This certified organic Hood River orchard with views of Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood is home to decade-plus-year-old apple trees yielding Honeycrisp and Gala apples, and is one of the few spots that offers U-pick every day of the week. Chickens roam the farm while families pop by the petting zoo to visit the goats and pigs post-apple picking. The farm provides ladders, buckets, and bags for U-pickers. Hood River U-Pick’s website and Facebook page provide updated information. The farm also encourages guests to pack their own lunch to eat at the on-site picnic tables.
