Nothing tastes better than fresh picked fruit
and there is no better way to get the real fresh picked taste
than to get it right from the orchard.
Our farm has been welcoming generations of
both "local pickers" and "city pickers"
with the delightful experience of
enjoying fresh fruit
directly from the actual sources - our wide variety of apple trees.
No Dogs Please -
We Have Two Puppies and Blind Dog at the
Orchard who love people but not other dogs.
Meet Our Orchards
Meet Our Don Baker Farm Family
Dale Baker and Mother Nature are the two elements
that make all the fruit taste better here than anywhere else.
Dale is a third generation grower who
creates and selects each and every piece of fruit -
and you can taste it in every bite.
Mrs. Baker passed away this summer. She welcomed all our guest pickers for 61 years,
you can absolutely feel her special spirit everywhere at the farm.

Dale Baker LOVES growing the best fresh fruit -
He has been farming...forever. Just taste Don Baker Farm fresh fruit for yourself.
Meet Jim - Jim is the full service package and always able to do it all absolutely perfectly...
Meet Buff Bob - He has highly developed muscles
because he devotes EXACTLY 4 hours a day
very carefully pruning the cherry, apple and pear trees.
Meet Osmond who passed away this winter
after over a decade of working at the orchard.
He is missed each day and had a unique blend of special skills and talents,
with a quiet calm that showed decades of orchard experience.
I just discovered that his middle name was Nesbert ;-)
He had the world's best smile.
