Raising Cane Ranch, Snohomish
This small family farm has all the charm you could hope for: welcoming, passionate owners, animals to see and all the wonderful sights and smells of farm life. In addition to berry and nut U-picks that start in early June, they have 20 varieties of apples for picking, starting in early September. See the website for information about when each item in their orchard will be in season. Currently, U-pick is by reservation only, which you can schedule by emailing info@raisingcaneranch.com.
If you go on a weekend be sure to stop by the cidery and enjoy a hard cider made with apples and berries from the farm. The tasting room is currently outdoors while an old cow barn is being converted into the cidery. The cidery is currently open Fridays, 3–7 p.m.; Saturdays, noon–7 p.m.; and Sundays, noon–5 p.m.
