Beautiful flowers - cosmos, bluebells, California poppies and more - surround you as you relax into the sunny fall day. The gift shop has dried flowers hanging from the ceiling, home decor items, gifts, and other things that make it a charming little stop on the Hood River Fruit Loop. The young woman at the register was friendly and helpful. [Pear Bloom has a new location (as of a couple of years ago) and it didn't show up in Yelp. I contacted the Yelp team with an update and it is now correctly shown. I wondered why there hadn't been any reviews since 2023!]

The prices were very fair, especially considering the high quality of everything. We tried a few different things, but the brisket breakfast sandwich was absolutely next-level--tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of indulgent. We're still thinking about it! Everyone we interacted with was incredibly friendly and kind--several vendors even offered water for our puppy, which was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel even more at home. If you're in Hood River on a market day, don't miss this! Great food, great people, and an awesome way to support local.

I went a couple of weeks ago on a very warm Saturday. After a visit to their neighbor winery Analemma Vineyards, we came to the highly recommended Evan's Fruit Company. I had such a great experience finding and picking cherries from various trees. These beautiful prolific trees grew the most amazing cherries- the best I have ever tasted. It's encouraged that you bring your own bag of packaging to take your bounty home, but don't worry if you aren't prepared, they will give you a bag to take with you. The farm is full of green trees with happy dots of colorful cherries. I loved this experience and would love to return for peaches or something else that they grow depending on the season.

Everything always looks so colorful and gorgeous! Lots of other goodies, too, like delicious baked goods, my kryptonite! I always limit myself to just two items and then round it out with a basket of fresh salad greens, ripe fruit, sugar snap peas and other veggies. Jams, pickled veggies, pepper jelly, local honey, responsibly raised chicken, pork, beef and seafood, oysters - it's all here! Mushrooms, beets, garlic, potatoes, onions, Swiss chard, rhubarb, kale, cabbage, basil, herbs - the list goes on and on. Cheese and olive oil, too. Love all crafts and non-food products, too. One of the vendors makes handmade soaps and lotions. The patterns on the soaps are so pretty and look lovely in my powder room. They smell wonderful and are not drying on my hands. The aprons are also wonderful and come in so many colors and patterns. I've bought several for myself as I'm always cooking and these protect my clothes. I've gifted several as well. Love the handmade birdhouses, so clever! There is jewelry, some carved wood bowls. So many gift items for yourself or a friend. Whenever I drive to the Gorge via the Washington side, which has amazing views of the Columbia, I stop at Stevenson Farmers a market and a few of the shops in town. The Farmers Market is seasonal, Mid June - Mid October on Saturdays from 0am-2pm. I really appreciate that they are open until pm. Plenty of parking. Friendly vendors. Wonderful products. Gorgeous setting.

Third generation, family owned and operated. Tamiyasu Orchards grows outstanding organic peaches, plums, apricots, blueberries, apples, cherries (both sweet and tart), and seedless table grapes. Impressive backstory. In1906 Gunichi Tamiyasu, eighteen years old, left his farming family in Hiroshima, Japan, to board a ship bound for San Francisco. He made his way from California to Oregon, laying track for the railroad, then fell in love with the beauty of Hood River and leased some land and began his orchards. In 1941 after the outbreak of WWII he and his family were taken from their home and forcibly relocated and interned. After the war ended the family returned to Hood River to find their orchards overgrown, their equipment stolen, and every window in their house smashed. Slowly but surely the Tamiyasu family worked their way back. Quality products. Some of the very best fruit available at the PSU Farmers Market.

They have a pond with weeping willows reaching down to a glassy surface full of water lilies. Birds and butterflies are everywhere. They encourage you to bring a camping chair and enjoy the ambience while you're there. It's very different from the usual hot, dusty, open field u-pick experience in Oregon. The wide variety of berries that ripen for many months running are organic and the bushes are lush and very healthy looking. Their prices are lower than most organic u-pick farms and they provide free bags. All proceeds go to the Fistula Foundation that helps women and girls in Uganda where the owners, Linda and Will, make regular trips. Willinda also has African art for sale like baskets and figurines--so beautiful! We look forward to coming here every year, I've brought groups of friends along. It's a not to be missed experience.

This was a breakthrough for my little boy, before coming here, he would refuse to eat blueberries. Now he can't get enough. I puts more in his belly than in the bucket. We go up and down the rows grabbing the darkest berries and at the end we take them up front to the lady in charge and pay for our loot. I always pay a few dollars more than what they tell me, because the twins eat quite a bit while picking the blueberries. Maybe it would be best for them to weigh my twins before and after the picking.
