Cascade Farmlands

Since 2001, Cascade Farmlands has been working hard to promote and support small family farms and agricultural tourism on the east slopes of the North Cascades. Here in lovely North Central Washington, you’ll find charming farms, historic orchards, roadside fruit stands overflowing with seasonal fruits and talented culinary chefs presenting fresh local ingredients in every meal. Small artisan breweries, cideries and wineries showcase award winning ales, ciders and wines – many within sight of the “parent” orchard. Here in Cascade Farmlands, the connection between the people and the landscape is strong and vibrant. We invite you to share it with us!

Anytime you come for a visit, you’ll find a season unique with scents, colors and tastes. In spring, the sweet aromas of orchards in bloom accompany the bright colors of fragrant flowers in the pear, cherry and apple orchards. Late in summer, the air is heady with the smell of ripe apples. Stop at a roadside fruit stand for a warm pastry made with just picked fruit and wash it down with a cold refreshing apple cider. Pick a flat of fruit to take with you on the road. At harvest-time hay rides, corn mazes and cider pressings are fun for the whole family. In the winter, visit a Christmas tree farm, ice skate under a clear winter sky, catch a snow flake on your tongue and warm up with seasonal wines, delectable chocolates and winter festivals that showcase ice sculptures, live music, fireworks, games and so much more!

Experience the best Washington has to offer in the farmlands and communities of Leavenworth, Cashmere, Wenatchee, Chelan, Methow, Oroville and Okanogan.
