2026 U-Pick Apple Season Cancelled
Due to the freeze in May 2026, Green Bench Orchard’s 2026 U-Pick apple season in Missoula, Montana is cancelled. We will not have a U-Pick apple season this year. We hope to make a comeback in 2027.
Where to find apples near Missoula in 2026
Our friends at Swanson’s Mountain View Orchard in Corvallis, Montana have apples for U-Pick this season. Most of their varieties were also hit by the freeze, but their McIntosh trees have apples to pick. Corvallis is about 45 miles from Missoula in the Bitterroot Valley. Visit Swanson’s Mountain View Orchard website and follow them on Instagram and facebook for event dates and updates. Their storefront opens on October 1, 2026 and will be having apple events in the Bitterroot Valley.
