A certified-organic u-pick with a genuine petting zoo and Mt. Hood views, but the record is built from a third-party listing rather than the farm's own site, so hours, pricing, and a firm season end date are all unconfirmed.
Hood River U-Pick Organic distinguishes itself from most other orchards in this database with one clear claim: it’s certified organic. That’s paired with a petting zoo — goats, sheep, and alpacas, per the research notes — and views toward Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams, giving it a family-outing feel alongside the picking itself. The catch is source quality: unlike orchards where the record comes from a direct read of the farm’s own website, this one is built from a third-party aggregator, which means hours, pricing, and firm season dates are all genuinely unconfirmed rather than just thin.
The record lists Honeycrisp, Gala, Pippin, and Rubymac. Honeycrisp and Gala are both familiar mid-season apples grown widely across the orchards in this dataset. Pippin and Rubymac show up far less often, which makes this farm worth considering if you’re specifically looking for something other than the standard Honeycrisp-and-Gala combination found at many stops on the Fruit Loop. That said, since this list came from a third-party source rather than the farm’s own site, treat it as a reasonable guide rather than a guaranteed inventory on any given day.
One of the more useful specifics in the record is time-stamped: as of late August 2026, the aggregator listing this record draws from noted that cherry season had sold out and the farm was “reopening early September for u-pick organic apples.” That phrasing suggests apple season here may be a narrower window than at orchards running from late summer straight through October — this reads more like a defined late-season reopening than a long, open-ended fall run. If you’re planning a trip for later in October, it’s worth calling ahead to confirm the farm is still picking, since no firm end date is in the record.
This record carries more open questions than most of its Hood River Valley neighbors. No phone number was found at all — a real gap if you want to call ahead, which is otherwise the standard advice for filling in blanks like these. No hours are listed. No pricing is listed. And because the underlying source is a third-party trail guide rather than the orchard’s own site, even the address and variety list carry a bit more uncertainty than a directly-sourced record would. None of that means the farm isn’t a good stop — it means you should plan on visiting the farm’s own website (hoodriverupick.com) yourself before you go, since this record couldn’t load it directly.
Beyond the organic-apple pitch, the record’s activities list — petting zoo and picnic area — combined with research notes describing goats, sheep, and alpacas plus Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams views, paints a picture of a farm built for a slower family visit rather than a quick in-and-out pick. If you’re traveling with young kids who’d enjoy animals as much as apple rows, that combination is a real point in this orchard’s favor, even with the scheduling and pricing gaps.
The address on file is 4320 Royal Anne Dr, Hood River, OR 97031 — in the Odell area south of Hood River proper, within Hood River County. The listed coordinates are an approximate estimate for that address rather than an individually geocoded point, and given the source uncertainty here, it’s worth double-checking the address against the farm’s own site before you set out.
Hood River U-Pick Organic offers a genuinely distinctive pitch — certified organic apples, an unusual variety mix, and a real petting zoo — but this is one of the least-confirmed records in the Hood River Valley cluster, with no phone number, no hours, and no pricing on file. Check the farm’s own hoodriverupick.com site directly before you drive out, especially given the possibility of a short, late-starting apple window this year.
