High Country Orchard Our third and final stop was High Country Orchard. Fun Fact: My husband and I were married in Texas, but we had a wedding reception here in Spokane at High Country Orchard! It’s such a pretty space and obviously has a place near and dear to our hearts, so we almost always visit their store and grab some ice cream when visiting Green Bluff. For lunch, we enjoyed some nice time on their outdoor patio under the umbrellas. High Country Orchard is best described as a great spot to meet up with girlfriends for lunch. They have all of your classic lunch favorites like sandwiches, wraps, and salads, all with a little extra flair. Speaking of extra flair, you HAVE to try their “Strawberry Basil Brie Panini.” We also may have fought over the last bites of the “Reuben Sandwich.” We all agreed it’s one of the best you can find in Spokane. This was our third stop and you’d think we were full, but their food was so tasty, we couldn’t stop nibbling! In addition to savory lunch specials, High Country Orchard also has fantastic desserts like cookies, ice cream, a wonderful lemon bar, and caramel apples (seasonal). Their desserts are the perfect way to end a fun day picking fruit on the bluff. 56 ART CHOWDER MAGAZINE
