Meyer peach orchard

We are now closed for the 2022 season, all of the peaches and berries have been sold.

Thank you for visiting and we look forward to seeing you during the 2023 season.

This farm has been in the family since 1925, through 4 generations.  We have been raising peaches since 1978 and currently have 2 varieties; Red Haven and Veteran.  Our peaches are primarily u-pick.  We do offer pre-picked peaches in bags (approximately 5 pounds) when we have time to pick and sort them.

Because of insurance restrictions, u-pick peach customers can no longer use any ladders in the orchard.  We now provide picking pole devices which work very well reaching the peaches in the tree.  The u-pick device then gently holds the peach while it is removed from the tree and placed in the container.

During peach harvest, usually the end of July through the middle of August, we are typically open Monday through Saturday 8am until 6pm & Sundays noon until 4pm.  We do close periodically during harvest for ripening.  Please call 503-362-7153 for updates before visiting us as our days and hours can change based on crop ripeness and weather.

We are new to loganberries and boysenberries this year.  Expect logans to start in early July and boysens beginning in mid July.  I don't know the hours of operation yet, it depends on how heavy the crop is.  We have limited supplies of berries with only 1/2 acre each of boysenberries and loganberries.  Start calling around the first of June for berry updates.

The farm is located at 5495 Center St. NE, Salem, Oregon, 97317.  That is 2 miles east of Lancaster at the end of Center St.  Look for the sign at our Center Street driveway during harvest season.

Our phone number is 503-362-7153

OUR PEACH VARIETIES

Red Haven – These are fantastic for using fresh in recipes and just plain eating straight off the tree.  While they do work for canning and freezing, the veteran is superior for that.  Our Red havens are ready for picking in late July and are available for 1 or 2 days. This is a classic peach with very high name recognition and a great reputation.

Veteran – Because of their highly reliable production, great flavor and easy handling for canning, veterans are a very popular western Oregon peach.  They are a hybrid that is frost resistant during the bloom, which is the most vulnerable time for the peach crop. These peaches are freestone, easily peeled and very sturdy which makes them an excellent peach for canning and freezing.  They are ready for picking in early August and are available for about 2 weeks.  While they are a superb canning peach, they are also a very delicious fresh peach.  Some even say they are better than Red Havens for eating fresh off the tree.
