Yakima Valley, settled between high desert grassland hills, includes towns such as Naches, Yakima, Union Gap, Toppenish, Zillah, Sunnyside, Grandview, & Prosser.
This fertile valley, enhanced by irrigation waters and abundant sunshine, produces fruits, vegetables, grapes, and 75% of the United States hop crop.
Acres of apple, pear, plum, & cherry trees, blueberry bushes, vineyards with varietal grapes that support local wineries, and hops that are shipped around the nation & used by local breweries...all grow here.
Wine tasting is popular, as is sampling craft beers.
Vegetables such as asparagus, tomatoes, corn, peppers, and melons supply abundant local produce stands, and retail grocery stores.
