Canyon Cherry U-Pick ‘em

The orchard is located 3 miles down Dominguez Canyon Road, just off Highway 50.

Directions:

• By Car: Take Highway 50 to Dominguez Canyon Road and drive 3 miles into the valley. Enter through the farm gate, continue past the young orchard and over the railroad tracks. Turn left and follow the road to the U-pick stand. Park along the tracks—staff will meet you there.

• By River: Paddle in from the Escalante put-in (1.5–2 hours) or Bridgeport take-out (3 hours). Look for the orchard's sign on the left side of the river at the take-out.

• Tieton is our earliest cherry variety. It is an early season red cherry with sweet, mild flavor. The fruit is large, glossy and firm.

• Bing cherries ripen one to two weeks after Tieton. They have an incredible sweet-tart flavor with a tangy aftertaste. The fruit is plump with a beautifully rich deep red color.

• Rainier cherries are golden yellow with a slight pink blush. They boast a deliciously sweet and floral flavor.

It costs $2 per person to register for the event, which guarantees you a particular time slot.

You may pick as much fruit as you would like. Price of cherries is based on the season.

We accept major credit and debit cards through our Square account, as well as cash.

When you arrive, follow the signs to the U-Pick meeting area. Our friendly staff will greet you, and you'll have a short safety briefing before heading out to enjoy the orchard.

There is one port-a-potty near the picnic area that all guests are welcome to use.

Water bottles and other refreshments are available for purchase at the Rafter Refreshment Stand and commissary area.

Picnicking in the orchard isn’t permitted, but you're invited to enjoy your meal on the lawn near the Rafter Refreshment Stand or at the stone dining patio.

Shaded picnic tables by the river offer a peaceful and scenic spot to relax.

We warmly welcome the whole family to join in this fun event! However, please note that the farm is not wheelchair accessible, and uneven gravel roads and pathways may make access challenging for elderly or disabled guests.

For the safety of our crops and to stay in line with our GAP certification, we’re unable to allow pets or animals on the orchard.

We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes and long sleeves while on the farm. Mosquitoes can be plentiful along the river’s edge during certain times of the year, so long pants are a good idea.

With over 300 sunny days a year in our canyon, don’t forget sunscreen and a hat to protect yourself from the sun!
