Packer Orchards & Bakery

I grew up coming to the fruit loop each fall and this has always been my favorite stop. They have a wide selection of jams that you can sample, my favorites are the hood river berry and raspberry rhubarb which I always make sure to grab a jar of to sustain my sweet tooth. They have huge cookies for great prices, tons of flavors, always fresh and baked to perfection. I haven’t tried many of their other baked goods but I plan to change that in my future trips as they look incredible. They also offer honey sticks at the right price which is something I will get very stingy about. They even offer huckleberry which I’ve yet to find anywhere else. The staff has always been extremely helpful and welcoming and the shop is set up very organized. Never any issues with foot traffic or with parking even when it’s more crowded. Strong recommendation to anyone willing to make the trip to Hood River.

Every year for 7 years now we stop at this place to enjoy coffee, some baking goods-pies- and buy peaches . Such a fun and relaxing spot to visit—close enough to Hood River for a quick trip, but it feels like a getaway. The scenic drive there is stunning! Peach picking can be fun!. Adults can browse the store with local wines, ciders, and a fantastic selection of jams and jellies (yes, you can sample!). It’s a perfect place to enjoy sunshine and fresh air. The staff is friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. A great local gem—go support the orchard!

A Must-Visit Gem on the Fruit Loop! Packer Orchard & Bakery is pure joy from the moment you arrive. You’re greeted with warm smiles and the kind of laid-back friendliness that makes you feel like family. This is the kind of place that restores your faith in small-town charm. The free tastings alone are worth the stop—an abundant spread of seasonal fruits, local honeys, and baked delights. Their fruit shakes are refreshingly delicious, and the fresh-from-the-oven pies and empanadas (especially the Marionberry pie 🥧) are heavenly. You can relax in the shade with a cup of coffee and soak in the stunning view of Mount Adams—honestly, it doesn’t get much better than that. Compared to other spots on the Fruit Loop, the prices here are incredibly reasonable. While some places feel like they’re targeting tourists’ wallets, the Packer family delivers quality, generosity, and value with heart. Their U-pick groves—offering peaches, cherries, and more depending on the season—are a fun and wholesome way to connect with the land. We loved it so much we came back more than once! The weekday hours are also a huge bonus, especially when many other stands are closed. Thank you to the entire Packer family for creating such a special place. We can’t wait to return! 🍑🍒🌻

My fiancé and I visited this orchard while exploring the beautiful state of Oregon and everything was just lovely. We tried all these different jams and decided to buy a jar of strawberry jalapeño jam. We took it home to Chicago for our friends to try and they all loved it. We will definitely be coming back if we travel here again in the future!

Place has always been one of our favorite spots on the loop, great place. However, the price has skyrocketed over the years and the jams have changed? They used to be packed with whole fruit and berries? Now they grind up the fruit. (Don't think we didn't notice). Maybe they make more money this way? Idk?

Our first experience visiting this place and loved it! The sample table was awesome! It gave us an idea of what to buy. We also purchased their Marion berry cinnamon rolls and a flat of fresh peaches. Can’t wait to make some peach cobbler crumble! We would definitely recommend this place!

Enjoyable place to go and visit!! Far enough yet close enough to Hood River. The scenic drive is beautiful. There is the cherry picking. Delicious cherries!! Great for kids who love playing in the sand , feeding the goats , riding the barrel horses and enjoying the tricycle track! Even better is the store for the adult beverages and also all the jams and jellies that you can sample. Plus it allows you the opportunity to enjoy being outside in the sunshine. Customer service is great , very nice and informative. Go out and support the Orchard.

Cute little Orchard and Bakery! I tried the Huckleberry Ice Cream and it was amazing!! I also had a cowboy cookie that was great! You should definitely stop in if driving by!

We stopped in while working our way around the fruit loop. I love that they have samples out to try. The peach honey and candied jalapeños were some of my favorites. They also have tons of jam options. We had a cider to drink, a marionberry cinnamon roll and donuts. The cinnamon roll was super sweet but tasty. I couldn't eat a whole one, but we split one no problem. The donuts are cake style. They were good but not my favorite. I bet they are amazing hot. We got a berry cider and it was sweet and refreshing. Go sit on the swing bench or on their patio.

One of the best if not the best u-pick cherry farms on the fruit loop of Hood River! The orchard of cherry trees were filled with sweet ripe cherries. Only $6 per basket (approx 2lbs). Along with cherries the bakery offered scrumptious baked goods, jams, ice cream and cute mugs, aprons and other gifts. A wonderful experience up near the hills above Hood River. A must stop especially in summer!

