Since Wenatchee Insurance is located in the Apple Capital of the World, we do our best to meet the Orchards and small businesses in our area. One of the ways that we are able to is by visiting their fruit stand during harvest. We do our best to carry cash to lower transaction fees. If you want fresh fruits & vegetables while putting money directly into farmers hands then this is one of the best ways to do it.

While there are some very large tourist driven stands, we have been doing our best to visit the smaller operations. Some of these we have been visiting 20 plus years while others it has been our first stop. We are doing farm house rules by purchasing something fresh and something preserved.

Here is the map:

Rules for fruit stand visits.

1. Bring cash. The smaller operations will appreciate you as they don’t have to make transaction fees.
2. Don’t be afraid to call ahead or ask if you don’t see something. It’s literally how I got Pie Cherries.
3. When you find one that is awesome then take a picture and share them on Facebook. Bonus points if you tag them so that more people can find them.
4. If we missed a favorite one then let us know in the comments.
