling welcome is wonderful.

The content of the shows may not be everyone's cup of tea, but we sure have a good time! I have been utilizing this space since 2020. In that time, I've been able to see the potential in it, and the work the lodge's members are doing to help out the community. I even became a member myself as of January, 2024. The space is large and versatile, and the best part, it's very accessible- no stairs, comfortable seating, spacious bathrooms. The building is currently under remodel due to water damage from a roof leak several years ago, but the renovations will make the space better than ever! This is a lovely, affordable event space in the Portland area. Come check us out!

Ainsworth House & Gardens was the absolutely perfect place for my step-daughter and my new…read moreson-in-law to have their wedding! Such a gorgeous place with immaculately kept grounds. They had the ceremony under the shade of a huge, beautiful tree. The "coordinator" had great control over the entire event from cuing every person, including the participants for the ceremony, DJ, caterers, etc. and that made everything seamless. She knew exactly what the bride and groom had wanted, in all aspects. Everything, everywhere was clean and tidy and overall it was such a phenomenal wedding. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ainsworth House & Gardens for any event.

The help we received from Elizabeth, our assigned planner was EXCEPTIONAL. All I can say about Elizabeth is to trust the expert! She was so good at "herding cats" keeping things on task and making sure we (bride and groom) were always taken care of. They want your vision to come true and bend over backward to make it happen. You first think maybe the pricing is a bit much, but believe me, when you add up all that's included and the care you receive, it's a bargain, seriously! I would recommend the place to anyone holding a special event, it's gorgeous! Thank you, Team Ainsworth!!!!

A Dream Wedding Venue with Amazing Owners!…read more We had our daughter's wedding at Redland Family Farm, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful or accommodating venue. From the start, Adelle and Tim were so patient and helpful, even with the many questions and requests we threw their way. They always responded with kindness and made the entire process so much easier for us. They went above and beyond on the wedding day--Adelle even helped turn simple cheesecloth into gorgeous curtains, creating a warm and romantic entryway for the bride and groom. The venue itself is stunning, with two separate suites for the bride and groom to get ready, a large parking lot for guests, onsite staff to assist throughout the day, and the most breathtaking oak tree and sunset views you could imagine. Adelle and Tim are such a wonderful couple to work with, and their property is truly a gem. If you're looking for a venue that combines natural beauty with caring, hands-on owners, Redland Family Farm is the perfect choice!

Adele and Tim were truly incredible to work with…read more From the moment we arrived, we felt so taken care of - the venue is not only stunning, but filled with heart and intention. You can tell it's a family-run space, and that makes all the difference. We got married on a chilly summer solstice day with unexpected rain, and Tim was constantly stoking the fires to keep everyone warm and cozy. Even with the weather, there were so many beautiful, usable spaces for our guests to enjoy. The property is breathtaking in every direction, rain or shine! Adele and Tim were the kindest, most accommodating hosts. The whole day felt warm, welcoming, and so well supported. If you're looking for a venue that's as thoughtful as it is gorgeous, this is it. We are so grateful we chose Redland Family Farm - it was the best decision we made, and we would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

FIVE GREAT BIG STARS for this wonderful neighborhood experience in the Jade District of Portland. I…read moreknow, I know... Jade District is a fancy name for an area that sometimes gets a bad rap. A lot of unsavory things happen on 82nd Avenue, but it truly is improving in recent years. And it's one of the best areas in Portland to get a wide variety of foods and goods from an array of cultures worldwide. Some of my favorite Vietnamese restaurants, Asian bakeries, and gift shops are in this area. The Jade District Market brings together all of the best vendors, restaurants and entertainers in the area, representing an inpressive number of Asian cultures. Located at the Southeast Portland Community College Campus, there was abundant parking in several lots, as well as direct access to the bus line. This event really was a family affair! There were so many vendors selling everything you could think of, as well as community services handing out goodies to the folks in the neighborhood. I bought a bundle of lucky bamboo, some chrysanthemum tea, and some cute locally made pottery. We decided to have Filipino food, prepared by a sweet grandmotherly figure fanning smoke from the grill with bundled banana leaves. The line moved quickly, and I thoroughly enjoyed my Pancit bihon and Lumpia. The entertainment schedule is action-packed, featuring local bands, student choral groups, dancers and more! I loved every minute of the market, and can't wait to visit next year as well! A great big thank you to the sponsors and community members who make this event happen... you are very much appreciated.
