Digging for Washington State Orchard History

-->

-->


I just love to travel through Eastern Washington. Many would say that the land looks similar.  When looking closely we observe basalt columns, rich farmland, orchards, and vineyards.  My husband’s family owned a large orchard in Yakima.  Parts of the orchard were sold through the years, but to this day families still boast of their long orchard history in and around Eastern Washington.  My social studies textbook does not cover much about Washington State’s agriculture. 
Many of these links do have primary source information.