Still one of our favorite stops on the fruit loop at Hood River. We love grabbing some fresh baked goods, a seasonal shake and fruit or veggies.

The pies are amazing at Packer Orchards. They had them packaged in the bakery area and they were still warm to the touch. Once I realized that they were fresh made I had to grab a Marionberry. The crust was flaky and buttery tasting. It was delicious with the lightly sweetened fruit. I also purchased a couple of cowboy cookies and Marionberry jam as gifts. The staff was very friendly and the store was stocked full of seasonal gift items.

Love this place! They have another location nearby with some family & kids activities, especially during the Autumn with outdoor mazes & otter fun. I prefer this location when it's Autumn for that very reason, so we can avoid the crowds of families and small children running around. This location gets very busy and packed, too, just without all those kid's activities. They have a large selection of cute home/kitchen decor, fresh fruit, jams, mustards, pickles & pickled veggies, and a phenomenal bakery. So many delicious baked goods to choose from it was hard to decide what to take home. They have plenty of taster/sampling jars open so you can try the various jams & condiments before you buy. We purchased a jar of jam, a jar of dill pickles (the BEST pickles I've ever had & I wish I had bought 2 jars), a jar pickled green beans (AKA dilly beans, LOVE these), a huge cookie (so many to choose from), a package of apple cider doughnuts (expect to eat one of these right away in your car, they are just too tempting), and a couple of small huckleberry pies (WOW good!). Everything they make is so yummy!

I love this as a quick-stop for the "Fruit Loop". It is easy to access from Highway 35 and is a great showcase for the Parkdale/Odell area. When I stopped by I bought some fresh peaches to take home, as well as some delicious Cinnamon Rolls. And, I also got a local fruit Smoothie with yogurt and Whip Cream on top! I chose Peach and it was very refreshing! Also, don't leave without buying one Cookie, there cookies are very well done!

Love this stop along the Hood River Fruit Loop! There is plenty of parking and they have quite a few picnic tables with umbrellas to sit and enjoy your purchased goodies. The staff is friendly and helpful. They have an awesome variety of goodies. They have the usual farm stand finds...fresh fruit and veggies, homemade James and jarred honey, etc. But they also have a variety of pre-packaged refrigerated items like garlic cheese curds and pickled veggies. They also have canned salsa, sauerkraut, BBQ sauce, stuffed olives, pie filling, pickles and relish. They offer a variety of baked goods as well...cinnamon rolls, cookies, breads, empanadas, pies to name a few. Everything is reasonably priced as well. There's ice-cream available at the counter in the middle of the store too! So many options I was in heaven here! Overall and awesome experience! We'll definitely be back!

Everything here is always a delicious treat. The black and white cookies are by far my favorite! We tried the apple cider doughnuts for the first time on a trip over the mountain this fall and they were so flavorful! We will always return to Packer Orchards. It's a must stop on the Hood River valley.

We stopped here as one of the stops on the Fruit Loop was here. There was a lot in here but yet nothing moved me enough to buy anything. I did buy a few apples but wish I'd waited. I bought my boyfriend a candy apple here. In the end he didn't like it. I would have eaten lunch here but the food was crap food. I'd say that this place is largely worth the stop for kids. There was a corn maze and a lot of stuff for kids to do here. So I totally see why this place is so popular!

Delightful little farm store. We bought some jams for breakfast and cookies for the road. Highly recommend for the sweet tooth.

With the stop while you are driving the Fruit Loop or out in Hood River to bring home some Marionberry pies, empanadas, their famous hot pepper jellies and jams, and don't forget to grab some of their jumbo cookies! There are easily a dozen varieties, ginger snap and spicy Mexican chocolate are my faves. They also sell BBQ sauce, pickles, fruit salsa, jalapeño bread, fudge and more. You can purchase items and have them shipped to your home if you don't live in the area. In pre-Pandemic times you could sample some of these delights to guide your purchasing decisions, but times have changed. In addition to the baked goods, there is an ice cream counter where you can enjoy cones, floats, shakes and sundaes, perfect in a warm day or anytime! You can't miss the red barn like building right on Highway 35. They have a large parking area and now have picnic tables spaced apart right at the start of their orchards. The views of Mt. Adams from here are spectacular, especially on a blue sky day with the snow capped peak standing tall and proud. If you can't make it out to Hood River, Packer Orchards has stands at the Portland Farmers Market in the Park Blocks and other markets in Portland. Often I bail the hot pepper jellies to keep in my pantry for quick appetizer, pouring the jam over cream cheese served with baguette or good crackers. The jams also make fantastic hostess gifts.

