If you're in Mount Hood area on a beautiful sunny day, then the Gorge White House is a great option…read moreto hangout in the lovely garden. They have a small parking lot in front, so I can see how it could be a crowded mess on the weekends. Luckily I went on a weekday so it wasn't an issue. You order wine or cider or beer inside and then enjoy the garden. The garden is also dog friendly so you'll see a few pups out there. There's a food truck that has burgers and flatbreads. It seemed to be really slow, so you should definitely not be hungry. I got the blueberry sausage flatbread, mostly out of curiosity. It was interesting with the sweet and salty flavoring having blueberries mixed with ground sausage and cheese, but not sure I was sold on it. Still, the rose I had in the sun made the whole experience enjoyable.

Pearl's Place is a six minute drive out of Hood River. It is a five generation family farm that…read moreoffers apple/pear/peach/cherry/plum picking, seasonal berries, pumpkin patches, a cornhole league, Christmas trees, and more. It is a great option for U-Pick, especially for kids, and they are dog-friendly (on leash of course). Speaking of kid-friendly, they have a little playground and a straw bale maze. There are great photo opportunities and wonderful views of Mt Adams on a clear day. Their farm stand features all the locally made goodies you could want, and there is a resident cat. Don't skip the Gorge Glacier - apple cider slush, caramel, vanilla soft serve, and whipped cream. Easy parking, lot on gravel. Portapotty only.

We browsed the stand and opted to get a Black Mamba Watermelon, Pluerries, and Peaches. Their card machine was down so they were only accepting Venmo and cash. The sign for this wasn't visible until we got to the register. They should have had a sign near the entrance, so people are aware before shopping.

Another great find! Treebird is a small, organic market carrying local fruit, veggies and…read moresustainable meat from the area which is known for all of this. I love that they support the local supply chain and make it convenient for locals and visitors to purchase all of these items at one place. In addition to local fruits, veggies, meat and fish, they have some pantry staples. Even a bulk area with flours, grains, and spices. So convenient! They even have a fresh juice bar, kombucha on tap, coffee and tea, and some lunch items like vegan soup and pizza. Don't miss the fresh loves of bread and baguettes from White Salmon Bakery in the counter. Wish they carried some of their pastries! Located right off exit 65 on I-84 (highway 35), it's an easy stop for those living in Hood River, Mosier or White Salmon. Plus visitors who are out exploring trails, the fruit loop and vineyards. Treebird is in the same parking lot as Tum-A-Lum Lumber and they have seats outside if you want to get lunch and eat there.

Cute little farm to souvenir store. This was somewhere between an orchard gift shop and high end…read moresouvenir shop. I was looking for something like Apple Hill in California. I know there are a ton of great farms and orchards in Oregon, so I started my explorations here. I'd read that they have a mean marionberry shake. When I got there, I saw that, for a dollar more, they also had huckleberry. I'm not sure if I've ever tried huckleberry, so I wasn't sure if I would even like it as much as marionberry, which is my favorite. So I picked marionberry, and it was bomb. Although it was on the expensive side for $8.99, it was pretty good. I also purchased a marionberry peach turnover for $5, and thought that was just okay. I loved their selection of high end jams and syrups. They have so many artisan products that would make great mother's day gifts. The girl who helped me was really friendly and made my milkshake right away. She gave me a free map of the Fruit Loop, which is Oregon's chain of fruit orchards with gift shops. Can't wait to explore more of those.

Their prices are pretty crazy - over $50 for a jar of pie filling! But some of the other things aren't bad, like warm/fresh apple turnovers for $8. Again, I wish they'd do more here like make apple butter outside, do events, etc. I'm sure I'll be back, but it always leaves me wanting for more.

Beautiful flowers - cosmos, bluebells, California poppies and more - surround you as you relax into the sunny fall day. The gift shop has dried flowers hanging from the ceiling, home decor items, gifts, and other things that make it a charming little stop on the Hood River Fruit Loop. The young woman at the register was friendly and helpful. [Pear Bloom has a new location (as of a couple of years ago) and it didn't show up in Yelp. I contacted the Yelp team with an update and it is now correctly shown. I wondered why there hadn't been any reviews since 2023!]
