The Orchards

The orchards were first planted in the late 1880's by the Boede family. Their fruit was shipped by boat from West Sound, then train all along the West Coast and inland over the Cascades and Sierras. Rows of Gravenstein and King apples, Orcas and Bartlett pears, cherries, plums, peaches, and yes, apricots. Many of our farm's historic apple and pear trees still stand and produce fruit. Some of these majestic trees are over 100 years old!

Once in a Blue Moon Farm planted its first orchard in 2003. Every year we continue to make additions and changes to our orchards. Our fruit is some of the finest fresh fruit you'll ever taste. We are willing to risk and experiment growing and testing varieties some consider not commercially viable. Our farm offers a palate of rare and unusual edibles from around the world. We can bring a dynamic taste and texture to any table. Please contact us for a complete list of varieties.
