One cool thing about Portland is that you are about 90 minutes from the beach and about 90 minutes from Mt. Hood and the snow/skiing and a little more than that and you are in the desert/warm area of Eastern Oregon.
If you are interested in having a small farm you likely won't live in Portland, but you don't have to travel far (20-30 min) and you can find plenty of rural areas around the city where you can easily have a small farm.
As others have said, there is a good amount of rain, but one thing I like is that we actually have four seasons. Winters are wet and grey with a little snow every now and then Spring alternates between wet and sunny while summer is mostly mild and in the 80's, although we do sometimes get some heat waves. Fall is my favorite. The weather is mild and there are a ton of trees changing color.
