Hazelnut Hill

We are blessed to live in a place in the world that takes great pride in its local treasures. one such delight are the hazelnuts, or filberts as some will know them. At our house we call them hazelnuts and get them from hazelnut hill, an excellent, local, home grown, fun place for an outing with the whole family. Corvallis Oregon has great treasures....this is one of our favourites during the Christmas season....we love giving these because whoever we give them to beg us for more in all their complements they shower on the flavour and sweetness of the nuts.

Not only can you get nuts, you can get them in all their forms...my favorite are the hazelnuts in dark chocolate, oh and the hazelnut toffee....oh, and they also have blueberries in dark chocolate and raspberries. Seriously...ya gotta try them, remember Hazelnut Hill.

they have a coffee shop as well....or hot chocolate shop (depending on your age and caffeine tolerance!)

We really didn't get to the strawberry patches in time to get the good, huge Oregon strawberries. We came later on when they are little, but still super sweet. J didn't care. He insisted over and over that: "these are the best strawberries we have ever tasted!!" Sweet they were, and now they are gone. Enjoy the pictures though!! :)







Right by the patch they have a hazelnut orchard. Oh, this was a fun, and slightly spooky place. The boys ran around in there for around an hour...good times for bungarees!
