It is a great option for U-Pick, especially for kids, and they are dog-friendly (on leash of course). Speaking of kid-friendly, they have a little playground and a straw bale maze. There are great photo opportunities and wonderful views of Mt Adams on a clear day. Their farm stand features all the locally made goodies you could want, and there is a resident cat. Don't skip the Gorge Glacier - apple cider slush, caramel, vanilla soft serve, and whipped cream. Easy parking, lot on gravel. Portapotty only.

We browsed the stand and opted to get a Black Mamba Watermelon, Pluerries, and Peaches. Their card machine was down so they were only accepting Venmo and cash. The sign for this wasn't visible until we got to the register. They should have had a sign near the entrance, so people are aware before shopping.

I'm not making that mistake again! Dickey's is so worth the stop! Inside is so large and spacious. Lots of bins of fresh produce based on what's in season. Blackberries, peaches, blueberries, apples, corn, various greens, melons, green beans, strawberries to name a few. Plus all your produce staples like onions, potatoes, various salad greens, broccoli, spinach, shallots, lemons, limes, green onions, sweet peppers, hot peppers and more. Many of their their products are jarred for sale. They have several types of jams from local farms. Get the red-sour cherry and the marionberry! Oh, and the fig jam, so good with prosciutto on pizza or a crostini. They have lots of Dickey's pickled veggies, too: beans, garlic, asparagus, carrots, giardena. And so many salsas with various fruit. Don't forget to pick up a jar of local. honey - they have all sizes and the prices can't be beat. Very nice selection of local wines, too! Some of their other customers told me to buy a frozen fruit pie, raving about how they taste homemade. I was tempted, but I wasn't heading straight home so I'll make a special trip for that when I'm entertaining or invited to dinner. They were out of fresh eggs, but I'm glad to know they carry them for when my egg dealer is out. Yes, that's what I call her! LOL. Once you start cooking with fresh eggs, there is no going back. They also have lots of pet and farm animal supplies, perennials and house plants. Plenty of parking out front, make Dickey's a stop anytime you are passing through Bingen on Hwy 14.

The Gorge White House was a fantastic stop on our road trip through the PNW. The grounds are…read moreabsolutely beautiful, with plenty of seating spread throughout different areas so you can relax and enjoy the scenery. We loved the U-pick flower garden--such a fun and unique touch. The drinks were excellent, from refreshing ciders to great wines and beers. Their food truck is a standout, serving some of the best burgers, flatbreads, and sandwiches we've had, and the sides are truly to die for. It's also very kid- and dog-friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable since my daughter had her dogs. If you go, definitely try a burger or sandwich paired with a cider flight--it's the perfect combo! Can't wait to go back.

I ended up getting some jalapeño stuffed olives. These are some of the best I've ever had. The queso blanco was fantastic too! The cheese blend was great. Watch out for the hot salsas, they are HOT (in the best way). I got a hot cider from the coffee bar. It had just the right flavor. We got some donuts too. They were a little bland, but that may have just been that batch. We wandered around outside for a bit, the grounds have a great view, just watch out for the flies! The service here was fantastic too, very helpful! Great service, great food!

I have visited Kiyokawa at farmers markets before (they're at 13 of them!), but this month was the…read morefirst time I went out to their farm in Parkdale, OR. 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!).

They have wagon rides, a big fort for kids, an apple variety tasting, and dozens & dozens of apples and pear varieties for sale. We filled up a box of cosmic crisps to take home, plus loaded up on a bunch of jugs of honey for the year - 3 lbs for $24 is a great deal. I also walked through the orchard and loved that they labeled all the rows of trees so you can see all the many varieties. They had apple cider and apples with caramel sauce as samples while waiting in line. While I'm disappointed that the apple tasting still costs as much as last year, the experience is otherwise great and I'll be back.

If it's not safe i'd rather someone just tell me. This kid wrote down "celiac" 3 different times acted like he understood what celiac was and the precautions. I think received my sandwich and asked if it was the gluten free bread, he looks at me like that was the craziest thing to ask. Takes it back comes back out with the gluten free bread on the same plate and told me to change the bread off the sandwich which is not at all how celiac works. He then took it back a third time after i asked for a refund and told me it was gluten free but it was the same bread as the first time. I know this review won't help everyone but hopefully it'll help someone. I saw a few other people with celiac said it was safe and i'm glad they had a good experience. But I got incredibly sick and it's insane to me that they didn't just tell me no. Will now be sick for 3 days so thanks.
