Mt View Orchards

Copy Link

This Parkdale, Oregon orchard recently skyrocketed into national fame, after Top Chef contestants picked fruit from the trees to make a savory fruit dish on Season 18. That being said, Katrina McAlexander and her family have farmed this 50-acre apple and pear orchard for more than fifty years. Through the season, visitors pick summer flowers, stonefruit, and cherries, before transitioning into fall apples, pears, and pumpkins. Even outside the world of u-pick fruit, Mt. View has plenty of activities for visitors. Drinkers flock to sip McAlexander’s wine, cider, and beer at her onsite tasting room and brewery. Families dine on wood-fired pizza ranging from plain cheese to Mt View Orchard pear with Bosc pear slices, gorgonzola cheese, and bacon. And on fall Saturdays, kids line up for hayrides during peak harvest festival season.

Albeke Farms

Copy Link

For 40 years, this family farm in Oregon City has grown strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, marionberries, peaches, apples, corn, tomatoes, and more. A cold spring prevented pollination and damaged branches so apples aren’t abundant this year, but peaches ripened late this year, which means Albeke’s popular Veteran peaches may be available into September. Call ahead for current u-pick availability, and bring boxes for carrying fruit home.

Bells Orchard

Copy Link

Honey crisp, Fuji, Gravenstein, Jonagold, Gala, and Winesap apples fill the 1,300 trees at Bells Orchard in Beaverton. U-pickers don’t need ladders to grab fruit from the short trees here, including kids, which makes Bells a smart choice for families. The season starts with Gravenstein in late August to Braeburn in late October. Late August pickers may be able to snag some of the last peaches of the season, as well.

Mason Hill Orchard

Copy Link

This off-the-beaten-track u-pick orchard in North Plains is a nice spot for u-pick, minus the crowds. A wet spring delayed the apple crop at this family-friendly orchard 18 miles west of Portland; cool temperatures during blossom time kept the bees away and led to less pollination. Nonetheless, this tri-county orchard will have Gravenstein, Honey crisp, Jonagold, and Melrose apples to pick this fall.

Jossy Farms

Copy Link

Peter Jossy founded Jossy Farm in 1885, and the Jossy family continues to grow peaches, apples, pears, walnuts, and hazelnuts on their 195-acre Hillsboro farm. Apples and pears will run short this year, but the Jossy family will open the farm for u-pick apples on August 25. Updates will be posted on the website and available on a recorded phone line. Apple varieties include Gravenstein, Early Gold, and Red Clapp.

Draper Girls Country Farm

Hood while visiting with the petting zoo and picnic area, before heading to the farm store stocked with local preserves, Draper Girls cider, freezer packs of grass-fed sheep, goats, and hogs, fresh fruit, antiques, and curios.

Beilke Family Farm
