Orchards Across the Pacific Coast
Orchards throughout the Pacific Coast grow in mild, coastal-influenced soil, and most diversify across more than one fruit crop to spread their picking season out rather than relying on a single narrow window. The region's milder spring temperatures tend to push harvests ahead of most of the country, so orchards here often open earlier in the year than growers farther north. Checking a specific orchard's current harvest status before visiting is always worth the extra step, since conditions can shift from week to week.
Best Time for Orchards in California
Orchard season in California runs from april through june for the earliest crops through a fall peak of apples and pumpkins that typically draws the biggest crowds.
