DAY<br />
BAKERY • FARM VISIT • HIKING<br />
After yesterday’s indulgence, the final day is all about<br />
getting back to the land.<br />
The local baker has the remedy for all-night tailgating.<br />
Good coffee, a case full of pastries and a breakfast menu<br />
that includes biscuits and homemade sausage gravy, are<br />
specialties at New Morning Bakery on 2nd Street.<br />
Grab your coffee to go, pack an ice chest and head<br />
west on Highway 20 to 53rd Street. Afton Field Farm<br />
(aftonfieldfarm.com) is a 106-acre sustainable farm. Its<br />
young owners, Tyler and Alicia Jones, raise chickens,<br />
sheep, grass-fed beef and hogs. Tyler, a Corvallis native,<br />
was an early understudy with famed farmer Joel Salatin,<br />
who revolutionized rotational grazing and land stewardship.<br />
Load up on Afton Field’s T-bone and New York<br />
steaks, pork chops and bacon. The prices are reasonable<br />
and the quality superb.<br />
If you’re feeling remotely ambitious, there are yet more<br />
hills to climb and balance to restore. Marys Peak, also west<br />
of town and the highest point in the Coastal Range, offers<br />
the challenge of beauty and beast. Wildflowers, natural<br />
meadows and Noble firs comprise some of the show along<br />
the nine-mile East Rim Trail—good for mountain biking,<br />
trail running, a brisk hike or even a simple drive to the<br />
summit. On a clear day from this 4,100-foot vantage point,<br />
you can see to the Pacific Ocean and back to the Cascades<br />
and Corvallis in the heart of the valley.<br />
