Green Bluff Fruit Picking Schedule: Your Season-by-Season Guide
Spring and Early Summer: Berry Season Begins
The fruit picking season in Green Bluff, WA, located just north of Spokane, Washington, kicks off in June with sweet, juicy strawberries. Siemers Farm, Hidden Acres and Walter’s Fruit Ranch typically offer some of the first U-pick strawberries of the season. The strawberry season can start as early as mid-May and usually lasts through early July, depending on weather conditions.
Mid-Summer: Cherry and Berry Bonanza
By late June and early July, Green Bluff’s beloved cherry season begins. Cherries are a major attraction during the annual Cherry Pickers’ Trot, where farms like High Country Orchard, Walters’ Fruit Ranch, and Beck’s Harvest House offer both sweet and pie cherries for picking. Some farms also offer raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries through August too.
Late Summer: Stone Fruit Paradise
July and August bring peaches, nectarines, and apricots. Beck’s Harvest House and High Country Orchard are popular destinations for peach picking, as well as Eleven Acres Farm. By late August, early apple varieties begin to ripen, overlapping with the end of peach season. This is also when you’ll find fresh plums at several Green Bluff farms.
What about a change of pace from the typical fruit? How about some lavender? Blackbird Pines Lavender Farm has u-pick lavender or pre-made products.
Fall: Apple Festival and Pumpkin Season
The famous Green Bluff Apple Festival runs through September and October, featuring dozens of apple varieties across multiple farms. Many farms have wagon ride tours and late season apple picking opportunities in addition to pear picking.
October brings the popular pumpkin season, with farms like Beck’s Harvest House, Eleven Acres, and Knapp’s U-Pick Farm offering pumpkin picking, corn mazes, and fall festivities. The Green Bluff Grange hosts special events throughout the harvest season, bringing together local growers and visitors.
Winter: Christmas Trees and Winter Activities
While fruit picking season winds down, many Green Bluff farms transition to Christmas trees in late November and December. Farms like Sunset Orchard and Legacy Farm offer cut-your-own Christmas trees and winter activities.
