The best part is - as you'd expect from the Yakima Valley - it's totally laid back! Located about 2 miles from the main drag in Wapato and a mile or so off Lateral A, is this 20 acre garden of blueberry eden! A giant "Blueberries" sign and some arm flailing tube gents (wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men for the family guy aficionados among us!) greet you from the street. Parking is available along the road coming in or next to the main building up on your right. After arriving in the main area, just off to your left is a small building where the folks who work here and hang out. Everyone is very nice and got a set up with buckets, harnesses and directions to the different types of blueberries. There are 4 or 5 different kinds of blueberries available and while a distinguishing palate may detect subtle differences, we felt like they were all just amazing! There's truly nothing better than picking fruit right off of the plant and being able to eat it or take it home! After we finish picking about 12 pounds of different blueberries, we went in to check out the fabled Sorbetto! As the name would suggest, it's a cross between sorbet and gelato. It comes in four different flavors currently and they have two available here in general. What we didn't know, is that they actually produce the stuff on site and it's a commercially available product in Seattle, Portland and Yakima! While we were enjoying this amazingly creamy treat, we got to sit down and chat with the president of the farm. He told us about the process of making the Sorbetto and how the base is not made with Milk, but rather 80% blueberries. The raspberry and blackberry options that we tried were absolutely delicious and it was hard to believe that this majestic cold to treat was dairy free. By the time we left, we had three giant bags of blueberries, full stomach's from both blueberries and Sorbetto, and full hearts from having discovered our new favorite place to get blueberries! This is one of spots that your must try!

We get…read morea small box for our family of three (was two) and we have been so happy to get the best summer fruits in our boxes. First off, their sign-up and pick-up is easy and done online through Farmigo. Their CSA subscription is flexible in that you can put a delivery hold and get credit back. Their customer service is very responsive.... and best of all, you get to enjoy the best summer fruits like cherries, plums, peaches, and nectarines! They do a great job informing you what's in the box, and what's going on at the farm and give you notice when the boxes are delivered to your pick-up location. I appreciate the transparency in their communication. This year, for the first time, they partnered with another farm for berries. We jumped on that since my toddler can consume so many berries. However, maybe due to the weather this year, the berries were quite disappointing in sweetness and size. About three weeks in, my husband and I decided we wouldn't get the berry next summer. Well, Collins Family Orchards sent an email shortly after saying they were not of the quality they were expecting and refunded us for the remainder. I appreciate their proactiveness. It made it so I had more confidence in getting the berries again if it is offered next year.

Shame on Collins Family…read moreOrchards for having such poor selection in fruit and actually selling sub quality fruit today at the Lake Forest Park Farmers Market. I understand that vendors have to follow COVID restriction guidelines by selecting produce for the customers, but we should be able to trust that quality selections will be made on our behalf. I was buying 1 pound of Rainier cherries today which are $7/lb - not cheap but worth it. Over half of the cherries these two gals selected were spotted, bruised, had those weird little appendages and just looked bad. I couldn't believe it. It left me feeling I couldn't walk away and feel good about this transaction so I was honest and told them these cherries were not good and wanted to exchange for the other cherries which were big, juicy and healthy looking. They were rude and wanted me to take the discards with me since I had *touched* them. Maybe they can't resell them because they've been touched by a customer, but seriously, they shouldn't have been selling those anyway - they were discards to begin with. I will NEVER buy from this vender again and I suggest that you double check the quality before you walk away from the stand.

Adeleine this past weekend when we finally came up specifically for the market. End of the day, we very much enjoyed ourselves! The Market is held downtown and takes up roughly 2 city blocks. There's a nice mix of fruit and produce, artisan crafts, and fun foods and beverages. Well the selection was good, I was surprised that there weren't more farmers up this direction. There were a few berry farms, a couple of the big ones from the Yakima Valley, but overall I think there were fewer than down at the Yakima farmers market. It definitely did not leave us wanting however. After walking the entire place a couple times, we found a couple of things we didn't know we needed, and found what was probably the best shrimp taco we've had since we got back. They also had some great coffee, a couple dessert places and a solid groups making some legit cheese dip (we got the jalapeño one!) This is a solid farmers market in an eclectic little city, that does a great job of doing exactly what you would expect from such a place. Good food, good produce, and good ancillary stuff. It's worth checking out and easy to spend a few hours at!
