It spans several hills and there are two entry point locations. One on Root Oqd and one on Carroll. Check their website which will tell you which cherries are ripe and ready to pick, and at which location. So helpful! While the orchard is really huge, picking is easy because you can drive through the rows of trees and park right near where you want to pick. This makes it super convenient and easy. The fields are flat which is another thing I appreciate. Just be careful walking around as there are sprinkler heads and other things you can trip over. Yes, I'm telling you this from experience! Ouch. Mosier definitely has the best cherries!! And the best prices. At $2.00-$2.50 a pound, they are far cheaper than those on the Hood River Fruit loop. Drive one exit past Hood River (exit 69) to the town of Mosier and within minutes you are at Root Farms and several other cherry farms. The ride to Mosier is beautiful as the Columbia River widens and the basalt cliffs on the Washington side are gorgeous. Since I'm here all the time, I pick at several each season to support local.

What is unique and what I love best, is the orchard is on flat land. No hills to climb, just easy, peasy access to the delicious fruit. This family owned business is great for families, too. They have a shaded area with picnic tables and even a few hammocks where you can rest or picnic afterwards. Perfect way to make a morning or afternoon visiting this beautiful orchard. They supply the buckets and the trees are just steps from where you park and they are bursting with cherries. And right at arm level! The varieties are intermixed so in a small space, and in just 15 minutes, you can easily pick 8 pounds. Sounds like a lot but if you are gifting or baking, they go fast. I like to eat them as is! Prices were $2 a pound which is phenomenal. I gave them a few extra dollars because I most definitely sampled as I picked! The charming small town of Mosier is just 60 minutes from downtown Portland. The drive through the Columbia Gorge is breathtaking. Once you take the Mosier exit, there are signs pointing you to Lopez Farms and other cherry orchards on the same street. Cherry season is last week of a June-July so don't miss it! Make a day of it. Pick cherries, have a picnic, then get coffee at Randonne on Main Street in Mosier. Take a ride up to Rowena Crest for more spectacular views of the Columbia River and a hike. Visit Hood River or the many waterfalls along I-84. So much to do!

Just follow the clear signs along the road. The second time we picked 10 lbs. of cherries to bring home to Texas for friends and family. The Mosier cherries are pretty but the dark red ones are the sweetest. You can bring them in your carry on bag or in checked luggage (within the US, except Puerto Rico) The Lopez family is very friendly and they have beautiful and well kept orchards. You will love the views! We are so thankful that they allow the public to tour it.

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.

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.

It's also very kid- and dog-friendly, which made the visit even more enjoyable since my daughter had her dogs.
