Thanks to the Gilcrease Family and their generosity, a 60 acre patch of the most fertile farming land in the Las Vegas area is still preserved.  Located on the north side of town, Gilcrease Orchard  is 60 acres of agricultural land where you can visit and hand pick your own fruits and vegetables throughout the year.

The two Gilcrease brothers, Ted and Bill kept this wonderful farm alive for many years.  This was the Brothers’ dream, that the Orchard would be a place where families could bring their children and enjoy a sampling of the kind of life the brothers knew. They wanted to preserve this unique gem where the community can pick food fresh off the tree or vine and see, feel, and taste the difference.

The Pumpkin Patch

In the fall, Gilcrease Orchard has one of the best pumpkin patches in the West!   Gilcrease Orchard Pumpkin Patch will be back next fall.

At this time, Gilcrease Orchard is closed for the season. Hours and days will change slightly as the weather cools off.  Come out early to beat the heat, wear the right shoes and put on your sunscreen!  They even offer a free Gilcrease Orchard app available to download that has a GPS locator that shows you where you are in relation to the produce you want to pick.

I recommend going to the Orchard early in the day, rather than later.  My kids loved running around, and getting some cider and donuts as well.  I was raised on a small farm, so I love that my kids can experience all that fresh produce here in this big city.
