Orchard Produce
Our new and permanent sales location is in our beautiful new crimson building #400A at Spillman Farm on top of the first hill on the right. The address is 1452 Johnson Road. See detailed directions below.
= $2.50/pound for less than 15 pounds
= $2.00/pound for 15 pounds or more
= $4.50/pound for less than 15 pounds
First Sweet Cherry sales for the 2019 crop will be July 12 & 13, Friday and Saturday.
Hours Friday = 12:00 noon to 6:00pm
Hours Saturday = 10:00am to 4:00pm
This will be our first sale for this season. We will probably continue cherry sales through July and the first weekend in August. Unfortunately we will NOT have any U-pick…..NO U-PICK. Unfortunately our apricot tree blooms froze so no apricots this year. Later in the year we hope to have sales of Shiro and Italian Plums when they ripen in September. Already picked apple sales will begin in October.
Sorry but all of our pear trees and the entire apple varieties block were removed this year so we do not have any pears nor any of the other fun and unusual apple varieties that we used to have. We do hope to grow pears and more apple varieties at our new Tukey Orchard location at Spillman Farm but that will take a few years to get a crop. Thanks for all your support!!!

Orchard Location
Our location will be changing to the WSU Spillman Farm at 1452 Johnson Road. To get there from HWY 270 get on to Bishop Blvd. Take the second left onto Johnson Road. Stay straight on Johnson 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.
