DESCRIPTION:
Miller Orchards, located in Cove, Oregon, are one of the largest commercial cherry orchards
in Eastern Oregon. The orchards have been family-operated for over thirty years, and have long-standing
relationships with both packers and warehouse operators. The 150± acres make-up one contiguous cherry
orchard, and bids may be submitted for Parcel A or Parcel B individually, or both Parcels A and B combined.
The Seller reserves the right to reject all bids unless the combined total accepted bids equal, or exceed, $760,000.
Oregon is the nation’s third largest cherry producer, growing 11% of the US crop. The Cove area has been a
center of cherry production for over one hundred years due to climate, elevation and irrigation water, which is in
plentiful supply. Cherry production for the Miller Orchards for 2012 was approximately 900,000 gross lbs., with
70% of the volume in Lambert and Lapin cherries.
Parcel A is made up of two orchard areas known as the Nishii Orchard and the West Orchard. Combined, these
two orchards total 57± acres in size, with 24± acres planted in mostly Lambert and Lapin cherries, and 3± acres
planted in Bing cherries. Water is provided to the Nishii Orchard by Certificates C-395 and C-75574. Water is

of the Nishii Orchard, by use of Wade Road. The minimum lot size for the Nishii Orchard is 10 acres, providing
