Apple dumpling heaven! Came here for breakfast! Didn't know what to try today so I got an apple turn over, a dumpling and donut. I highly recommend the apple dumpling you will not be disappointed! They even warm it up for you and top it off with warm Carmel. Excellent team work and service. Outdoor seating area to enjoy your pastry. read more

First time visitor to any Apple Hill farm in September 2026. The zinnia superbloom walk was absolutely beautiful. I can't believe it's free! It was breathtaking to crest over the walking path and see the rows and rows of flowers. My family and I walked around the property to laugh at the little kid maze, with walls high enough so kids can't see but low enough that parents can monitor. The parking situation was not particularly stressful for a Sunday morning. Would return. read more

A must stop in Apple Hill! The food is expensive but a tip is to order the Pulled pork sandwich and split it. It's huge! This place is great if you have kids! Plenty to do include mining! I saw some with an ice cream Sundae that looked delicious! The Pumpkin Muffins also looked scrumptious! read more

Perfect Spot for a Fall Day [Apple Hill|Camino CA] The number of orchards in Apple Hill can be overwhelming that's why each year my eldest daughter always has a game plan to visit farms we haven't tried yet (and some repeat visits to our favorites) This was my first time at the Apple Ridge Farms. We spent most of our time here. There was a lot to do including an actual u-pick Apple orchard. Apple Ridge Farms is dog friendly. BBQ and Bakery with a full menu including sandwiches, salads and sides. They had a special on apple pies this weekend... $20 for a whole pie. Picnic Area - got our lunch and enjoyed it in the covered picnic area. Love their fries! Apple Barn - frozen pies, pastries, apple cider, fresh apples, Christmas boutique Country Store - filled with jams, jellies, fudge, chocolates, and great gift ideas Nature trail - visitors are able to choose between an easy trail and a not-so-easy trail. We chose the easy trail but I think they are both easy. Flower trail - unfortunately our visit was in early November and we missed when the flowers were in bloom. September would be the best time to visit and check out the colorful zinnias. Free to access. Gem mining - daughter has enjoyed this activity in other places since she was little. She's 23 now and still has fun with this experience. There is a fee for this activity. Pop ups Artisan Crafters - arts & crafts including wood works, handmade jewelry, handcrafted soaps and candles, paintings, dried nuts and fruits. Unique finds! Face painting - we did not do this activity due to time constraints but daughter had wanted one of Patrick Starr (SpongeBob Square Pants)... next time! Portable toilets are on-site.

3 stars are for service. Ambiance is totally 5 stars! If you have little ones, this is the ideal location! We did not try any of their food. We peeked at it, but didn't seem like folks were digging it. I think what this place has, is one of the cutest spaces. Large, thoughtful, cute, shop is adorable. Again, if you have young children, this is perfect. My issue is when we went in to shop (it was our last stop, still had approx $400 cash, our daughter said we are going to buy a lot, so we went in ready) and the cashier ruined our spending vibe immediately. She felt the need to come out from behind her counters/register & follow my black, 64 year old husband around. So we left, cash still in pocket. We will never go back. read more

Ordered one apple cider donut and an apple turnover. Service is great, but the bakery items were not. The apple cider donut is made "fresh" in the MORNINGS, so when you receive them they are cold but still soft (as they should be if they were just made that morning). It's a cake donut, so be prepared for it to be a bit dense. There was no cinnamon or nutmeg flavor to the donut whatsoever. It didn't really taste like fall to me, but instead like any other donut you can grab from a donut shop elsewhere. Dare I say even Walmart.. HARD PASS!! The cashier said her favorite thing was the apple turnover. PLEASE DON'T GET THIS! I feel so lied to, it's crazy! The dough was not flaky at all and almost soggy! It was reminiscent of if they microwaved it and the texture became flat. There was a good amount of apples inside, sliced in good sizes but it also had no cinnamon flavor! Just tasted like they cooked apples over a stove with a tiny bit of sugar. So bland, I couldn't finish this. There was a huge line for the "barbeque" that day. I wouldn't really call it barbeque because it's just tri tip and pulled pork sandwiches and burgers. The entire land itself was cute but nothing to write home about. I won't be returning. Go to Rainbow Orchards for MADE TO ORDER (HOT!!) apple cider donuts. read more

One of our families favorite farms to visit. This farm has something for everyone. Two shops with apples, apple cider, trinkets, fudge and unique gifts. They do have an eatery & a separate Bake shop. The food line for eatery is usually very long so get in line early. The bake shop was a short wait time each time we come. We love their apple & seasonal donuts made fresh daily. The tri tip sandwiches were really good too. Be sure to check out the family friendly trail to walk along the orchard. There are two paths the upper path is family friendly you can walk along the butterfly garden. The lower path takes you down and around the orchard and can be steep at times but a lot of fun to walk. Try out the Gold panning area to find some gold for the kids. For an addl charge they have a wooden maze for kids. They have a gated pond on property and many picture opportunities with the stand up frames to put your head through that are free. Big grass area to sit for picnic or just sit to enjoy the sights and sounds. some weekends they will have a craft fair lots of local art and crafts, soaps, jewelry and many more items for sale. The staff are always friendly and happy to give directions, if needed. read more

