Mt View Orchards mural: Monday Mural

This Mt View Orchards mural is located in Parkdale, Oregon. The plants growing around the mural make it blend into the background.

This is one of our favorite businesses to visit to buy fresh local fruit in the fall. You can pick your own fruit and flowers or buy what they’ve harvested. They also produce beer, wine, and cider. This beautiful 50+ acre site was featured on a Top Chef episode in 2021.

This business is part of the Hood River Fruit Loop. There are 28 farms open to visitors along the 35-mile route .

Here’s some of the fruit we bought last year. Yum!

And here’s a view of the flowers growing near the Mt View Orchards mural. Unfortunately, Mount Hood was hidden by the clouds the day we visited. When it’s out, it makes a perfect background for weddings and other events hosted at this facility.

Mount Hood, seen below on a previous trip, proudly towers over Parkdale’s many fruit orchards.
