Green Bluff Charm and History

Green Bluff

Cooler temperatures, bold colorful trees, and ripe pumpkins bring a new energy to the Inland Northwest.  Harvest in Washington State is the time for family, friends, and celebration.  Many families are familiar with Green Bluff located in Colbert, Washington.  The Green Bluff Growers’ Association started in 1902.  There are over 46 different farms.  Each farm has its own expertise and charm.  Corn maizes, pumpkin patches, pumpkin chunkin, tractors, apple orchards, crafts, carmel, antiques, and apple pies are all on the bluff!