Apple ridge farms is definitely one of the best places to stop on Apple Hill and has any and everything that you could possibly want. They have stores and vendors, hot food, a bakery, a pumpkin patch, A flower walk and the cutest cutouts for taking pictures. There is plenty of seating and the parking is ample and located very close to the action. We really enjoyed our walk through their flower area and they even have a longer more difficult trail if you want to do a hike with the family. Our dog enjoyed exploring and having room to roam. Watch for falling acorns though! There were large gusts of dusty wind on our walk and my husband got pelted by multiple acorns, one which left him with a large bruise. This was still definitely one of our favorite stops with so much to see and do. If you can only make one stop on Apple Hill, this would most likely be my recommendation. read more

A wonderful stop along the famous Apple Hill trail of farms and orchards! Apple Ridge Farms is a great spot for both families and couples. There's so much for kids to do -- from the gold mine area to the maze -- while adults can enjoy picking apples or sampling delicious treats from the bakery. The caramel corn is a must-try, and our personal favorites are the strawberry rhubarb pie and the apple dumpling with ice cream -- a colossal dessert that's perfect for sharing. A truly fun and tasty experience for everyone! read more

This was a good stopping point for our family on the way home from Tahoe. We picked 7 lbs of apples for $22 ($10 for a bucket and $3/lb for every lb after the first 3 lbs). The farm grows three varieties of apples: Braeburn, Pink Lady apples, and Granny Smiths. My favorites are the Pink Ladies for their sweet tart flavor. We came just before Thanksgiving and it was definitely the tail end of apple picking seasons with many of the trees in the orchard picked clean. But if you walk further down into the or hard, there are still other trees with plenty of fruit. My kids had so much fun using the fruit pickers they provided, and my little ones proudly picked the lower hanging fruit. The farm also has a bakery with a variety of pies available including apple, peach, blueberry and strawberry rhubarb. Everything looked delicious and I wished we had the stomach to try them all, but we got a traditional apple and peach pie to bring to Thanksgiving dinner. We grabbed lunch on site for the convenience. and ate hot dogs, rib eye sandwiches, fries and garlic fries. Everything is on the pricier side, which is what you'd expect to pay. The hot dogs were okay but the fries were extra crispy and battered. We'll be back! read more

This is one of the bigger farms in the area. There was a line of cars going in when I arrived, but they had plenty of parking spots though. Tons of things to do here as well. There was an apple barn (with a sample counter), country store, little pumpkin patch, nature trail, barkey, and food. I got lunch for them. Got their pull pork salad, hot dog, and chili. They def didn't hold back on their meat portion. Nothing was amazing, but it did the job. read more

This was our first stop at Apple Hill and it did not disappoint! We had an easy time finding parking but we also came right when it opened. There were a few tents that were selling small trinkets, jerky, and a variety of nuts. We stopped by the bakery and took an apple dumpling to go. We also got to try the apple cider which was amazing! They have another store where they had some Christmas decorations and other goodies. read more

Apple Ridge Farms - Hello! - Bakeries Near Me - Camino, California

This was our 3rd and final stop during our Apple Hill visit. We originally planned on going to Grandpa's Cellar but the line for the apple coffee flights were crazy, so we ended up going here instead. Apple Ridge was also busy since it was the weekend before Halloween. At this point in the day, all the apple orchards started to look and feel the same. I got a Hot Apple Cider donut and a Cinnamon Roll here, both of which were just ok. We walked a bit around the shops but didn't stay too long. It's a good idea to plan and research which Apple Orchards you want to hit up and get the most popular ones out of the way since the crowds, parking and lines can take up a good chunk of time. read more

One of the larger, more commercialized farms in Apple Hill. We arrived on Saturday to a large outdoor market, their own stores, a maze, gold panning, apple picking and a beautiful flower field. This place is pretty cool, but it's kind of confusing discovering it for the first time. I had come here because of a dessert I had seen on their Insta and after an hour ended up leaving without it. I just couldn't figure out where they sold it and the folks onsite didn't seem to know what I was talking about. read more

Our first time at this farm during our Apple Hill visits. Our friend read on their website that they have flower picking. She was very excited to do the flower picking. But we were told no flower picking just looking at the same flower in the field they have. Nice dirt walk way to look and take pictures. I noticed that they had other little buildings also. They had a shop, bakery and a few others I think one was also food BBQ. They only had the outhouse restrooms up near the parking lot with hand washing stations. They had mining for the kids. They had a few tents up with people selling crafts and things. read more

