There are still lots of plums in the orchards within easy reach!

One of the best features of our farm is how accessible it is. It’s a large property so you drive to the orchards, and easily park within a few yards of the trees. This means people of different ages and physical abilities can all pick their fruit!

We're in full swing of our 2026 Upick. We had lots of plum and pear fans out this weekend, but there's still tons to pick. Lots of tons. There seems to be lots of variation in ripening speed this year in different areas of the orchards. Stop by the cashier as you enter and get a map and our advice on where the fruit is ripest. Italian plums and Brooks plums are $1.50 a pound.
We're also having a great pear crop. Generally not our best crop, but this year the fruit is larger and free of any fungal infections that plague the Northwest. Yay! Progress is good! $.75 a pound for pears.

Our 2026 Upick season is approaching soon! Opening date will be Friday, August 21st. As usual we'll be open 6 days a week (closed Mondays). Our youngest plum orchard has started producing this year, so we'll have more Italian plums! Here's a pic taken in the mature Italian plum orchard on Friday July 28th. They've started to turn purple, but are not sweet and soft yet. Please call, text, or message if you have questions. We'll post the hours and prices soon.
