Packer Orchards operates The Farm Place, an agricultural retail and tourism site established on an 1890s property in Hood River, Oregon. The family-owned business maintains orchards producing apples and pears, alongside seasonal berry and flower fields open for u-pick activities. Their farm store stocks fresh produce, house-made preserves, and locally sourced gourmet foods through both on-site and online channels. The property hosts the annual Hood River Tulip Festival from mid-March through early May, featuring u-pick tulip fields and temporary food vendor installations. Their permanent bakery produces fresh goods daily, complementing the agricultural offerings with ready-to-eat options. Children's programming includes scheduled story times and dedicated playground facilities. The farm's integration of working agriculture, retail operations, and public access represents a model of modern agritourism in the Mount Hood region. Seasonal crop availability drives their event calendar, with berry picking in summer, pumpkin harvest activities in fall, and orchard operations throughout the growing season. The historic property continues its agricultural heritage while adapting to serve both production and tourism purposes.
