Draper Girls' Country Farm in Hood River Valley

Pick-your-own fruit at Draper Girls Farm is relaxing and kid-friendly, a chance to enjoy nature and pick sumptuous fruit. All of their apple and peach trees are dwarf trees, so most fruit will be within easy reach. Their website is particularly helpful with tips on how to prepare, what to do when you arrive, and what to do with all that fruit you end up with! Apparently you can keep their apples in your fridge for up to two months -- way longer than the grocery store! Worth it? We think YES.

Kiyokawa Family Orchards in Hood River Valley

Kiyokawa Family Orchards has been growing the finest produce available since 1911. Their orchard is family-owned and operated in Parkdale, Oregon. And yes, of course, they also have a farm store that serves up not only pre-picked fruit from their farm, but also a plethora of local jams, honeys, and fresh cider (and what says "Fall is here!" more than fresh-pressed cider??).
