Washington farming began with Native Americans who gathered salmon, berries, and other foods from the forests and rivers. European settlers discovered that areas near Puget Sound were perfect for growing many crops because of the mild, wet climate. Washington became famous for apples when farmers learned that the dry eastern part of the state was perfect for growing them. The state now grows more apples than any other state in America.
Washington has two very different climates divided by the Cascade Mountains. Western Washington is wet and mild, perfect for berries and other crops that like lots of rain. Eastern Washington is dry and sunny, perfect for apples and other tree fruits. The Columbia River provides water for irrigation in the dry areas. Both sides of the state have good soil for farming.
Washington apples are world-famous and ready to pick from August through November when orchards produce many different varieties. You can pick cherries in June and July when they're sweet and perfect from the dry, sunny weather. Berries grow well in western Washington and are ready to pick throughout the summer. The state also grows excellent pears, hops, and other crops.
Summer and fall are the best times to visit Washington farms when apples, berries, and other crops are ripe. Western Washington can be rainy, so bring appropriate clothing. Eastern Washington is usually sunny and dry with beautiful views of mountains and orchards. Many farms offer tours and tastings that show how Washington's unique climate creates world-class fruit.
