Freedom Hill is set in the foothills of the Oregon coast range, five miles northwest of Monmouth, at an elevation between 350 and 600 feet. It’s now included in the new Mt. Pisgah sub-AVA. The vineyard is comprised of three parcels pieced together between 1981 and 1984. At the time, Dan and Helen Dusschee (doo-shay) were living in Salem, working in the juvenile court system, and looking to try their hand at grape growing.
