Snack on Shortcake from EZ Orchards this summer

More than a dessert, the shortcake from EZ Orchards is a summer rite of passage—a sun-soaked tradition served in a bowl, crowned with a scoop of velvety ice cream and a cloud of whipped cream. It’s sweet, nostalgic, and just the right amount of indulgent.

Choose your base—classic shortcake or buttery biscuit—and dive into a treat that tastes like childhood and sunshine. The Shortcake Stand opens in May with the first flush of local strawberries and runs through early September, celebrating Oregon’s vibrant fruit season. As summer ripens, so do the flavors. Late June brings a medley of blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries in the mixed berry shortcake. In July, orchard-fresh peaches steal the show.

In addition to shortcake, the stand serves up sundaes, milkshakes, smoothies, and Italian sodas—all perfect for beating the heat. But the shortcake? That’s the must-have. It’s a memory-making, lip-smacking celebration of the season.
