Orchard

Cherries on branch

We specifically chose this location for many reasons. For optimum fruit taste and texture, terrain and climate are very important. The orchard cascades down a south facing slope that allows the sunshine to gently warm the ground, preventing freezing of the delicate fruit in the spring. Warm air is filtered through the trees which is needed for an optimum crop.

We have a picnic area on the ranch open for personal use.

Pollination

To adequately pollinate the cherry orchard, agriculturists recommend having 3 bee hives per acre. At the moment, Stagecoach Lane Ranch hosts 16 bee hives to gently pollinate the 3 acres of tender blossoms of the trees. Native honey is purported to be beneficial to those suffering from allergies. We will be offering our own private honey label in our store during regularly scheduled farm hours.

Stagecoach Lane Ranch will be offering cherries as well as the farm experience to its customers. The farm itself is the main attraction with sprawling fields, a picnic area, open skies and plenty of old-fashioned hospitality. Our family would like to offer a way for everyone to experience a "u-pick" cherry farm and enjoy the benefits of its bounty.

Senior and Physically Challenged Service

Stagecoach Lane Ranch wants to make it easier for our senior and physically challenged friends to pick our cherries. If you need special assistance, email us ahead or stop at the stand and we will arrange to get you as close as possible to the picking area.
