What you can pick
In August, check what’s currently ripe before you go. Seasons below are typical windows for Montana, not a guarantee for this exact farm.
Before you go
A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in Montana.
- Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
- Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
- Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
- Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“This is my favorite place to stop on our way to glacier to get cherries. They are always so yummy and not bad on pricing. This is a must go to spot if you are going through the area. They have other things as well. I’ve picked up some different items for gifts for friends and family. The restroom there is always clean. And the staff is friendly and always ready to answer any questions you may have.”

“This is the better place to buy cherries/other goods on 35 Mountain Highway. It’s a bigger space, has more jelly, soap, wine and gift options, and is family run. Denise and Chad are professional and great at answering any questions about the orchard. They also have an interesting love story, if you get the chance to ask them 😊”

“Diane and her mom Marilyn could not have been nicer or more friendly. They were patient answering all my questions and I reserved tart cherries as I have in the past. The cherry juice I got is phenomenal, and I plan on stocking up when I pick up my tart cherries! Best cherry stand on the lake.”

“Excellent cherries. I especially loved the cherry juice. No sugar added. It really helps with inflammation. I felt fit. The Cherry wine by a campfire was all that was needed to make the starry sky even more pleasant. The taste was incredibly delicious. I wish I would've bought more!”

“Nice place. Staff seemed friendly, unlike what I read on a bunch of reviews. I almost didn't go, but glad I did. Prices seemed fair. They had Bing and Rainier cherries to sample.”

“We bought two bottles of wine on our way to Glacier. Opened one bottle and it was pure vinegar! Will be returning both bottles. Unfortunately we have to travel back over 40 miles to return these. Update - so we tried to return the wine. They said that is how their wine is supposed to taste. Ummm, been drinking dry red wines and rose for 30 yrs from a variety of brands to include wines when we visited Italy and Germany. We are Cooper Hawks members as well so get wine of the month. We also bought a dry peach wine in Palisade, CO which was very good. So Bowmans would not refund our money. I will use the wine for cooking in recipes calling for red wine vinegar.”
