Looking for a place to pick your own farm fresh produce?
Those who live in areas with many nearby farms to choose from are lucky
but...
Right here in the middle of Las Vegas is the Gilcrease Orchard.
It's been here for generations when it used to be outside of town.

I had the chance to go over on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised!
They are open Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Check the website to see what is ready to pick.

Thanks. It is!
DeleteGilcrest is one of my faves! Great shoots there :-) Our favorite is going when it's pumpkin season because of all the patches of orange and tall stalks. It's just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYes Fall is fabulous there too! Besides the pumpkins there are lots of apples!
