How U-Pick Works

  1. Park in the designated parking area and stop by the U-Pick tent to get started. Review current fruit availability, choose your bucket or box size, and check today's pricing and picking instructions.
  2. Pick your own fresh organic fruit by following the signs to the designated U-Pick fields.
  3. Return to the U-Pick tent to complete checkout and return your picking supplies. Then relax on the porch, enjoy the views, snack on your fresh-picked fruit, or explore the farm before heading home.

Know Before You Go

No Reservations Needed
Simply stop by the U-Pick tent anytime from dawn to dusk. No reservation or phone call is required. Just arrive, follow the posted instructions, and enjoy picking at your own pace.

Cooling Sprinklers
On especially hot afternoons, overhead cooling sprinklers may occasionally operate between approximately 1:00 PM and 6:00 PM to help protect the fruit. They are weather-dependent and don't follow a fixed schedule, so you may not encounter them at all. For the coolest picking experience, we recommend visiting in the morning or later in the evening.

It's a Working Farm
Depending on when you visit, you may see our crew mowing, maintaining the fields, checking irrigation, or driving through the orchard on ATVs. Give them a smile or wave as you pass. We couldn't grow great fruit without a great team!

Restroom Available
A porta-potty is available on-site near the U-Pick area for your convenience.

Bee Awareness
Honeybees and other pollinators are an important part of our organic farm. Bees are generally focused on flowers rather than people, but please be aware of your surroundings if you have a bee allergy.

First Aid
A basic first aid kit is available at the U-Pick tent if needed.

Stay Connected
Harvest dates and fruit availability can change with the weather. Follow us on social media, subscribe to our newsletter, or check this page for the latest updates before your visit.

Bring Your Camera
The orchard, lavender field, and mountain views make for beautiful photos. We love seeing your U-Pick adventures, so feel free to tag us on social media!

Pick Your Own Organic Blueberries

Experience the satisfaction of picking your own USDA-certified organic blueberries in the beautiful Chelan Valley. Our high-elevation blueberry fields produce exceptionally firm, flavorful berries with the crisp "pop" they're known for. Whether you're filling the freezer, baking pies, or enjoying them fresh by the handful, blueberry season is one of our favorite times of year.

Expected Season:
Late June through September (weather and harvest dependent)

U-Pick Pricing:
Large Bucket (approx. 6 lbs.) - $24
Large 1/2 Bucket (approx. 3 lbs.) - $12
Small Bucket (approx. 2.75 lbs.) - $11
Small 1/2 Bucket (approx. 1.5 lbs.) - $6

Buckets are pre-priced, so there's no weighing required. Simply choose your bucket size, fill it up, and return to the U-Pick tent for checkout.

Picking Tips:
• Follow the pink flags to ripe rows.
• Pick berries that are fully blue.
• If it doesn't come off easily, it's not ripe.
• Leave green berries to ripen.

Good to Know:
On especially hot afternoons, overhead cooling sprinklers may occasionally operate to protect the fruit. They don't follow a fixed schedule, but if you happen to visit during a cooling cycle, think of it as a refreshing break while you pick!

Pick Your Own Organic Cherries

Experience the joy of picking your own organic dark sweet Sweetheart cherries right from the orchard. With their deep burgundy color, crisp texture, and rich, sweet flavor, these cherries are a true taste of summer and one of our shortest harvests of the year.

Expected Season:
Early to mid-July (weather and harvest dependent)

U-Pick Pricing:
Large Bucket (approx. 6 lbs.) - $24
Large 1/2 Bucket (approx. 3 lbs.) - $12
Small Bucket (approx. 2.75 lbs.) - $11
Small 1/2 Bucket (approx. 1.5 lbs.) - $6

No weighing required. Simply choose your bucket size, fill it up, and return to the U-Pick tent for checkout.

Picking Tips:
• Look for the darkest red cherries.
• Hunt beneath the leaves for hidden clusters.
• No ladders provided; please pick only what you can safely reach.
• Give a cherry a gentle twist and taste one to find your favorites!

Good to Know:
Our cherry orchard is located directly across from the U-Pick parking area and tent, making it easy to find. Sweetheart cherries have a short harvest window, so plan your visit early in the season for the best selection.

Pick Your Own Organic Apples

SweeTangos & Honeycrisp!

U-pick Organic SweeTango® and Organic Honeycrisp Apples at the ranch for $2.50/lb. Cardboard boxes will be provided.

The delectable SweeTango is our hands-down farm family favorite, dazzling with the crisp texture of the Honeycrisp and the juiciness of the Zestar. The satisfying crunch gives way to a mouthwatering blast of sweet-tart flavor with a hint of fall spice. It’s the first apple to ripen in our orchard, so you can enjoy it as early as late summer.

Our Farmer Bill and his farm team are known as “The King of Honeycrisp” for a reason! The high-elevation glacier-carved canyons of Lake Chelan are prime farming grounds for this beauty, and our award-winning organic Honeycrisp apples have consistently outperformed others on the marketfor more than 20 years.