So I left a review on Google earlier today about the Asian Pears I purchased about a month ago and you Tammi Packer responded stating I hadn't read the "fine print" concerning the Olympic Variety of your Asian Pears that are not edible for humans only the deer in the field enjoyed most of them and the compost pile got all but 1 ....attached us a pic of the lonely Asian Pear we purchased from you about a month ago !! It hasn't changed to golden yellow yet and I find it highly unlikely it will !! It's got mushy spots on it and I'm very saddened still about this purchase from your Orchard ....Reimbursement of 5 dollars would be acceptable or a gift certificate in exchange for the awkwardness of this situation!! Hi Highly doubting this variety of Asian Pear will develop into a delicious Asian Pear like I got in past years at McCurdy or Draper Girls Orchard on the fruit loop in Hood River !!

Wonderful stop at Packer Orchards today while driving the scenic Fruit Loop in Hood River, Oregon. You will find so many wonderful treats and treasures! Explore the samples and take in the breathtaking views while sitting outside. You're sure to find something for every member of the family.

I tell everyone to stop here! You have to get the lemon moon cookie! I have never had something so delicious. I stock up on them every time I make a trip back home to Oregon! There are also so many options to choose from you can't go wrong! If they are opened you NEED to stop.

A family farm that sells desserts and bakery goods, such as cookies, pie fillings, jam, honey, and shakes. The location is closer to Mt. Hood than Mt. Adams, but their field out front has a gorgeous view of Mt. Adams. The day was sweltering, so cookie shakes sounded like a great idea. You can sample the cookies before bringing one up to the counter to choose your ice cream. Optional complimentary whipped cream on top is also provided. Cookie shakes were $7 each and we got the following combinations: - Mint Ice Cream with Lemon White Chocolate Cookie - Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream with Birthday Cake Cookie At first the shake was good, but I very quickly regretted getting one. It was extremely sweet and I wasn't even close to halfway through before I felt severely nauseous. By the time we reached Timberline Lodge I finally returned to normal, but it took everything to not expel it all during the ride.

Absolutely amazing place. SUPER CLEAN and I love the different flavors of honey that they provide. Also love the different pastries! I'm definitely coming back for peaches next time. The ice cream was just as delicious.

Came here just for the samples :) mostly jams w/ wheat thins ($5 for small jars), 1 sample each of pickles, mango salsa, and BBQ sauce, apple pie dip mix, 4 cookie samples (fav was oatmeal, $2 each or 3/$5), 2 fudge samples (so rich! $7/block), and a rhubarb pie sample (good!). There were also ice cream and shakes available for purchase. I felt obligated to buy something after all those free samples, so I decided to get the MARIONBERRY CINNAMON ROLL ($4 each or 3/$10, they have regular cinnamon rolls too). It was good (& huge so I'm slowly working on it), but surprisingly not as sweet as it looks (not like Cinnabon). Marionberry is not too sweet or tart (you can try a jam sample if you're unsure).

One of the best stops on the Fruit Loop...Breads, cookies, assorted fruit, cinnamon rolls, ice cream, jams, etc... "Number Nine" does not have cider or U-pick, but it has eveything else! There is ample parking and some covered outdoor seating. The employees are very on-the-spot and friendly (unlike Draper Girls').

Stopped in to pick a few pumpkins and they want $18 for admission... JUST TO PICK, THEN PAY FOR PUMPKINS!!!! Yes folks, no lie. I'm an adult, by myself with no desire to participate in the children's activities and they want me to pay. $18 to pick, then pay, for pumpkins. I can't think of many more things that are this ridiculous.

Stop number nine on the fruit loop. They make all sorts of goodies and sweeten them with pear concentrate from the orchard. Well worth the stop!

Great stop for empanadas pies or preserves. Live, love, laugh. You can find ice cream, huckleberry pies, honey. Worth the stop

Love this place! The ladies where making bread today. ice cream, homemade pastries, jams, and gorgeous fresh fruit is for sale. You even have a bonus view of Mt. Adams in the parking lot.

The baked goods here were outstanding. The huckleberry cinnamon roll was large and sweet and just to die for. Staff was friendly. There was an outside sitting area with a nice view. One time use forks and napkins were provided. Everything was clean and we felt safe shopping and eating here. There is plenty of free parking and plenty of room to socially distance. We felt lightyears away from Portland.

Really enjoyed stopping by here that we came back the second time. It was just a quick stop to take a look and ended up buying more than I thought. We enjoyed the huckleberry milkshake, peach/marionberry empanadas, jams/honey and their apple/peach pies. Out of the various places we visited listed on the Hood River Fruit Loop this one was definitely our favorite.

