Root Orchards

Root Orchards, located in the beautiful Mosier Valley within the Cascade foothills of the Columbia River Gorge, is an Oregon Century Farm with over 100 acres of sweet cherries. The farm has been in the Root family for five generations, continuing a legacy of cherry farming in one of the most scenic areas of the United States.

The farm emphasizes sustainable stewardship, focusing on maintaining healthy land to produce healthy food. The orchards feature young, small trees that are easily accessible for picking, and the farm employs practices that ensure the land remains fertile and productive for future generations.

Visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Columbia River Gorge while picking from over 15 varieties of cherries, including Bing, Rainier, Chelan, Tieton, Lapin, Skeena, and Sweetheart. The farm offers both u-pick and we-pick options, generally available from late June to late July. The farm is open seven days a week, from 9 am to 6 pm, and accepts cash, check, credit, and debit.