Visited Apple Ridge as if it was a brand new experience only to realize I'd been there many years before when my oldest was just a little one. For the families with little littles, this is a great stop. They have a fun maze, pumpkin patch, numerous photo opps, and all the usual treats and lunch you'd expect. I'd say the fun of these attractions wanes when you hit the 5+ age group, so just be aware. Apple Ridge does boast a nice lunch counter and I think on this visit we discovered the best deal on lunch in all of Apple Hill. Order "sides" of pulled pork ($6) and fries ($4) and top it with chopped onion, pickled jalapenos, pickles and signature bbq sauce from the condiment station and enjoy! I also like the covered tables and seating options here! Apple Ridge also boasts a sizeable vendor village with all sorts of crafts and stuff to peruse. A decent stop for lunch with activities for littles, but if you're an older crew, this one may not be for you. read more

This farm is on the larger side and has pretty much everything you need - baked goods, bbq/food menu, flower trail, pumpkin patch, hay maze, vendors, apple themed store. It's a good one to stop at if you want to spend a while at one place! Parking wasn't too bad since we arrived about an hour after opening on a Sunday but it did look pretty full by the time we left. read more

This is going to be as busy as it gets in Apple hill in October. The lines were for the bbq and bakery are insane. Lined for the Apple cider and fudge were super easy though. Only portable bathrooms and really hard to find parking. I didn't find many places that had u pick so we were really happy that they had this as an option and definitely a pro! Admission is $10 per family but goes towards your Apple purchase. Apples are $3 a pound and they had plenty of Apple pickers to use! If we came on a weekday if would be really enjoyable! read more

I'm new to California and just found out about apple farms, which are great fun. This is a very nice one and one of the few that actually has apples right now; I suppose there was a freeze that destroyed many apples this year. It seemed like there was some kind of farmer's market going on with lots of tents, but I just stuck to buying apples and trying some apple cider and an apple cider donut. Both were incredible but I will say that the apple cider was phenomenal! This is a great weekend activity especially in the fall. read more

This was my first time to Apple Hill and my 4th stop on the trip! This stop was my favorite and I would definitely return here!! Parking was pretty easy and one way in/out for the main road. There was one main bake shop that smelled amazing inside. Again, we were too full to eat at this point but everything looked really good. Down the way they had 2 barn style shops filled with Halloween and Christmas items. They also had jam/butter tasting. The lady serving the samples was very friendly and knowledgeable. We wandered around and took pictures at their many cut out spots. They also had a pretty flower trail that was not difficult to walk to. Everything was open on Tuesday. They have a pumpkin patch, kids maze, and gold panning. read more

What a great place for a day trip. I went to Apple Ridge Farms with a friend to go apple picking. They provide buckets and tools to pick the apples. It was a lovely time and very self explanatory. The only qualm I have is that many of the apples had fallen on the floor when I went, so there was a strong smell of fermenting apples. read more

**Apple Ridge Farm: A Must-Visit at Apple Hill!** Wow, what an experience! Our first visit to Apple Ridge Farm during the Apple Hill festivities completely exceeded expectations. The moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spacious and welcoming the farm is. The parking lot was huge, which made it so easy to find a spot -- something that's hard to come by in the busier hours, especially on weekends. We got there around 10 am, and there was plenty of space to park, which is a game-changer when you're trying to enjoy a family day out. A huge bonus is that they have designated parking for families with handicapped needs, and the best part? The bathrooms and hand-washing stations are right there in that same parking area, making it super convenient for everyone. Once we were settled in, there was so much to do! The whole farm had a relaxed, inviting vibe. The kids had a blast mining for gems (my nephew was *so* excited about finding "gold"!), and it was an activity that kept them engaged for a long time. The nature trail and vibrant tulip flowers were beautiful to walk through, and the apple trees were just as picturesque as you'd expect this time of year. The farm also had lots of shaded picnic areas, so you could enjoy your lunch in comfort. Speaking of food, there were some great options! We grabbed BBQ, kettle corn and corn dogs. The corn dog is a must!! Everything was fresh and tasty. And the desserts--wow. The berry pie and apple dumpling were absolutely delicious, though we didn't get to try the apple pie this time (but it's on the list for next time, for sure). There are also two bake shops to explore, so you'll never go hungry for sweets. We didn't even make it to the pumpkin patch or check out all the baked goods before it was time to head out. Time really flies here! The farm had definitely filled up by the time we left, and parking was a bit more challenging as we were heading out, but that's the perfect sign of a fun, popular place. If you're planning to visit, definitely get there early. The fun, the food, and the beautiful surroundings make it an absolute must, and we can't wait to come back! **What you can expect at Apple Ridge Farm:** * A scenic nature trail * A pumpkin patch (perfect for fall!) * Vibrant tulip flowers and apple orchards * A gem and gold mining station (a hit with kids!) * Delicious BBQ, kettle corn, and homemade baked goods * Two different bake shops to satisfy your sweet tooth Highly recommend visiting -- you won't regret it! read more

