FALL IS IN THE AIR
With temperatures dropping into the 40's at night, but plenty of heat during the day, with leaves just beginning to ripen to gold, with apples and pears coming out of the orchards and pumpkins beginning to appear at farmstand bins, we are feeling the first hints of fall. This is the ideal season for mosquito free treks on high mountain trails and for feasting indoors and al fresco. Check out the new cideries in Cascade Farmlands, and book a charming room in any of our 12 communities. Our new mobile phone map reveals a fun directory of choices!

We received a call from the "west side" of the Cascades last week about peach season. Here are answers from Peter Van Well, a third generation orchardist and co-owner of Van Well's Nursery. Peter and his brothers ship top quality stone fruit seedlings around the county to orchardists. Michigan grows noteworthy fruit but, according to Peter, no American location surpasses North Central Washington!
