A genuinely useful find for Montrose County — a growing area better known for sweet corn than apples — but data here is thin: no confirmed hours, varieties, or pricing, only an address, phone number, and an aggregator listing.
DeVries Fruit & Veggies is one of the few entries in this research batch located in Montrose County, in the Uncompahgre Valley near Olathe — a town more commonly associated with sweet corn than apples. That alone makes it worth flagging: it’s a genuinely different growing area from the Palisade/Grand Junction cluster that dominates Western Slope apple coverage, and from the Delta County orchards further north.
Unlike several other records in this research batch that draw on an orchard’s own website, this one comes entirely from a u-pick farm aggregator directory (upickfarmsusa.com), which categorizes DeVries as a Montrose County u-pick apple farm. No orchard-operated website or social media page could be located to confirm anything beyond what the aggregator lists. That matters because the aggregator itself carries a caveat.
Worth repeating plainly: the aggregator directory used for this record explicitly warns that listed farms sometimes close or skip a season without the directory being updated to reflect that. Given that Big B’s Delicious Orchards elsewhere in this research batch turned out to have lost its 2026 fruit crop to an April freeze — a fact only discoverable through the farm’s own website — that warning should be taken seriously here. A phone call to 970-323-6559 before driving out isn’t just good practice; it’s necessary given how this record was sourced.
The record confirms an address, a phone number, and u-pick availability according to the aggregator’s categorization. It does not confirm hours, apple varieties, season dates, or pricing — none of that turned up anywhere in the research behind this record. That’s a genuinely thin dataset, even by the standards of some other less-documented orchards in this batch.
The research notes frame this record’s real value clearly: Olathe is known for sweet corn, not apples, so a confirmed (if thinly documented) u-pick apple option here fills a gap in Montrose County that the Palisade-focused coverage elsewhere in this research doesn’t reach. If you live closer to Montrose than to the Grand Junction area, this is one of the only options this research turned up for you.
DeVries Fruit & Veggies is at 60542 Gunnison Road in Olathe, Montrose County — in the Uncompahgre Valley, distinct from the Grand Valley orchards (Palisade, Grand Junction) and the Delta County orchards (Eckert, Hotchkiss) covered elsewhere in this batch. The latitude and longitude on file are Olathe city-center coordinates rather than a geocoded point for the specific address.
DeVries Fruit & Veggies is a real find for Montrose County apple pickers, but it’s the thinnest-documented type of record in this research: no website, no confirmed hours or varieties, and a source that explicitly warns its own listings can go stale. Call ahead before you make the drive, and treat this as a lead to verify rather than a confirmed plan.
Not stated in the record — no season dates, hours, or days-open pattern were confirmed by any source.
You want a website or social page to confirm details before visiting — none could be located, and even the u-pick aggregator source warns listings can go stale.
