We visited Packer Orchards & Bakery as one of the stops on the Hood River Fruit Loop in early May…read more You know what gets me into a store? Samples! This place has tons of them, basically all of their products, all on a table right in front of the store. Before even taking a step inside, I had basically filled myself with jams, butters, and pickles! We ended up only buying an empanada on this trip, although I was sorely tempted at filling my entire pantry with their jams and jellies, not to mention their pies... If only we had a cooler with us... Huckleberry Empanada ($6.50) - Their huckleberry jam is the best of the ones I've tried. Other places in Oregon, on the Fruit Loop and off, have a dried fruit kind of taste or lean musty in flavor. This one has full bodied huckleberry flavor that's quite fresh. It may be due to them using a different variety of huckleberry? Anyways, it's filled inside an expertly baked outer crust that holds the filling in well and adds some buttery crisp, pie crust like texture. I really enjoyed my visit to Packer Orchards & Bakery. Out of the 7 or 8 stops we made on the Fruit Loop, this, along with their farm location, ended up being my favorite by far.

Mind you, my wife is not a big fan of berry flavored ice cream but after sharing the huckleberry with her, she fell in love with it and to this day she would still talk about it. Hands down the best soft serve I've had so far and not to mention the dairy free option. I also picked up some gems from the record bins and had a good conversation with the couple about jazz. Would definitely go back here when I'm in Portland.

I can't say I have a favorite CG smoothie, because they are all delicious (except maybe the beet and carrot juice blend), but if you were to twist my arm, I would have to crown the Wild Blackberry as most preferred. Aside from flavor, the aspect of the Gorge smoothies I appreciate most is that they are not oversweet - one smoothie containing less than 10% of your RDA for carbs.

I really liked this orchard…read more Living in Portland MAINE, i'm used to some pretty fantastic U-pick experiences and this one was right up there. One awesome feature at Hood River U-Pick that I have never seen in Maine is many picnic tables and hammocks sprinkled throughout the trees. This was an excellent and fantastic feature for young and old alike. It gave the whole experience the feel of a family picnic outing, eating and hanging out together while picking local fruit. There were also singles reading comfortably in the hammocks. Taking the opportunity to commune with the bees and the fruit trees. Nice job Hood River U-pick!

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.
