Harvest Season - U-pick Apples & More!

Apples taste better when you’ve picked them yourself during a beautiful fall day at Whatcom County’s Bellewood Farms & Distillery, where the orchards open to the public Labor Day weekend. During the U-pick harvest that runs from Sept. 5 through late October, the public can choose their apples from trees on the 62 acres at Bellewood Farms, enhanced by a beautiful view of Mt. Baker.

If you wait a few weeks, you can combine gathering apples with a walk through Bellewood’s pumpkin patch, which will open Sept. 26 with a great selection for carving and fall décor for homes and businesses. 

Bellewood’s store begins in mid-August offering Gravenstein, Zestar and Tgusaru apples plus red and green Clapp pears. Gravensteins are popular for baking dishes and making applesauce. More of the 22 varieties, including the popular Honeycrisp apples, will be harvested when they are ready.
