Its been a really blissful week here on the farm. Kenny and I have been pulling out older stumps and planting new donut peach trees. We are in full blossom bloom and the bees are happily buzzing around the farm pollinating all our fruit trees and vines. Everything we grow requires bees to turn blossoms into baby fruitlets and we absolutely adore bees here at Mt View Orchards. We love being farmers and are huge bee fans.
We love growing fruit for our community as well as hosting farm to table dinners on the farm featuring our fresh fruits. We grow a large variety of fruits including cherries, berries, peaches, grapes, nectarines, plums, apples, quince and pears. We were not able to host dinners last year but are looking forward to hosting a few events this year so follow along for socially distanced ticketed events starting in May for mothers day.
I have been keeping a secret since last September that Top Chef was here for their Portland series and they hosted an episode here in the heart of our farm as a tribute to the Fruit Loop and our many fruit harvests. It was a really fun episode were their talented chefs ran through out our upick sections of our farm picking fruit for their all fruit dishes. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine a favorite show of mine airing in our farm and we were beyond grateful and thrilled to open up our farm like a living room to have them highlight the Hood River Fruit Loop here in the Upper Hood River Valley.
I want to warmly invite you all to come and visit our farm this spring. The Tulips fields are in full bloom as our the fruit blossoms. Come experience are farm hospitality in our Tasting Room at the Grateful Vineyard Tasting Room. Also join us for our Mothers Day Tea on May 9th 10-12pm in our Mt View Orchards wooden pavilion. We are hosting some guest chefs this summer too so stay tuned for tickets to these delicious culinary events. We also host weddings here to head to this link to learn more.
xo your grateful farmer, Trina
