Apple Hill Farms

My goal for this year is to make it as easy as possible for you, our guests, to visit Apple Hill Grower farms and experience the quality and variety products we produce and services we offer. Toward this end, this Cider Press publication is a great resource that will inform you about our farms, activities, and products, to make sure you to get the most out of your visit.

Despite the challenges we’ve all experienced these past several years, Apple Hill Grower farms strive to be creative and innovative to bring you an unforgettable experience that will keep you coming back year after year. Our growers range from multi-generational farms to first time farmers that have decided to make the rural farm life their new home. Despite our varied backgrounds and experiences, one thing that is consistent across all our farms is that when you see the classic Apple Hill Growers’ red barn shaped sign, you can expect the highest quality products and service during you visit.

We invite you to bring your family and friends to sample our farm fresh fruits and vegetables and bake shop goodies, taste our quality wines and hard ciders, breathe in the fresh mountain air, enjoy special activities with spectacular views, and just enjoy the moment. Watch for the latest news on our Instagram page instagram.com/applehillofficial, or learn about our 50+ farms’ offerings and plan your visit at our website applehill.com or our Apple Hill app.

Due to popular demand and limited supply, Rapetti Farms is not currently accepting new customers. Replanting efforts are underway to expand future supply. Weddings available, too.

Hacienda Orchards - Hacienda Orchards is a 10-acre Christmas Tree Farm, founded in 1998, and features rolling, scenic topography. Although it is more labor intensive, we meticulously hand trim every tree for perfect shape and density. This gives our trees a natural appearance and texture. Our eco-friendly farm management ensures that your tree is naturally grown.

Mon-Sun 9-5, Day after Thanksgiving thru Dec. 24 or when sold out.

The Apple Hill Growers and our individual ranch members believe in giving back to our local community. We focus on the needs of youth in our area by providing resources that cultivate a connection between agriculture, food, and natural resources. Here are just a few of our community projects and partners:

Norma Brubaker Scholarships – Since 1986 Apple Hill Growers have awarded more than 100 scholarships through the Norma Brubaker Scholarship program.

El Dorado County Ag in the Classroom – This local, grassroots, charitable organization provides quality agriculture-related educational resources, programs, and training opportunities to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of agriculture in our lives.

Farm Day – These are fun, hands-on field trips where lessons of agriculture and its role in our everyday live. Visit agintheclass-edc.org/programs-resources/farm-day/ for more information.

Apple Hill Harvest Run – This is one of the oldest runs in California. All proceeds of the run directly benefit the students of Camino Union School District. Find out more at applehillrun.org.
