U-Pick Swanson’s Mountain View Orchard
Join Swanson’s Mountain View Orchard for Their Third Annual U-Pick Season
We’re excited to welcome you back to Swanson’s Mountain View Orchard for their third U-Pick season in the Bitterroot Valley. This year, U-Pick will take place on September 12, 13, 19, and 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 1752 Mountain View Orchard Rd.Like many orchards in the region, we’ve seen a lighter apple crop this year. Even so, they’re grateful for the fruit we do have and are excited to share it with our community. Whether you’re continuing a family tradition or visiting the orchard for the first time, we hope you’ll join us for a day in the orchard and take home some fresh McIntosh apples picked straight from the tree
What to expect
- $5 entry per family
- 5, 10, 20, or 40-pound picking baskets (basket provided)
- Pick-your-own McIntosh apples from our designated U-Pick block
- Family photos and time spent in the orchard
- Fresh apple cider donuts and frozen apple cider slushies from our apple cider donut trailer
Prices: Due to limited apples in the orchard from this year’s frost impact and rising input costs, our per-basket price has increased to approximately $2.00/lb:
- 5 lb. basket – $10
- 10 lb. basket – $20
- 20 lb. basket – $40
- 40 lb. basket – $80
