the edgefeild

The more and more I go to school, the more and more I realize that my dream job would be to own a bed and breakfast/brew pub/ ecology awareness resort. Partly because I hear of all of these incredible places scientists go to for their conferences, partly because I have gone to lots of bed and breakfasts in my travels and always felt more than at home, and partly because I find myself wanting to go kayaking or hiking instead of sitting in the lab.

One location, I can blame my father for introducing me to, is the Edgefeild outside of Portland Oregon. It consists of a brew pub, and winery, a distillery and -for the more sober ones of us- a gulf course (hippie style), a glasshouse, and ceramics center, a movie theatre, and many other great attractions. I especially like how their brew kettles are painted rather than the traditional stainless steel. Below is a link.
