Williamson Orchards & Vineyards is a fourth-generation operation on Sunnyslope Road, homesteaded in 1909 with grapes planted in 1998. The family farms the Snake River Valley AVA using organic methods where possible, producing wine alongside fruit, and pours in a tasting room along the Sunnyslope Wine Trail.

Gem Orchards grows an unusually deep bench of stone fruit on 32 acres in the Emmett Valley — nine cherry varieties, nineteen peach varieties, five types of nectarine, and three apricots, plus blackberries and raspberries. Trees are kept low for ground-level picking, and the orchard runs on minimal spray with regenerative, conservation-minded practices. The operation traces back to 1997 in Weiser before planting roots in Emmett in 2015, building on the 85-year-old Benson Orchard legacy. U-pick and we-pick both run mid-June through October.

Tyler's Rocky Point Orchard sits at the base of Rocky Point in Emmett — not Melba, despite how it's sometimes listed — growing cherries, apricots, plums, apples, and peaches across roughly a dozen varieties. It's a family-operated, open-air u-pick where visitors fill their own buckets straight from the trees.
