Draper Girls Country Farm in Mt. Hood Parkdale, Oregon is the iconic Hood River Valley fruit-and-flower farm — about 90 minutes east of Portland, in the orchard belt below Mt. Hood. The marquee features are the cherries (June-July, the Hood River Valley signature), apples (August-October), pears (August-October), and the dahlia field (August-September) which is one of Oregon's most-photographed cut-your-own flower destinations. The farm has been a family operation for multiple generations and is one of the smaller, more intimate Hood River agritourism stops.
What to expect
Drive I-84 east from Portland to Hood River, then south on Highway 35 toward Mt. Hood. Parkdale is signed. Park at the main farm. Pick-your-own runs by Hood River season — cherries summer, apples-pears fall. The dahlia field (August-September) is the marquee photogenic feature. Cut-your-own flower bouquets. Pair with the Hood River wineries, the Mt. Hood scenic loop, or the historic Hood River downtown.
What to bring
