The Orchard is now open Friday-Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM. We will still be following the government recommendations and only allow 40 people at a time in the General Store. Physical distancing (not social and we encourage interaction) is required, and there is no live music. We hope this will be temporary and are working on alternatives to this very important part of the Orchard experience.

All precautions have been employed—masks (in accordance with government mandate, all staff and visitors are required to wear masks inside the barn as a 6' distancing can not be safely maintained) and gloves for staff, distancing markers, sanitizer required before entering the store and recommended as you leave. Pets are permitted inside on a leash (no mask required). And although the tasting station has been removed, most of the staff can help you with their own experiences with our jarred goods. "Best apple pie I've ever had." Bill is on premises telling tales and entertaining (although not tapping toes) visitors. He will be storytelling in coming weeks, although not on heyrides.

The trails are open, and a revised map is being installed, but please respect other walkers and continue to physical distance.

We hope that all these preventative measures will be temporary, but in the interim, the health and safety of our staff and our visitors are most important in decision making. The apples trees are still thriving and ripening. No matter what the climate of the planet, they're ready for pickin' as usual.

We invite you to come for a visit. Bring your dancing shoes. There's room on the floor for all. And your walking shoes. You don't want to leave without a walk through the apple "forest." Bring your appetites for the apple pie alamode and Apple Core Grill delights. Pick your own apples or purchase them in our General Store (in season). Return to a simpler time for an hour or an afternoon at the family- (and pet-) friendly Orchard At Altapass.