Cute bakery and store right off the main highway through the Fruit Loop! I love the marionberry empanadas and the cookie variety is impressive. You can sample a lot of jams and preserves and also select from a variety of pickled vegetables and other food items. It is on the pricier side, but that's general expected since it's a touristy location.

Great cookies, jam, pies and so on!!! Cookies freeze well so you can enjoy them even longer. Friendly environment. Employees are very helpful and always smiling.

Huckleberry cinnamon roll. Wow. Best cinnamon roll I've ever had. They have some other good options, but really it's the cinnamon roll that makes this an easy 5 stars. Very nice seating outside to enjoy the views.

Disappointed by every baked good we purchased. Cookies and pies are made with low quality ingredients, including shortening (no butter) in both pies and cookies. So gross. We threw away the cookies and pie....did I mention they are incredibly overpriced?? Bread was dry wonder bread with some cheese thrown in. Maybe their pickeled items are good?

I like Packer Orchards and Bakery mainly because I love sending my Dad fresh fruit and preserves every Christmas. And Packer's has a fine assortment of selections on their website. It's easy, too, one price - shipping included and arrives in a timely manner. My favorite stop on the fruit loop and a must go every time I get out to Hood River. The view from their orchard is breathtaking and you best be assured the parking lot is always going to be full. I prefer the jams, pie fillings and pies. The ice cream selection is great and so is the fresh fruits. I'm not such a fan of the cookies or other pastries - a lot of people like 'em so that's a good thing. If you're in Hood River stop off at Packer Orchards and Bakery. Enjoy the drive, breath in the fresh mountain air and have a great time friends and family. You'll be glad you did.

We stopped while touring the fruit loop. I wanted to pick up some late season cherries and possibly peaches, but found that instead of pricing by the pound, these were priced dearly by the container size. We also sampled a couple of cookies that were underwhelming so we took this cue to try somewhere else.

My family and I went to Packer Orchards this afternoon to pick pumpkins, buy apple cider and apples etc. We arrived to an empty parking lot. When we walked into the store (you can't walk anywhere else as it's all fenced in now) there were 2 girls inside. We asked if there was a pumpkin patch. They said "yeah, it's out back, but it costs $5 a person." So we just decided to look around the "store". There was a small bin of apples and pears. No apple cider, no caramel apples, or Indian corn, and no veggies. We couldn't see a pumpkin patch. It was very organized and clean. And very empty - no customers. Except us. We walked out and the girls didn't say a word to us. We decided to try their fruit stand a few miles south on hwy35. We were immediately greeted by a woman saying"you can't have him in here!" (Referring to our dog.) That was the only thing anyone said to us the entire time we were there. We bought a jar of marionberry jam, 2 ice cream cones and a cookie. We were the only customers. No one said anything to us the entire time. Needless to say we won't be back to either Packer location. So much for the local or small town service. And yes, we are local Hood River residents. I've lived here for 20 years.

Was really disappointed stopping in here while driving around the fruit loop on a nice fall weekend. They no longer do any samples of jellies or cookies, nor did they hardly have any cookies even available to buy. When confronted by that many food/flavor options, it's really hard to know what to buy without getting to sample them like at other places. It was really too bad as we used to love coming here for all the goodies.

What a great little place! They have a great selection of free jams, salsa and honey to try. Prices are very reasonable and they are located in such a beautiful area!

Very friendly and generous with the samples. Donut peaches are amazing-- like their own fruit-- and some awesome jams like pumpkin butter and apple pie jam. The fruit is the best, pulling the review up. But... The cookies are okay. Good even, but not as great as some have claimed and the Marionberry empanadas--dry crust and all kinds of meh. Fruit, my friends, come and eat the magnificent fruit!

The cookies ! They are some of the best I've had ! Also had s Marionberry cinnamon roll must I say more ? If you want a good sweet def stop by.Also locals get a discount

Cute fruit stand on the side of Highway 35. It's located on the right side of the road as you head south. The have a large gravel parking lot with plenty of spaces. Right outside they have a large table with samples on it. Lots of fruits and jams to taste, and of course they're all delicious! Don't come here if you're indecisive...you'll have to take everything home! They have lots of samples inside too and everything is incredibly delicious. The jams are outstanding,g especially the Marionberry and Huckleberry ones. They have cookies, snacks, ice cream, more fresh fruit, etc inside. A foodie paradise! We had really wanted to bring jam home, but we didn't plan on checking a bag for our flight home and knew that we couldn't take it as a carry on. So sad. Instead, we bought three of their hand pies: a Marionberry and cream, apricot and raspberry and Marionberry and huckleberry. I'm not usually a crust person, but I did enjoy the crust on these. I tastes more like a pop tart dough that a pie crust. Different, but still tasty. All the people there at the store were very friendly and helpful. I was happy to discover that Packer Orchards has a very well stocked website which I plan to aquire the jam I couldn't bring home with me directly. A happy ending!

