Love this charming farm stand that has fresh fruit and produce, based on what their partner farms…read moreare harvesting. Plus organic, free range eggs, micro green salad, frozen local ground beef and meat, jams, local honey, vinegars, and an assortment of fresh baked goods. Beautiful bouquets of fresh cut flowers, too. They even have craft hard cider! It's the perfect little market to pick up the freshest ingredients for your weekly meal planning. And the owner is so friendly and helpful! Seeing a post on Facebook, I had to stop by. After one visit, Alpenglow has become my regular stop for the most delicious fresh eggs and produce. The first time I was there, it was a sunny 80 degree early fall day, and after checking out the beautiful and inviting back patio, I had to stay for a delicious hard cider. It was so peaceful sitting out back, watching the chickens roam, her little girls laughing and jumping in the trampoline, and the beautiful view of Hood River Valley. There are even baby goats for the kids to enjoy. Or adults like me who adore goats! Alpenglow partners with other local farmers to ensure they are providing the freshest fruit and produce at competitive prices. Fruit varies depending on what is in season - Albion strawberries, blueberries, Asian pears, a variety of apples, fresh corn, Italian plums, chanterelle mushrooms, onions, black garlic, pumpkins, roasted pumpkin seeds, grapes, pears, and tomatoes - just to name a few from my recent visit! Blossom Baking provides homemade s'mores kits - the chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers all made from scratch! Plus cookies, hand pies and regular size pies. New this month is chicken pot pies! They are conveniently located right across the street from WAAM (Western Antique Aeroplane & Automotive Museum) on Rucker Road. Just pull in the driveway and the farm stand is in the building in the far left. Plenty of parking, just drive slow and watch out for the chickens! Currently open Friday-Sunday 10:00-6pm, Tuesdays-Thursday 12:00-6pm. Follow them on FB to see what items are available and any changes to their days/hours. Support local farmers! And enjoy the freshest, healthiest food at the best prices.

The family was very kind and informative about their farm with superb customer service. We ended up bringing $130 worth of cherries, which was very worth it to my family and I.

Their orchards are on the hills and some areas are steep so know that before you go. The views from their hills are spectacular! Reminds me of the rolling hills and vineyards of Tuscany. The trees are bursting with cherries and it's so easy to fill a bucket in no time. On the day I visited recently, the dark black-purple Titans were ripe and so sweet. For $2.25 a pound, they are worth every penny! I picked 10 pounds and gifted bags to my friends. They supply buckets and I brought my own bags to dump them in. Workers are friendly. Cherries the sweetest. Views incredible. 5 stars all the way! Located 60 minutes from Portland, it's a beautiful ride. So much to do in the Gorge so spend the day there after you pick cherries. Oh, and wear a hat as the sun is strong!

Additionally, they have two huge covered tents with dozens and dozens of talented artists and craftspeople selling their incredible and unique items. Covering a plethora of art mediums, you can find gorgeous hand blown glass, unique jewelry, wood sculptures and charcuterie boards (including utensils and serving pieces) lots of colorful and pastel ceramics and earthenware, photography of the PNW in many sizes, clothing and scarves, leather goods and accessories and much more. Lots of food vendors, too, with delicious sweet treats, cured meats, pepper jellies and jams, decadent chocolate and coffee to name a few. Live music all weekend and lots of food trucks in the area outside of the tents. And local fruit from farms along Hood River's famous fruit loop. There are so many varieties of apples and pears and you can fill a bag or basket with all types. Pumpkins, gourds and fall flowers like mums and ornamental cabbage are also for sale. Last year I spent over two hours in the craft area taking my time, walking up and down the aisles and then deciding on what gifts I would buy myself and others. I bought two water color prints that I framed and matted, both have views of Mt. Hood, my favorite Mountain! I love wood and picked up several Arcadia serving utensils and small cheese knives and spreaders and a vase. The earrings i purchased have so much movement and I wear them constantly. The treats disappeared quickly as did the large bags of apples I bought to make apple pies for the holidays. Located in the event area down by the river, make a day of it and watch the wind surfers, grab a bite to eat, visit the shops downtown and even go wine or cider tasting. It's fall, y'all, and this is the event that kicks it off! Held annually from Friday afternoon through Sunday at 5pm, I look forward to it every year and more and more friends come with me! Visit the website for dates and hours. For 2022, the Hood Eiver Harvest Valley Festival is Oct 7-9. Parking is on street and plentiful - most areas are free so look for those areas. Also a paid lot. Earlier is better (10am-noon) if you don't want to shop with crowds. See you there!

They are perfect for snacking, making pies, jams, and jellies. The orchard is relatively flat, making it so easy to walk amongst the trees. There are no hills to climb, just easy access to the trees and cherries! They have dwarf trees, so cherries are within reach for everyone, even the kids. This is a family owned business, and they welcome families to the farm. They have a petting zoo, tractor rides, and a picnic area. Dogs on leashes are welcome. Located in Mosier, which is just one exit past Hood River (exit 69 on I-84), the best cherries are from this area. Mosier is a high dessert, so it gets lots of sun on their open fields and hills. The scenery is breathtaking with views of Mt. Adams in the distance. At just $2.50 a pound, grab a bucket and pick away! Piatt Famiky Farm is just 1.6 miles from the exit, up on Carroll Road. They are open Friday-Sunday, 9am to 6pm, while cherry season lasts.

There are some goats in the back and a really good photo of the mountain there. There are seating outside where you can relax. A picture with the tractor is also in the back for attractions.

What is unique and what I love best, is the orchard is on flat land. No hills to climb, just easy, peasy access to the delicious fruit. This family owned business is great for families, too. They have a shaded area with picnic tables and even a few hammocks where you can rest or picnic afterwards. Perfect way to make a morning or afternoon visiting this beautiful orchard. They supply the buckets and the trees are just steps from where you park and they are bursting with cherries. And right at arm level! The varieties are intermixed so in a small space, and in just 15 minutes, you can easily pick 8 pounds. Sounds like a lot but if you are gifting or baking, they go fast. I like to eat them as is! Prices were $2 a pound which is phenomenal. I gave them a few extra dollars because I most definitely sampled as I picked! The charming small town of Mosier is just 60 minutes from downtown Portland. The drive through the Columbia Gorge is breathtaking. Once you take the Mosier exit, there are signs pointing you to Lopez Farms and other cherry orchards on the same street. Cherry season is last week of a June-July so don't miss it! Make a day of it. Pick cherries, have a picnic, then get coffee at Randonne on Main Street in Mosier. Take a ride up to Rowena Crest for more spectacular views of the Columbia River and a hike. Visit Hood River or the many waterfalls along I-84. So much to do!

Just follow the clear signs along the road. The second time we picked 10 lbs. of cherries to bring home to Texas for friends and family.

You can bring them in your carry on bag or in checked luggage (within the US, except Puerto Rico) The Lopez family is very friendly and they have beautiful and well kept orchards. You will love the views! We are so thankful that they allow the public to tour it.

We took the short drive over and were again greeted with an entire table full of samples, just like at the Bakery. And this table even had some stuff they didn't have at the other location like pretzels and peanut butter. In terms of items for sale, the Farm is basically the same as the Bakery. But as a bonus, there's an actual farm behind it, and more importantly, baby goats! Now, I don't know anything about all the attractions for kids here, but I really enjoyed walking around the goat enclosure, having them follow me around begging for food! I didn't end up buying anything here, but I'll be returning for sure, next time armed with a cooler to pick up a strawberry cream pie. Note: There was no admission fee when we visited. I think they only charge money in the fall.
