It all began with a dream. Like a lot of people in Oregon that are not natives, John and Caroline Stranberg dreamed of leaving the rat race of the city behind and moving to paradise. In 1967 they purchased a Pear Orchard in Oregon just outside of Ashland. In 1968 the Stranberg family moved from Southern California to Ashland. John Jr. received a degree in Horticultural Science and Paul received a degree in Agricultural Engineering from Oregon State University. John Jr. went to work for Monrovia Nursery for a while and gained the experience needed to run his own nursery.

​

In 1979, the two brothers decided to combine knowledge and start their own business. This business started out as a love for growing plants. It didn’t take long before they learned there is a lot more to it than that. It takes people to grow, sell and buy plants. Eventually, the Valley View Family grew along with the crops and John and Paul’s families all played a role in the business.