Meet these guys at hood river fiesta , oh my dear God , the habanero jam is the best sweet then the heat hit it , awesomeness

Best variety of anywhere in the fruit loop often have fresh huckleberry pies?!! Huge samples lots of fudge and delicious ice cream they even have a cute orchard near them you can take pics in !

We ordered pies ahead of time for a birthday dinner and came at lunch to pick them up. We brought our own picnic and there's shaded seating right there at the bakery along side the road, so it can be loud at times, and then there's a few more uncovered picnic tables at far end of parking lot by the apricot/nectarine orchard. We opted for shade on a hot sunny day. The bakery area is well done... they had a ton of jams to taste test in a tent just outside and inside you could try just about every cookie and other pastry treats they had to offer. The cookies were amazing! We bought ice cream cones for the family. Highly recommend the huckleberry... very fresh. The pies we had later that night were cherry and marionberry - both delicious. one had star cutouts which was fun for 4th of July weekend. The bakery also had a few cardboard cutouts for fun photo ops with the kids. I thought we'd be able to go into the orchards and pick cherries, but that must be at other Packer Orchard location because this was pretty much bakery and a mini orchard of apricot/nectarine trees and that was it for the public. A long drive out for ice cream and pies, but worth if you bring along your own picnic lunch. Great views of Mt. Hood too!

Stopped by the bakery on a Saturday - they sell day-old or several day old bread loaves. The loaf I purchased was stale. Also purchased a goat cheese spread that had mold in it, which I discovered only after opening it at home. Careful what you purchase from here.

Excellent canned goods, ice cream, baked goods. Try all the pickles! Reasonable prices. (for farm-fresh) Friendly staff. Busy on fall weekend. Parking lot port-o-potty less than ideal and badly needed cleaning, but at least it was an option with nothing else around. Well worth a stop.

Great huckleberry jam, homemade empanadas, & cookies. Best place around & worth the drive.

This place is great. Fresh baked goods, jams and ice cream. Try the cinnamon rolls, you won't be disappointed.

Picked up their cinnamon pecan rolls at Vancouver Farmers Market. So happy to have tried these, there's just a little hint of citrus in the icing which makes them special. WAY better than Cinnabon & grocery brands & SO much less work than homemade!! Warmed them up in the oven & added a little butter, best ever!!

I love stopping in for their amazing cookies, $5 for 5. They have an amazing selection of fresh cookies, the black and white and the white chocolate macadamia nut being my favorites. Getting ice cream ($2/scoop) and enjoying it outside with the view of Mt. St. Helens tops off the visits spectacularly.

Full disclosure: have never set foot in this building. However, I frequent their booth at Portland area farmers markets and cannot tell you how amazing their baked good are. W-O-W! One bite of the "black and white" cookies will take you into a blissful space. If you ever encounter them in a market, run to their booth and purchase multiple cookies.

I've purchased cookies from this bakery at the Vancouver Farmers Market and they are amazing!! So soft and fresh. I look forward going to the farmers market so I can buy more cookies.

Great stop on the fruit loop for a snack. Delicious and refreshing smoothies, pies and cookies galore (tried the chocolate macaroon and it was good), and of course fruit and fruit products. Wanted to take a jar of their jam but it wouldn't have been allowed in my carry-on. Minus one star for unkempt and less than friendly service.

In my opinion, the best stop on the fruit loop. You can sample EVERYTHING. Dozens of different types of cookies, pre-cut fruit in season, and disposable dipping strips for all of their jams and jellies. And seriously, some of the best, freshest cookies I've ever had -- you can see them baking right there! If you're from out of town, don't miss this spot on the fruit loop!

Very cute shop with a wide variety of treats! We swung through on a quick trip and are glad we did! The staff was friendly and let us take our time looking at the treats without hounding us with info or asking if we had questions. It was neat that we were able to sample almost everything and then select each cookie, scone, spread and empanada ourselves! I'd highly recommend the empanada as a tasty and surprising road snack! The soft dough melts in your mouth while you taste the not overly sweet filling. The marionberry and cream empanada was the best thing I've had in Oregon so far! Totally worth checking out!
