A strictly u-pick, no-events heirloom apple orchard with an unusually long roster of antique varieties confirmed live on the farm's own August 30, 2026 status page — but that same page shows availability shifting week to week, including a full week closed.
$1.50/lb for all u-pick fruit including apples (pre-picked Bartlett pears are a separate $30/box item), per the farm's own live status page.
Sherwood Orchards, in Washington County’s Portland Metro area, is a strictly u-pick operation — its own site is explicit that it doesn’t accommodate field trips or events, which sets it apart from many of the more activity-packed orchards in this database. What it lacks in add-on attractions it makes up for in variety: a live status page on the farm’s own site, dated August 30, 2026, listed sixteen named apple varieties, several of them heirloom or antique cultivars rarely seen elsewhere in this dataset. The same page also showed the farm closed the following week, a useful reminder that this is a farm whose availability moves quickly.
Sixteen apple varieties are named in the record: Priscilla, Fireside, Tydeman Red, Orenco, Gala, Kogetsu, Mystery, Jonathan, Fameuse, Red Rome, Discovery, Spartan, Kidd’s Orange Red, Summer Rambo, Akane, and Empire. Of the varieties this record’s ripening guide covers, only Gala is included — a familiar mid-season apple — but the rest of the list leans heavily toward heirloom and antique names that most orchards in this database don’t carry at all. Fameuse, Kidd’s Orange Red, and Summer Rambo, for instance, are the kind of older cultivars that appeal specifically to visitors hunting for something beyond the standard Honeycrisp-Fuji-Gala rotation. If variety hunting is your goal, this is one of the strongest records in the dataset for it.
The record confirms a flat $1.50/lb rate for all u-pick fruit, including apples, taken directly from the farm’s own live status page. Pre-picked Bartlett pears are called out separately at $30/box, distinct from the per-pound u-pick rate. Because this price came from a page the farm itself dates to August 30, 2026 — not a general description or a third-party estimate — this record’s confirmation field is marked “orchard_site,” meaning it reflects the farm’s own real, current-season information rather than an inference.
Here’s the important caveat: the same page that confirmed availability on August 30, 2026 also showed the farm closed the following week, from August 31 through September 6. That’s not a sign of anything wrong with the orchard — it’s a sign that Sherwood Orchards’ picking calendar shifts based on what’s actually ripe and staffed, rather than running on a fixed daily schedule for the whole season. The practical takeaway: don’t treat this record’s variety list and pricing as guaranteed for whatever week you plan to visit. Check the farm’s own live status page again close to your travel date, since it appears to be updated regularly and is clearly the most current source available.
The activities field in the record is blank, and the research notes are direct about why: this farm’s own site states plainly that it doesn’t host field trips or events. There’s no cider mill, no donuts, no corn maze mentioned anywhere. If you’re looking for a family day out with extra attractions, this isn’t that stop — but if your priority is picking real quantities of interesting apple varieties without a festival atmosphere around you, that focus is arguably a feature rather than a gap.
The address on file is 23995 SW Pacific Hwy, Sherwood, OR 97140, in Washington County. The listed coordinates are an approximate estimate for that address rather than an individually geocoded point. The record also notes that hours vary with fruit availability and heat, with a suggestion to arrive at least an hour before closing — another sign that this is an orchard best approached by checking current conditions rather than assuming a fixed schedule.
Sherwood Orchards is a serious pick for anyone chasing heirloom apple varieties, backed by a rare and welcome level of specificity — a dated, farm-confirmed price and variety list. The tradeoff is that its own live status page shows real week-to-week volatility, including a full closed week right after the data behind this record was captured. Check the current status page before you drive out, and don’t expect anything beyond straightforward picking once you arrive.
Live-status dependent rather than a fixed date range. As of the farm's own August 30, 2026 status page, an unusually wide roster of heirloom apples was already available at $1.50/lb — but the same page showed the farm closed the following week (Aug 31-Sept 6), so check the live status page close to your visit rather than assuming a fixed calendar.
You're looking for field trips, events, a corn maze, or cider donuts — the farm's own site says it doesn't host field trips or events, and no add-on activities are listed at all.

An unusually long list, per the farm's live status page: Priscilla, Fireside, Tydeman Red, Orenco, Gala, Kogetsu, Mystery, Jonathan, Fameuse, Red Rome, Discovery, Spartan, Kidd's Orange Red, Summer Rambo, Akane, and Empire.

No — the farm's own site explicitly states it does not accommodate field trips or events, per the record. This is a straightforward, no-frills u-pick operation.
Not necessarily. The same August 30, 2026 status page that confirmed availability also showed the farm closed the following week (August 31-September 6), which the research notes flag as a sign that day-to-day availability shifts quickly here.
