I'm not aware of anyone producing tobacco for sale in Oregon. Seeds, starts, plants, and <em>probably</em> whole green leaves are treated like any other produce, but as soon as you process it by drying, trimming, curing, etc., it becomes a tobacco product subject to a ton of rules, taxes, and paperwork. Maybe you could get a local farmer to raise a patch of it and then process it yourself? That's mostly a matter of having a temperature and humidity controlled area to keep it. I have no idea if it would be legal to then use it commercially...but I don't suppose they give a liquor tax exemption for spirits used in cooking =\ Hi Sean.

I have a restaurant in Dundee, Ore. and am looking for some local tobacco, if possible, to use for smoking salmon. Is this something you could help out with or point me in a direction. Thanks for the time and hope to hear from you. Hey guys, just came across your website while searching for any Oregon tobacco growers / farms.

You don't know me, but I was surfing the web and  found your blog. You two are such an inspiration to me. I wish I can be like you someday. I wish I could visit you and see with my own eyes how you do it all, but that would be  kind of creepy because you don't know me.Have a happy Valentine's Day! Hi!

Teri, Linda said you may be in our area this month. Just had my cousin Lis from Denmark here for 6 weeks. She speaks only a little English and keept wishing she could carry on a longer conversation with the "English only" speakers. She loved one Sunday when we managed to visit with some Danish Friends and a couple from our church who spoke fluid Danish. We did a lot of catching up from some years in younger days, when her parents divorced and Lis and 2 other siblings were not allowed any contact with their Dad (my uncle), or any of the cousins from his side of the Family. We all thought it was so unfair and wondered if we'd connect later in our lives. We all did in 2007 and again now. It was great, and we even drove to Niagara Falls,thru Canada. See ya. Maybe . . . .
