1) Social distancing of 6 feet or more still preferred.
2) At this time wearing a cloth face covering or mask is required at any indoor venues in Washington State.
3) You will be able to use your recycled bags or your personal cloth bags. We have new bags on site that you can use as well.

Orchard Location
Our location has changed to the WSU Spillman Farm at 1452 Johnson Road. However Johnson Road starts out as Johnson Avenue at its intersection with Bishop Blvd. To get here from HWY 270 get on to Bishop Blvd. Take the second left onto Johnson Avenue (which turns into Johnson Road so you might want to try both names in your GPS locator). Stay straight on Johnson Avenue/Road across the railroad tracks. Just past the 2 mile marker turn left into Spillman Farm. Take the first right to get to our new building at the top of the hill, 400A. We will plant a new orchard on this site.
For the 3-5 years while the new orchard grows we will continue to manage the trees on part of the old site which is still owned by WSU. Our previous entrance at the intersection of Terre View Drive and Airport Road is closed. Our new entrance will be a shared road with other WSU Facilities that will not be accessible to the general public.
