Packer Orchards was established in 1924 and is a sustainable fourth generation family farm located in Hood River, Oregon. What began as a small crop of apples and pears slowly expanded to 100+ acres of apples, pears, cherries, peaches, apricots, prunes, and nectarines
Around 1992 the Packers’ opened The Bakery on site, offering fruit from the orchards and fresh made cinnamon rolls. Cinnamon rolls and pears quickly transformed into a bakery filled with giant cookies, a varieties of jams, delicious fruit pies, and hand dipped ice cream and shakes. A fall favorite of mine is their Apple Pie in a Cone, a waffle cone filled with vanilla ice cream, topped with apple pie filling and whipped cream! Amazing!!
Packer Family purchased Rasmussen Farms, another long standing family farm in the Hood River Valley. Packer Orchards Farm Place, is a destination for families around the Northwest each fall with its Pumpkin Funland, pumpkin patch and corn maze. Follow them on Facebook and keep updated on all their events.
