The History
Located in the Colbert/Green Bluff area of Washington state, Beck’s Harvest House has been a part of the Beck family since 1987. In 1989, the farm gained new ownership, and the orchard was quite old and overgrown. Since that time, the Beck family has replanted nearly every tree in their orchard, and they now offer over 100 varieties of fruit for both U-pick and we-pick options. Because of their three decades of history, the farm was deemed as the longest-running, single-family-owned operation in Green Bluff. Today, they continue to run their amazing business, filled with opportunities for apple picking, cherry picking, peach picking, and more.cr
The Business Today
Today, Beck’s Harvest House continues to operate a successful business with quite a few different areas. One of their biggest offerings is their U-pick fruit. This allows visitors to hand pick a variety of seasonal fruits, including raspberries, cherries, peaches, pears, apricots, rhubarb, and, of course, apples. There is also an on-site country store, selling a variety of products made on the farm or elsewhere. These include fresh produce, premier wine and craft beer, delicious homemade sauces, rubs, jams, teas, spices, and more.
For breakfast and lunch, they offer a country kitchen, featuring their famous baked goods, as well as a variety of sandwiches and breakfast items. Their outdoor patio offers fantastic views of Mount Spokane, for an awesome dining experience. Finally, each year they operate a Fall Harvest Festival, complete with pumpkins, pumpkin donuts, apple cider, craft booths, live music, and apple picking. This is the ultimate autumn experience that you will not want to miss.
