HISTORIC BUCKNER ORCHARDS The rich history of the Buckner Orchards stretches back to 1889 when the land was first homesteaded. Over the years, it has become a cherished symbol of Stehekin’s agricultural heritage. Each October, the tight-knit community of Stehekin eagerly anticipates the arrival of the harvest festival, a tradition lovingly organized by the Buckner Homestead Heritage Foundation. During this festive occasion, visitors and locals alike come together to partake in a host of engaging activities. From apple-picking adventures in the picturesque orchards to the opportunity to craft one’s own cider, the festival offers a genuine hands-on experience. It’s a time when the entire community celebrates the changing of the seasons, a cherished reminder of Stehekin’s enduring connection to its agricultural roots.
