Honey Market · August 17–19, 2028 · Roseburg, Oregon
Roseburg — the Douglas County seat and the heart of the Umpqua Valley, Oregon's oldest wine appellation — sits at the confluence of the North Umpqua and South Umpqua rivers in a warm inland valley whose Mediterranean-influenced climate, diverse agriculture, and surrounding old-growth forests create one of Oregon's most productive and distinctive honey-producing landscapes. Douglas County's honey landscape is shaped by the blackberry blossom flow of summer, when the Umpqua Valley's hillsides of Himalayan blackberry and native trailing blackberry produce the late-summer honey that Douglas County beekeepers prize; the fireweed flows of the Douglas-fir and mixed conifer forests logged in the surrounding mountains, where fireweed colonizes clearcuts and creates spectacular honey flows; the vineyard and orchard blossom flows of the Umpqua Valley's wine grape, pear, and peach operations; and the myrtle, madrone, and Pacific Coast wildflower flows of the Cascade and Klamath Mountain foothills that bracket the valley. The Douglas County Fairgrounds and downtown Roseburg's Stewart Park host this August market celebrating the Umpqua Valley's honey and wine heritage during the summer harvest season. The market features an Oregon Honey Competition with blackberry, fireweed, and Pacific wildflower categories; culinary pairings of Umpqua Valley honey with Oregon wines, craft meads, and Willamette Valley farmstead cheeses; Oregon State Beekeepers Association educational programs on Pacific Northwest blackberry and fireweed management; and heritage exhibits celebrating the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians' homeland and the 19th-century Applegate Trail immigration and gold rush that shaped Douglas County's development.
