A teaching, research, and extension orchard at Spillman Farm
Support the Horticulture Center

Our Mission and Purpose

The orchard at the WSU Pullman Horticulture Center is for members of the local campus or others to do teaching, research, and/or extension work. If we have surplus fruit or vegetables that will not be used for teaching, research, or extension projects we sell the surplus produce to the general public and apply that money to our operations funds.

Give to immediate needs

Funds donated to the Ronald B. Tukey Memorial Fund go for immediate needs of the Horticulture Center.

Give to longterm needs

Funds donated to the Ronald B. Tukey Memorial Endowment will increase the endowment used to sustain the Horticulture Center.

Fruit Sales at the Horticulture Center

Fruit sales at the Horticulture Center run seasonally; typically every Friday and Saturday from late-September to Thanksgiving, then on Fridays through January. Due to staffing changes we do not anticipate Fall 2026 Fruit Sales.
