Tower Gardens
Contact & location
Where Tower Gardens is located
Tower Gardens sits within the Montana apple belt, close enough to Missoula for a quick drive and far enough out for open sky and orchard rows on the horizon.
There isn't a formal street address on file, so Missoula, MT plus a call to the farm the day before is the safest bet.
Plan on making it a mini road trip. The surrounding back roads are worth the detour in fall color, and Missoula itself usually has a farmers market or cider stop within a few minutes of the orchard.

Apple Picking at Tower Gardens
Tower Gardens sells pre-picked apples from the farm stand rather than offering U-Pick.
On-Farm Activities
Best Time to Visit
Apple season at Tower Gardens tracks the rest of Montana. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. If you can only make one trip, late September through early October gives you the best odds of finding both early and mid-season apples on the trees at the same time.
Fall festival weekends can double the crowd overnight, so it's worth checking the orchard's social feed the day before you go. Off-festival weekdays are typically wide open.

- • Water bottles for the walk
