The Flaming Acres Story
Hello Friends...
The Flaming Acres story is not your traditional farm family yarn. It has a history of good times and bad. This is how it all began...Once upon a time, Lyle and Mary Ann Flaming (Dion's parents), moved to Caldwell from Dallas Oregon. In 1969 they purchased the farm on Lower Pleasant Ridge Road and raised dairy heifers and grew row crop. Because of the many financial and personal challenges endured by the family, the farm was sold off piece by piece until what remained was a small acreage owned by Dion Flaming, Lyle and Mary Ann's youngest son.
​
When the remaining 37 acres left of the original farmstead went up for sale in 2018, the potential buyers had plans to convert the farmland into an industrial park. In order to save the property from this fate, Dion made a bold move and offered to buy back the farm for what the businessmen were offering the seller. Much to everyones surprise the businessmen backed out of the sale and the farm was once again back in the hands of a Flaming.
​
In celebration of this wonderful blessing, we decided to pursue an agri-tourism conditional use permit from the county which was unanimously approved on June 2nd, 2022.
Our vision is to provide a beautiful farm experience for the people in our community. In 2022, 2023 and now in 2024 we planted over 30 varieties of sunflowers and have maintained 500 lavender plants with a garden filled with many varieties of complementary flowers for u-pick in the summer months. For our fall visitors we planted a corn field and have cut trails throughout it for our visitors to explore. We have taken leaf cutter bee houses and have transformed these into little buildings that house our coffee shop, grill and general store. We used pallets to make our hay wagon trailers. Our playground area utilizes old tractor tires for a unique play experience for kids. Our cow train is made from discarded storage containers...Using old fashioned ingenuity we have come up with ways to build things that have saved us great amounts of money, plus we have been grateful for the generous volunteers and partners who have helped by giving their time, talent and finances to help us with these projects.
Hopefully Flaming Acres Farm will become a regular place for you and your family to visit both in the summer and fall for u-pick flower season, the Labor Day Event and the Fall Harvest Festival Days. We are looking forward to visiting with you when you come for a visit!
Sincerely,
Dion & Debbie Flaming

Hi all,
I thought to myself maybe it is time to introduce myself, the face behind Flaming Acres! My name is Ashley and I am the daughter of Debbie and Dion Flaming, the owners and farmers of Flaming Acres.
My parents came to me with this idea for this farm in 2021 and I fell in love with the idea. I wanted to be able to help and I knew I was stepping away from teaching to be a stay-at-home mom. I wanted to be able to tell others about the farm so I offered to run the social media accounts. Little did I know how much the farm I grew up at would transform into what it has become today!
I am proud to see my parents dream come full circle. The love and devotion they have put into their farm stems from the desire to serve and be an outreach for their community! They constantly are looking for ways to bring people together and create a way to help families make memories together, the way we did growing up on a farm.
I am so thankful God gave me the opportunity to support my parents and spread the word about their farm. I hope the farm brings you all as much joy and fun as it has brought my family! We look forward to seeing you all in 2024!
​
Sincerely, Ashley Boggan
