A well-established Hillsboro u-pick that grew from a 1978 raspberry farm into a 5-acre apple orchard on 30 acres, with six named varieties — but that variety list came secondhand, and no current pricing or 2026 dates were confirmed on the farm's own site.
Smith Berry Barn started in 1978 as a u-pick raspberry farm and has since grown to include a 5-acre apple orchard as part of a larger 30-acre property, according to the record’s research notes. It’s a well-established operation with confirmed hours and six named apple varieties — but the variety list itself came from a secondhand description rather than a page read directly on the farm’s own site, and no current pricing or firm 2026 season dates were found anywhere in the record.
The farm’s history matters for understanding what you’re getting here: this isn’t an orchard-first operation that added berries as a sideline, it’s the reverse. Smith Berry Barn built its reputation on u-pick raspberries starting in 1978, and the 5-acre apple orchard is a later addition to that original 30-acre property. If you’re coming specifically for apples, that context is worth knowing — the raspberry rows are likely still the farm’s signature draw, with apples as a genuine but secondary part of the operation.
The record lists Akane, Gala, Jonagold, Jonathan, Liberty, and McIntosh. Of these, Gala and McIntosh are both apples this record’s ripening guide classifies as mid-season, familiar fruit widely grown across Oregon orchards. Jonathan is a classic older variety, and Liberty was specifically bred for disease resistance — both worth knowing if variety history interests you. The important caveat: this list came from a general online description of the farm rather than a page confirmed directly on smithberrybarn.com. Treat it as a reasonable expectation of what’s grown here, not a guaranteed current-season inventory.
The record confirms Tuesday through Sunday, 10am to 5pm, with the farm closed Mondays — read directly from the farm’s own site. One specific detail worth flagging: u-pick access itself cuts off to newcomers at 4pm, a full hour before the 5pm closing time. That’s a tighter cutoff than some neighboring orchards, so if you’re planning a later-afternoon visit specifically to pick, aim to arrive well before 4pm rather than assuming you have until closing.
Beyond picking, the record lists a farm store and field trips among the farm’s activities — the field-trip offering in particular suggests Smith Berry Barn has infrastructure and experience hosting school or group visits, not just walk-in individual or family picking. If you’re organizing a group visit rather than a casual family trip, that’s worth asking about specifically when you call.
Two real gaps stand out. First, no apple pricing at all is in the record — no per-pound rate, no flat price, nothing. Second, there’s no confirmed 2026 apple-picking window; the record notes only that no firm dates were found on the pages read. Given that the farm’s hours and address were confirmed directly on its own site, it’s reasonable to expect that a phone call (503-628-2172) would fill in both of these blanks more reliably than continuing to search online.
The address on file is 24500 SW Scholls Ferry Rd, Hillsboro, OR 97123, in Washington County. The listed coordinates are an approximate estimate for that address rather than an individually geocoded point. Scholls Ferry Road places this solidly within the Portland Metro cluster of orchards, making it easy to pair with other nearby stops in Washington County.
Smith Berry Barn is a genuinely established, decades-old u-pick operation with a real apple program layered onto its original raspberry business — but this record’s apple-specific details (variety list, pricing, season dates) are thinner and less directly confirmed than its hours and address. Confirmed hours make it easy to plan a visit; a call to 503-628-2172 is the way to nail down what you’ll actually pay and pick once you’re there.
Not stated with specific 2026 dates. No firm apple-picking window was confirmed directly on the farm's own pages.
You need confirmed current pricing before you go — none is posted in the record.
