This little slice of Heaven is a must visit for anyone in the area and for those looking to visit Hood River on and partake in all this beautiful area has to offer. Extra bonus, it's not crowded! Located right off of Highway 30, there is plenty of parking. No admission to visit. Just $10 to clip yourself a bouquet, they provided the clippers. There is a charming farm store where you can buy various lavender products like essential oils and soaps and lavender themed gifts. They even provide blankets and umbrellas to borrow for those wishing to sit in the fields for a picnic. Don't worry, the bees won't bother you. They are busy doing their bee thing; pollinating is way more important than you! Lots of white Adirondack chairs amongst the lavender for those photo ops! The Columbia Gorge Crepes food truck is there serving delicious and hearty sweet and savory crepes. There are plenty of picnic tables in the shade to enjoy the crepes or a picnic you brought from home. Visit before the word gets out about this hidden gem! I believe they are only open on weekends while lavender is in bloom (July), so do check their website for dates and times.

The setting is so quaint with the farm stand right next to the orchard. Huge crates of ripe and almost ripe apples and pears.

They take credit cards but I always bring cash which I know they appreciate. Natalie is one of the owners and she is delightful.

Back in California, you'd have to pay just to even park at somewhere like this. There was plenty of parking available when we came on a Saturday afternoon.

They also have a cute little ice cream stand where you can get lavender ice cream and lavender lemonade. I'm not a big lavender fan in my food but the ice cream was actually quite refreshing, especially in the warm sun! Because this farm is up in the hills, it seemed a lot warmer and less windy up here. They have a lot of outdoor seating and some outdoor games like cornhole so it makes for a great place to hang out. The shack in the middle has drinks and charcuterie boards to buy. This was a nice way to spend a couple of hours in the afternoon.

This is a third generation farm - their grandparents immigrated from Japan in the early 1900s. It's almost 300 acres and they've got apples, pears, peaches, cherries, berries, and probably more. The farmstand is open July through November. They've got a pick your own/U-pick options. They specialize in growing over 150 different varieties of apples, pears, cherries, and stone fruit. Their website is pretty up-to-date on which fruit are available at any given time. I really enjoyed stopping into the marketplace for a wide selection of pre-picked fruits, some of which had samples available. They were priced by weight and I was very pleased with the cost in the end ($12 for so many apples!).
