Message from the Owners

Rick & Joan

Hello Woodburn,

My wife Joan and I moved to Woodburn a few years ago now. We truly love this community, and everything about its diverse cultures.

From wine country to Mexican food, Russian festivals to sipping a beer made by monks at the Mt. Angel Benedictine brewery, there is always something different to offer here. During the summer you might just see us washing down a hot dog with a pale ale while watching a baseball game in Keizer, on the OGA golf course, or hiking Silver Falls.

It is heartwarming living in a community where people not only put their differences aside, but rather embrace them — recognizing that we are all one big family on this planet.

Here, of course, we are the BURN FAMILY — and our culture is one of people who believe in “training for life.” It's not exercise, it's preparation for being able to take advantage of all those fun things this world so abundantly provides.

Come join our family; and be one of our FIT… HEALTHY… HAPPY crew!

Earn the Burn!
