Welcome to Fruit Basket Orchards, the only full-service U-Pick orchard in western Colorado.
Something happened to our buyer and he is not able to buy the bulk of our cherries, so we are going to pass that lower price on to our customers. This weekend and maybe the next one too, any quantity, $3.50/pound. If you want to freeze cherries, can cherries or anything else, this is the weekend to buy them. While supplies last. If you can’t make it in, give us a call and we will see what we can do.
For those of you that have been waiting for peaches, they are on. We will have two varieties, PF-1 and early red haven. Apricots are also ripe, this is the weekend for all three fruits with in-store and u-pick available.
Also in-store, honey, dried apples, dried peaches, cherry and apricot jam, and some Soapy Goat products, available.
As a reminder about the irrigation system, be careful not to step on the black pipe or sprinklers and the trimmings from pruning were mulched, leaving lots of partially mulched sticks. Protect your toes with closed toed shoes.
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.
