🍒 Join Us in the Orchard!

We are a family-run orchard in the heart of Mosier Valley. Since 2000, our family, Phil, Davina, and the kids, has been working this land to bring you the some of the best tree-ripened fruit in the region.

How U-Pick Works

Check the "Ripe-o-Meter": If it’s before June 12th or after August 1st, check our homepage or social media before heading out to ensure the fruit is ready!
What we grow: We have 10 varieties of sweet cherries, 2 varieties of sour cherries, and 2 types of peaches (specifically grown for that perfect tree-ripened flavor).
Pick & Weigh: We provide the buckets; you provide the picking power! Once you're done, we weigh your harvest at the stand.

Grown for Our Family and Yours

We live right here in the orchard, so your family’s safety is our priority.

Smart Farming: We treat our U-Pick blocks differently than our commercial fruit. We prioritize OMRI-certified products and the safest choices possible to keep our home and your fruit healthy.
Tree-to-Table: Because we don't have to worry about "shipping firmness" for our U-Pick trees, we let the fruit stay on the branch longer for maximum sweetness.
