About Moro

Set high on the rolling plateaus of north-central Oregon, Moro is a quiet farming community of fewer than 400 people. Surrounded by endless golden wheat fields and sweeping big-sky views, the town offers a peaceful, unhurried rhythm where neighbors genuinely know each other. It originally grew as a central trade and shipping point for local grain growers, and that hardworking, close-knit spirit still defines the area today.
