Welcome to Fruit Basket Orchards, the only full-service U-Pick orchard in western Colorado.
Peaches are on, and they are delicious. Several varieties will be available; I had one in my cereal, and it was so good. They will be available in the store and on the trees for u-pick.
There are some cherries left and it is time to sell them or bottle them. I had some today they are firm and sweet. If you want some of what’s left, $1/lb.
In the store freshly made jam will be available. Honey, dried apples, dried peaches, sourdough bread and other good stuff will also be available in the store.
As a reminder there is a new 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.
