Creston
Fresh Fruit anyone?
Along highway 3 through 'Erickson', right in the heart of the apple and cherry orchards, you can purchase fruit from many fruit stands offering locally grown specialties. Although grown throughout the valley, this area was the traditional growing zone for many varieties of apples and cherries and some of the fruit stands have been 'in the family' for years.
