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 but it starts out as Johnson Avenue on Bishop Blvd (so you might want to try both Johnson Road and Johnson Avenue in your GPS locator). See detailed directions below.
Already picked Apple and Italian plum sales will continue Fridays and Saturdays in October, November and December (not winter break)
Protocols for fruit sales during COVID 19 restrictions are in place so we will be able to conduct sales as long as we adhere to the following procedures:
1) social distancing of 6 feet or more
2) wearing a cloth face covering or mask
3) allowing us to bag your fruit for you
4) We cannot use recycled bags or your personal cloth bags. We have new bags on site that we must use instead.
5) We will still accept cash, check or card for payment.
Our sales table will be set up in the overhead doorway and you will only be allowed to approach the table one person at a time and direct us as to which fruit you want us to put into a clean new bag for you.
Hours Saturday = 10:00 am to 4:00 pm
$1.00/pound for more than 20 pounds
$0.75/pound for more than 10 pounds

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.
