Fruit Basket

Fruit Basket We are a family-run u-pick orchard and fruit stand in Western Colorado. We grow apricots, apples, cherries, grapes, nectarines, peaches, and plums.

Welcome to Fruit Basket Orchards, the only full-service U-Pick orchard in Colorado's Grand Valley. Our motto is “pick, eat, repeat” and if it grows on our property, we’ll let you pick and take it home. We grow a little bit of everything, including all your favorite stone fruit (peaches, sweet cherries, tart cherries, nectarines, apricots, plums), raspberries, plus 18 varieties of apples. We also g

row table grapes, and a few pears. We strive to provide the highest quality fresh fruit and products, excellent service and a fun, safe and educational experience. Come see what makes us different!

Hello everybody,

Last week was our last week. The peaches have all been picked and apples are all beat up from the hail, so we have closed for the season.

We thank you for coming out this season and we hope the fruit you purchased was enjoyable. It was good to see so many of our repeat customers.

Perhaps next year will be a better year with the weather. We look forward to seeing you then.

Hello everybody,

This is the last week Peaches will be available for u-pick. We hope you have enjoyed these tasty treats.

Apple have been a challenge. But a side from that, we will be allowing u-pick again this weekend. Several varieties are ripe and there are some very beautiful apples to be picked; varieties include Red Delicious, Granny Smith and Rome. We also have apple seconds in the store at $0.50/lb., while supplies. This may be the last weekend for apples as well. We will see how the remaining varieties look.

Grapes continue to ripen with both the red and green table grapes available. Concord are also available this weekend. All are excellent!

There are more good things in the store including honey, dried fruit (limited supply), jam, homemade sour dough bread, and soapy goat stuff.

This will be a great weekend to be out in the orchard. We hope you have safe travels and we look forward to seeing you in the orchard.

Hello everybody,

Peaches and we have lots of them. They are boxed in the store and on the trees for those that want to pick. If you are looking for peaches or nectarines, now is the time, this is the peak and their availability will trail off from here. Several varieties of peaches will be available for u-pick. Also, this week we will have the ever popular Elberta peach in the store.

Boxes will be available in the store at the lowest price of the season. Seconds are also available in-store at an incredibly low price.

Elderberries are still available and probably will be until the first freeze. These tiny berries come packed with anti-oxidants. Some uses include jam, jelly or a mild drink.

Gala and maybe a few other varieties will be available for picking. Apple seconds will be available in the store at a minimal price.

Grapes continue to ripen with both the red and green table grapes available. Concord should also be available this weekend. All are excellent grapes, so tasty.

Hello everybody,

We have peaches and they are excellent. We have a couple of varieties coming on this weekend and we should be transitioning from cling to freestone peaches.

Grapes have started to ripen and there should be some of them available for picking.

One of the growers near-by has decided to take down all their trees and grow something other than fruit. They still have some plums, so we might have them available in store only. All the other good stuff is still available in store including honey, dried fruit, jam, homemade sour dough bread, and soapy goat stuff.

Due to rising insurance cost, starting August 1st, we will be charging an entrance fee to get into the orchard.

We hope you have safe travels and we look forward to seeing you in the orchard.

07/24/2025

Hello everybody, ,

Peaches are on and ready to pick. The hail did cause skin damage but the delicious flavor remains. There should be some in the store for those that don’t want to pick.

Other items continue to be available including honey, jam, dried fruit and sourdough bread made by a local baker (it is delicious). Soapy goat products are also available in-store.

We will be open Friday and Saturday 9 am to 4 pm and we look forward to seeing you in the orchard.
