Harvest Restaurant

On June 10, Ruby and John Biles opened the doors to Harvest Restaurant here in Talent. Their vision: to create a world cuisine dining experience centered around a locally-sourced, ingredient-driven menu. "Harvest Restaurant is an expression of simple elegance," explains John.
Both husband and wife have been cooking for over 13 years in various culinary settings. Ruby attended the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan and John studied in Santa Barbara, California. "We have worked in various local establishments, but felt it was time to present our own cuisine and share our passion with the community we love," John said. "When we found out this renovated gas station was available we jumped at the chance to create what we felt Talent really needed."

Green Valley Wellness: One Stop Shop for OMMP Patients

As long time entrepreneurs and advocates of healthy lifestyle choices, Michael Monarch (CEO) and Peter Gross (COO) partnered together in February, after 18 years of friendship, to form Green Valley Wellness, LLC, with the hopes of setting the bar in the Rogue Valley for creating Southern Oregon's premier medical cannabis dispensary. Both Peter and Michael have extensive backgrounds in health and wellness—including a combined 25 years as certified massage therapists.
"We saw a distinct need for the patients of the area to have access to safe medical grade cannabis that is of the highest quality, thoroughly laboratory tested and declared safe by the State of Oregon's new standards according to HB3460," Michael said. "On a business level, we clearly saw the trend and tidal wave of the 'Green Rush' that is currently happening throughout the country."

Valley Dental - Talent

In late April, Rajesh Chunduri opened Valley Dental - Talent at 160 N. Pacific Highway in Talent. "I am proud to provide a state-of-the-art facility here in Talent for the highest quality dental care available," Chunduri said. "It is one of our top priorities to protect the well-being of our valued patients."
Chunduri, a graduate of Boston University, has been in dentistry since 2002, and had been practicing in Medford since September 2012. "Being in the medical field is like making a living and serving people at the same time," Chunduri explained. "We will help you to restore and maintain oral health, and oral health is very important in maintaining general health."

Best Friends Animal Hospital

Dr. Dale Bush opened the doors to the original Best Friends Animal Hospital in Talent on October 1, 1992. Today, 22 years later, the hospital continues to offer the highest quality compassionate care for pets. "From the moment you step in the waiting room to the time you are ready to check out, we want you to feel welcome and comfortable," said Dr. Laura Fredricks. "We will involve you in the decision making process and make the best treatment plan for your animal companions."
The clinic has an open door policy where you are able to stay with your animal during most diagnostic testing, and you are able to visit your hospitalized pet whenever possible to help the healing process. They also offer emergency appointments and walk-ins for those times where calling ahead is not an option.

Sawyer Paddles & Oars

Peter Newport's roots start right here in southern Oregon: his parents ran the ski shop and taught skiing at Mt. Ashland 50 years ago, and his father graduated in Business/Accounting from SOCC. He was born in Bend, but followed in his dad's footsteps to southern Oregon, and in 2011 became the owner of Sawyer Paddles and Oars. "I've always enjoyed rafting, kayaking and fishing the Rogue and Deschutes rivers," Pete said.
After working with Pepsi-Cola for many years, Pete bought the Bend-based Breedlove Guitar Company. "Master Luthier, Kim Breedlove really taught me about design, woodworking, wood buying, art and overall skills related to woodworking."
