10 Places to Go Apple Picking in Washington

Skipley Farm is a working farm so don’t expect any manicured areas for wedding receptions or pumpkin cannons but there is plenty to pick, with more than 500 varieties of apples in the field, both unusual and the better-known Fuji and Honeycrisp. They recommend Bramley’s Seedling apples for a great pie and tart, crunchy eating. Other fruit and berries may be available depending on the season. Kids will love to visit the chickens, ducks and rabbits after picking.

Get pickin’: U-pick is open now 9 a.m.–6 p.m. Thursday–Saturday, and 11 a.m.–6 p.m. Sundays. Bring your own container. Check updates on the website or Facebook or call before visiting to see what is ready for picking. A $5 donation per person is requested.
