When we went in August the only fruits that we could pick was doughnut peaches and blueberries, because the apples were not ready to be picked and the pears had a little more time before they were for eating.

The setting is so quaint with the farm stand right next to the orchard. Huge crates of ripe and almost ripe apples and pears. I bought several of 3 varieties of apples and a few pears and it came to $2.25. Truly! At a different fruit stand, one apple or pear was $1.50. They take credit cards but I always bring cash which I know they appreciate. Natalie is one of the owners and she is delightful. Located a few minutes off OR-35, definitely visit while out doing the Fruit Loop or wine and cider tasting. Plenty of parking in their lot.

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.

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!]

What could be better than picking cherries and berries with stellar views of snow capped Mt. hood?…read moreYes, that's rhetorical. Haha. cherrie and berrie picking and eating are one of summers delights! Montavons Berries is further up north in the Fruit Loop, #19, and in the same area as Grateful Vineyards and Mt. View Orchards. Plan a stop at all three and it's a worthy destination. Pick fruit at Montavons and Mt. view Orchards then have a pizza and hard cider, beer or wine on a picnic table at Grateful Vineyards. Mt. hood stands proud as the backdrop at all three places. The first crop to arrive are the cherries and they have several varieties. Bing are the most common and I love them so I always buy several pounds. Have to also get the golden and sweet Ranier cherries, too. And if they have the Sandra Rose, you must try! They have a darker glossier skin, red black in color, and are the sweetest of them all! As the season continues they have several types of blueberries and Willamette raspberries. Both delicious and easy to pick. The fields are layed out on flat land with plenty of space between rows. It is very sunny so wear a sun hat or cap and definitely put on that sunscreen. you will thank me. This is one of the smaller family run farms which is always my preference. Everyone is so nice and helpful. As soon as June comes around, I visit their website daily to see when the first of the cherries are ready to pick! And I pick and eat my fill! Til next year...

The fruit stand has some of the most diverse apple fruits I've seen in a while...Apple and pear names I've never heard of before. I like that they give them ratings of how tart or sweet they are. I found that helpful. They also sell a variety of fruit-related products, honey, jams, souvenirs, etc. I found items more affordable here compared to other farms we visited on the fruit loop tour. The checkout lines can be long, but at least they move fast. They had 5 Checkout stations during my visit. They also had $10 apple cider tasting and a food truck selling bbq pulled pork and other meats. They also have a kids play area + a u-pick location. We didn't do the u-pick and got all our fruits at the fruit stands. We got a lot of fruit here and I'd recommend this place if you want to taste all sorts of interesting apple varieties.

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.
