Curran Apple Orchard, University Place
Curran Apple Orchard is a public orchard within the city of University Place, southwest of Tacoma. Its 7 acres hold more than 200 trees growing 15 varieties of apples. The orchard is open to the public for free picking beginning on Aug. 31, 2025. Just follow the rules: Trees with signs or markers have been “adopted” and the apples on those trees are reserved for the adopter. Please do not pick them. If there are windfall apples on the ground, please pick them up and dispose of them in the dumpster to help avoid future insect problems.
Get pickin’: The public is invited to a Community Harvest Day on Sunday, Aug. 31, 2025, starting at 10 a.m. The community is welcome to pick from unmarked trees. If you cannot attend, you are welcome to pick from unmarked trees after this date.
