Welcome to Fruit Basket Orchards, the only full-service U-Pick orchard in western Colorado.
Greetings to our customers,
Friday and Saturday (Sept 13-14) we will have apples, grapes, elderberries and peaches for u-pick. With some apples and peaches available in the store for those who don’t want to pick. We also have dried fruit, jams, honey, and goat milk lotions and soap from a local producer, as well as a book by a local author.
Different varieties of apples and grapes continue to ripen while peaches and elderberries are winding down. Apple varieties include Golden delicious, early Fuji, Cortlands, Jonathan and maybe some others. In the store we still have Gala, Honeycrisp, Golden Del, Cortland and Fuji.
Concord grapes are ready to be picked with plenty of bunches to choose from. Three seedless varieties are also available which are all very tasty for after school or any time snacks.
Peaches are winding down. Next week will probably be our last weekend for u-pick peaches. There should be a few boxes available in-store; while supplies last.
With the weather getting cooler, this should be a good time for picking fruit, we look forward to seeing you in the orchard.
Our motto is “strive to grow the most delicious, enjoyable, fruit available” and if it grows on our property, we’ll let you pick and take it home. We grow a little bit of everything, including all your favorite stone fruit (peaches, sweet cherries, tart cherries, nectarines, apricots, plums), raspberries (they are planted), plus 18 varieties of apples. We also grow table grapes and a few pears.
The store address is 253 32-1/2 Road, Grand Junction, CO 81503 or give us a call at (970) 434-3063. We accept all major credit cards.
