We visited Packer Orchards & Bakery as one of the stops on the Hood River Fruit Loop in early May…read more You know what gets me into a store? Samples! This place has tons of them, basically all of their products, all on a table right in front of the store. Before even taking a step inside, I had basically filled myself with jams, butters, and pickles! We ended up only buying an empanada on this trip, although I was sorely tempted at filling my entire pantry with their jams and jellies, not to mention their pies... If only we had a cooler with us... Huckleberry Empanada ($6.50) - Their huckleberry jam is the best of the ones I've tried. Other places in Oregon, on the Fruit Loop and off, have a dried fruit kind of taste or lean musty in flavor. This one has full bodied huckleberry flavor that's quite fresh. It may be due to them using a different variety of huckleberry? Anyways, it's filled inside an expertly baked outer crust that holds the filling in well and adds some buttery crisp, pie crust like texture. I really enjoyed my visit to Packer Orchards & Bakery. Out of the 7 or 8 stops we made on the Fruit Loop, this, along with their farm location, ended up being my favorite by far.

After an afternoon of cherry picking, we stopped by this place to see what they had for their farm…read morestore as we were headed out from Hood River. They had a lot of jelly, jam, pickled, salsa, and other tasty samples outside and inside the store. If you go further in, they have seasonal fruit smoothies and fruit milkshakes (peach). My friend and I got one of each. They also have a selection of local ice cream flavors too.

My big beef is they are always out of something Usually the in house made delicious chips seem to run out frequently!! I do not understand this. Make loads of them each day. Potatoes are cheap!! Guacamole is another item the run out of. Two easy fix items that would have changed my rating to 4 stars

Their breakfast burritos are fabulous, really loaded with eggs, potatoes and chorizo. Easily two meals for me! My friend had the tamales and said they were legit. Service is friendly and as fast as it can be based on making food fresh when you order. They are open everyday (except Sunday) from 10-4pm. They have a shaded tented spot if you want to eat there. Next to Ayala is an empanada food cart so pick up some sweet or savory empanadas while you are here.

Little did I know that this gem of a place would be where I'd find myself. I was surprised by the weather, surprised by the drive, surprised by the toll bridge, surprised by the parking, surprised by the quality of the coffee, food, and pastry, surprised by the woman whose truck I jump started, surprised by the words of encouragement scribbled all over the restroom walls, surprised by the beauty of it all. Surprised that I found those fleeing feelings of gratitude again. Thank you, Lord, for these beautiful surprises.

All the meats and bones typical to a Mexican dinner table at good prices. The bakery (panaderias) here has all the classics like concha, empanadas, piggies, bolillos, etc. The hot food section has a variety of tasty looking meats stewing away, such as barbacoa, carnitas, chicken, nopales. They also serve hot tamales, sopes, enchiladas, burritos, Chile relleni, taquitos, soups, shrimp cebicbe, salsas, champurrado and more! Their plate and family meals are a crazy good deal. Admittedly, the hit food left something to be desired but for the price and service, can't really complain. (The tamale I got was a bit dry and needed a but more flavor, but it was toward evening and each tamale was hefty for $2 a piece. Rice and beans hit the spot.) The lady serving our food was very nice too. Sad that this place selling legit pumpkin empanadas is so far away from home but I'd happily go back here for more empanadas and grocery shopping again.
