The Orchards and U-pick seasons
The orchards were planted by Phil Knight and his family over 35 years ago and feature Golden and Red Delicious Apples, summer apples, some pear trees and plenty of free-stone peaches. When the fruit is ripe, the public is invited to visit the ranch, weekends only, from 7 AM to 3 PM, to pick the orchard's bounty. Boxes, wheel barrows and picking tools are supplied. Admission is free. Scales are at the stand for weighing and paying before heading home to prepare wonderful pies, jams, jellies or butters. Sign in at the stand to get on the e-mailing list and you'll be notified when the U-pick seasons start. Recipes are also available at the stand. The fruit is pesticide-free, so please be encouraged to sample as you pick. Peaches and summer apples are usually available during the month July. Fall apples are typically ready in September and October. Mother Nature calls the shots as to timing, however. Check the news on this website or call 928-231-0704 for updates on the fruit's availability.
In addition, on one of the weekends of the apple picking season, Rainbow Girls, a nonprofit service organization for developing leadership skills in young girls through their teens, comes to the ranch to sell their homemade apple products to the public. They make wonderful pies, apple butters, cakes, and press apple cider per your order. All sales benefit the Rainbow Girls. This is their major money making activity each year and well loved by Date Creek Ranch visitors.
