Gilcrease Orchard Las Vegas

  

Have you visited Gilcrease Orchard in Las Vegas? 

If you're looking for a bit of the Natural Side of Vegas where you can reap the labor of local-grown fruits and veggies then this is the place to visit.

As you can see the facade changes from time to time.

The orchard is a great escape for your children to learn where some foods come from and what it takes to bring them to your table.

There exist many varieties of vegetables and fruits from each season.

In the fall before Halloween is a great time to bring the kids to pick pumpkins and enjoy the spirit. Some buildings are decorated and there's fun for all.

Gilcrease also serves goodies to munch on and drink while visiting. If you visit during the fall you should try the pumpkin doughnuts. They're delicious and made in front of you.

The variety grown in this orchard is more than you would think. You will also find many varieties of fresh vegetables and more types of fruit-bearing trees than you would have thought would grow in the valley.

There's even a local bee hive on-site to help with pollination.

Gilcrease also offers tractor rides for the entire family. This next picture is of an old tractor of some type.

Many people also have their Weddings as Gilcrease.

This is a simple and short write-up about Gilcrease Orchard. I highly recommend you visit during the open season. Be sure to check their Web site for current growing conditions and whether or not they are open - this is a seasonal farm.

We hope you enjoy The Natural Side of Vegas
