NO 2018 Sweet Cherry Picking.
We are sorry to announce that we will not be opening for sweet cherry picking this season.
The cherries that we have are scattered in the tops of the trees and unable to be picked from the ground.
We don't want our customer driving long distances and being disappointed.
We will make a decision on Sour Cherry Picking after July 1st,
but that may be the same situation.
Check our website, Facebook Page, and phone message for further information on upcoming sour cherry crop.
Thank you.

Nothing tastes better than fresh picked fruit
and there is no better way to get the real fresh picked taste
than to get it right from the orchard.
Our farm has been welcoming generations of
both "local pickers" and "city pickers"
with the delightful experience of
enjoying fresh fruit
directly from the actual sources - our wide variety of apple trees.
No Dogs Please -
We Have Two Puppies at the
Orchard who love people but not other dogs.
Meet Our Orchards
Meet Our Don Baker Farm Family
Dale Baker and Mother Nature are the two elements
that make all the fruit taste better here than anywhere else.
Dale is a third generation grower who
creates and selects each and every piece of fruit -
and you can taste it in every bite.
Mrs. Baker passed away in 2011. She welcomed all our guest pickers for 61 years,
you can absolutely feel her special spirit everywhere at the farm.

He has been farming...forever. Just taste Don Baker Farm fresh fruit for yourself.
Susan Baker is the newest member of the family,
Dale is a very lucky guy, they were married right in the Orchard.

Osmond passed away in 2011
after over a decade of working at the orchard.
He is missed each day and had a unique blend of special skills and talents,
with a quiet calm that showed decades of orchard experience.
He had the world's best smile.
