At High Country Orchard, we invite you to immerse yourself in the authentic charm of farm life through our U-Pick Orchard experiences. Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Green Bluff, Washington, our family-owned and operated farm spans 20 acres of lush orchards, offering a seasonal bounty ripe for the picking.
Seasonal Harvests Await:
Spring (April to Mid-June): As the orchard awakens, our fields begin to flourish. While early spring produce is still maturing, visitors can enjoy our open store, indulge in delightful food offerings, and explore the scenic beauty of Green Bluff. The barnyard buzzes with family-friendly activities, including two playgrounds, a petting zoo featuring our beloved cow Domino, goats, pigs, bunnies, and chickens, as well as the ever-popular cow train ride. May brings the vibrant Blooms on the Bluff and our cherished Mother’s Day Brunch, celebrating the season’s renewal.
Early Summer (June): The arrival of June heralds the Strawberry & Rhubarb Season. While we specialize in U-Pick and pre-picked rhubarb, perfect for your culinary creations, we also provide insider tips on the best spots in Green Bluff to pick luscious strawberries.
Mid-Summer (July): July is synonymous with our delightful Cherry Festival. Our orchards burst with Bing, Rainier, and Pie cherries, available for U-Pick daily as they reach peak ripeness. Early varieties often become available in late June, with the prime harvest typically commencing in the first week of July. Remember, the deeper the hue, the sweeter the Bing cherry.
Late Summer to Early Fall (Late July through September): Celebrate the sweetness of summer during our Peach Festival. Indulge in big, juicy, tree-ripened peaches, perfect for fresh eating or as the star ingredient in ice creams, cakes, and pies. Our U-Pick dahlia and flower garden also flourishes during this time, offering a vibrant array of blooms until the first frost, with stems priced at just $1 each.
Fall (Mid-September through October): Autumn brings the much-anticipated Harvest Festival. Starting the second weekend in September, our U-Pick pumpkin patch opens, offering a variety of pumpkins and squash. The orchard comes alive with the aroma of pumpkin donuts, caramel apples, and the crisp taste of Honeycrisp apples and pears. Weekends feature family fun, craft and vendor fairs, and live music, making it the perfect time to relish the crisp weather and create lasting memories. Our apple varieties include Jonathans, Empire, Zestar, Honeycrisp, Macintosh, Gravenstein, Gingergold, Roma, and many more.
