About This Farm
Belltown Hill Orchards on Matson Hill Road is famous for its apples, and it grows over 24 varieties for picking. It also grows kiwi berries, which is a thing almost no American farm does.
What You Can Pick
- Apples - "over 24 varieties", from mid-June to late October across the whole picking season
- Blueberries - summer
- Sweet cherries - early summer
- Pumpkins - autumn
The farm also grows blackberries, grapes, kiwi berries, pears, peaches, raspberries, rhubarb and plums.
What It Costs
"Most pick your own fruit is priced by the pound. Cherries are priced by the bag/person."
Good to Know
Open seven days a week, June to December, but picking is a separate matter: "Pick your own is NOT GUARANTEED DAILY. Hours are subject to change daily due to crop availability/weather, please call for accurate picking info."
And plainly: "Management reserves the right to close the fields at any point in the day, due to crop availability or weather."
Pro tip: ask about the kiwi berries. They are thumbnail-sized, smooth-skinned and eaten whole, they taste more intensely of kiwi than a kiwi does, and they ripen in September. Across nineteen American regions on this site only two farms grow them at all.
