Our Crops
Farm fresh fruit and vegetables.
You’ll notice the words “typically” and “usually” used a lot when we talk about our crops. That’s because the plants (and the weather, pollinators, soil, pests, etc.) each have their own say in what happens on the farm. We also like to try new things and experiment. Crop varieties, quality, and yields vary from season-to-season, so keep a close eye on our social media pages (Instagram and Facebook), contact us, or sign up for our email newsletter below to receive regular updates.
From the Orchards
Peaches & Nectarines
Our peaches usually start ripening in late July and last until mid-September. Our peach varieties and nectarines tend to ripen in this order: Flamin’ Fury, Early Star, Candor, Harken, Red Haven, Lucky 13 (a Flamin’ Fury variety), Suncrest, Glowing Star, nectarines, white peaches, Late Suncrest, Encore, and 007 (a Flamin’ Fury variety). Flavors vary, but they all have on thing in common—they’re delicious! And picked at the perfect ripeness. Due to their delicate nature, peaches are not available for u-pick.
Apples
Apples are the most abundant crop at ME & Moore and they’re one of our most beloved u-pick offerings. We have eleven varieties that begin ripening in mid-August and usually last until we close for the season in late November. They include (and tend to ripen in this order): Gravenstein, Akane, Gala, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, Empire, Rome Beauty, Golden Delicious, Spitzenberg, Braeburn, and Fuji. Apple picking is a beloved fall tradition at our farm: They’re easy picking and cheaper if you do u-pick, especially if you’re making preserves. Not all varieties are available for u-pick and supply can vary from season to season, so be sure to check our u-pick page throughout the season for updates. New varieties that will begin to become available in 2026 include: William’s Pride, Zestar, Sansa, Ashmead’s Colonel, Ambrosia, Mutsu, and Winecrisp.
Pears
Talk about abundant, these trees keep on bearing a huge (and delectable!) crop year after year. We have two European varieties—Bartlett and Comice—and their ripening habits couldn’t be more different. Bartletts usually start coming off in late August and have excellent flavor as soon as they’re picked, whether you prefer them more green or more yellow. Comice on the other hand, ripen later and need a few weeks off of the tree to reach peak tastiness; they aren’t ready typically until late October. We love our pears fresh, but they’re also excellent for baking and preserving. Pears are a great u-pick option if you’re looking for a larger quantity, but stay in touch with us because the u-pick window for Bartletts is very short. We don’t typically offer u-pick for Comice. If you miss out on u-picking, we often have an abundant supply of already picked pears throughout the late summer and fall. Our newer Asian pear varieties have begun producing, so you might see them available in 2026.
From the Fields
Corn
Corn is one of the crops we’re best known for. Our most abundant variety is called Honey Select and we’re often told by our customers that it’s the tastiest they’ve ever had. Corn season usually begins in late July and lasts through mid-October.
Tomatoes
Our stand-bys are sungold, Early Girl, Celebrity, and Plum Regal (a paste variety), but we plant a variety of heirlooms as well. U-pick on tomatoes typically opens in late August, which is a great option if you’re getting a large quantity for preserving. You can usually find tomatoes at the stand from mid-August until the first frost (usually in October). In 2026, we have an early planting that could begin producing in late July.
Classic Summer Veggies
We switch things up every season, but typically grow lettuce, broccolini, and zucchini. Basil—a popular u-pick—will be available at some point as well. In 2026 we’ll have some July carrots.
Potatoes
Our Huckleberry Gold potatoes are a farm fan favorite. They are an excellent all-purpose variety with antioxidant properties in the skin. They are also the first low-glycemic index potato variety, a favorite for those watching blood sugar. In 2026, potatoes should be available in September.
Garlic
In 2026 we’ll primarily have a hardneck variety of garlic called Chesnok Red. Known for it’s mild and sweet flavor, as well as a beautiful color, this is sure to become a favorite.
Peppers
Feeling spicy? Our hot peppers include jalapeños, anaheims, and poblanos. Feeling not so spicy? We also have green and red bell peppers, and some sweet peppers. They’re usually ready starting in mid-August and last through October.
Melons & Raspberries
Fruit doesn’t only grow on trees, don’t-cha-know? In 2026, we’ll have cantaloupe starting in mid-July. Forget what you think you know about melons—nothing compares to a farm-fresh cantaloupe, whether you like them on the firmer, less sweet side, or the fully ripe, juicy side. Our u-pick raspberries are ahead of schedule and we expect them to be ready by early August.
Pumpkins & Fall Decorations
Starting in late September, we have a plenty of pumpkins—including carving pumpkins for Halloween and pie pumpkins—decorative gourds, and plenty of edible winter squash: butternut, red and green kabocha, carnival, spaghetti, delicata, etc. Many of our squashes do double duty as decorations and delectable delights.
Fall Veggies
In addition to winter squash, we offer a range of cold-weather-loving veggies including carrots, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts.
Other Products
Other products you might find at the stand include Oregon jam, local Bear Mountain honey, Oregon-raised beef snack sticks, pre-packaged hazelnuts, greeting cards, and books.
