Crow Mountain Orchards
Crow Mountain Orchards has been growing produce for five decades in the unincorporated community of Fackler in Jackson County.
While the produce could be picked straight from the ground, the orchard made an even bigger name for itself through its famous apple cider.
It also wasn’t just about the product. The Deutschers made sure it was a place people wanted to visit for the fruit, the views and the community.
Here’s what some online reviews said about Crow Mountain Orchards:
“The view on the way here is beautiful too. If you can’t visit this place since it’s far, they usually have some stalls in your local farmers market. And oh, we love their apple cider!”
“I purchased land about three miles from this Market/Orchard and visit each time I go to the property. Seasonal fruit of many varieties and never had a bad apple. People are very nice and it’s a scenic drive going and coming.”
