Welcome to Fruit Basket Orchards, the only full-service U-Pick orchard in western Colorado.
Sept. 24 – This week plums, peaches, apples and grapes will be available. Apples and peaches are ready for picking.
You pick apples include Red Chief, Super Chief, there are still a few Jonagold and Rome. The peaches on the trees are still a little firm but we will let those pick them that want them.
A wide variety of apples will be available in the store, including: Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, Red Chief, Super Chief, Granny Smith and Roman Beauty.
Grapes are not as plentiful but are still on the vine and ready to be picked. The concords look pretty good, but small.
As always, lots of good stuff in the store. Freshly made jam will be available, honey, dried peaches and sourdough bread.
Be careful around the new irrigation system and the trimmings from pruning which were mulched this year; 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.
