I grew up picking fruits and veggies in my Papa's garden. So when I discovered Gilcrease (only after being in Vegas for almost 10 friggen years! - Shame on me!) I was thrilled! I only wish I had found it a few months earlier so I could have picked the apples, peaches and pears in season.
So here is the deal:
60 acres of crops: apples, peaches, pears, figs, plums, Arugala, Asparagus, Beets, Bok Choy, Carrots, Corn, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Garlic, Kale, Leeks, Melons, Onions, Peas, Potatoes, Pumpkins, Radishes, Squash, Sweet, Potatoes ,Tomatoes ,Zucchini
Check the website for info on what's available seasonally http://www.thegilcreaseorchard.org/
Hours: Seasonal so check the website
wagons are available to haul your stash as you make your way up and down the rows of crops.
This place is one of my new Vegas favorites! So thrilled I can spend a morning picking my own veggies! I definitely suggest going early to avoid the heat and crowds.
In October you can expect to find cider, doughnuts, & hayrides too. Definitely a fun and different way to spend a day in Vegas.