A little far afield it is nonetheless worth a visit. Nestled in a beautiful forested country setting the buildings and infrastructure are new, pristine and very well cared for. There are several buildings with good walking paths, and each has a distinct offering. We noticed that even the crafts and gift related stuff (there's a lot for Christmas right now) is better quality. Prices seem fair. There are bins of apples and food products, including the ubiquitous pies and bakery goods. Everything looked good and fresh. There's a lot of good outdoor seating to grab a snack or a meal and head out to a picnic table under the towering trees. It was enjoyable to just wander place to place, and it seemed very relaxed and tranquil compared to other places visited. They began winding down, wrapping up and closing up so we couldn't experience it as much as we would have liked. I would definitely come back again. read more

This is a family favorite! We love all of the fun photo ops and have a family tradition to take a picture every year! They have gem mining, a hay maze for the littles, which the kids love and a great trail. It's beautiful and lots of places to sit and picnic. They have a shop and amazing food! The Apple dumplings with caramel are my favorite! Yum! Customer service has always been so great too! read more

Probably one of the best farm in the area with lots of things to do! I love their baked goods. A stand out for me are their apple cider donuts. They are NOT to sweet and a tip I learned on my last visit is that they freeze well! Now more reason for me to buy a dozen every visit. It's great for the family as there are so many seating areas, vendors, and easy parking! read more

This place is more like a hanging out spot rather than apple farm. This spot has different areas for shop, play area, bakery, restaurant, kids mining, and hiking. My kid did the maze several times and it was fun. He also did the fun gem mining and he stayed there for a long time. I tried the apple donut and it was good. It is a dense donut with crispy skins and soft center. This is a good place to have a big group gathering. read more

It's been a couple years since I've been to Apple Hill and Apple Ridge Farms is always a must visit. It seems like every time that I come it gets bigger and better. They have lots of great food from both the grill area and the bake shop. Out of all the farms, I like their apple doughnuts the most. They have a large covered area (permanent structure) and 2 large tented structures for you to eat at with picnic tables for you to eat at. The gift shops have lots of treats and crafts for you to purchase. They have plenty of activities for the kids and plenty of opportunities for photos. They have a nice small pumpkin patch during September/October. I can wait to see what they add next year. read more

10/10 Dutch Apple Pie a la mode. Everything was so cute, and compared to the other orchard's pies, Apple Ridge Farms has the best Dutch apple pie. They have an easy walk nature trail that surrounds the beautiful Flower garden. Come during Fall and you can catch the red and yellow leaves fly through the wind. The service was good. The bakery and shop staff were so nice and gave us free samples of the jellies and salsa. Only sad part was they do not allow dogs inside the shops and bakery, but no biggie! Our pup had an amazing time strolling through the paths and through the gardens. read more

Cute place with a lot to do for the kids. There was a sort of craft vendors area too (lots of jewelry options including Xmas earrings). The "flower trail" is inspirational. Gorgeous patches of flowers part of a small trail loop. Didn't get a chance to go apple picking though I saw the sign say $10 admission. What I did get a chance for was have a yummy triple berry pie w ice cream. I know donuts are a big deal out here but for me, it was eh. Pulled pork sandwich and the cheeseburger is decent but not why we drive out here. Had a BBQ today sign but I asked about it at the place we got our sandwiches and they didn't really have anything, just the sandwiches and I guess typical fair food. It is very spacious and kid-friendly. Some cool stuff. Definitely coming back. read more

Great ciders, great people that service the place, beautiful views, I will be back - very soon. Thank you for such a great time!

Apple Ridge Farms use to be my wifes and Mine favorite farm , thats has changed. Unfortunately the last couple times we visited apple Ridge farms food was NOT good. Corn Dog was undercooked, batter was raw, smoked pulled pork sandwich was extremely dry, dutch apple pie was OLD , seems like the pie was baked days ago, even my wifes favorite apple turnover was extremely stale. Apple donut was hard and stale NOT fresh So sad, this was such a awesome place for fresh food and pastries , NOt anymore. I hope things change. read more

This place has a little bit of everything that you could want from Apple Hill. It's such a kid and dog friendly place. The only thing is no alcohol. There is an apple barn, bake shop, hay maze, corn maze, pumpkin patch and gemstone mining. The apple barn had 3 variety of apples and a large array of Christmas decorations. There are some jarred products like apple butter and candied jalapeno. The vendors were fun to browse around. I got a wooden truck for my son. It was such good quality. I hope to get one each year to add to his collection every time we come here. The gemstone mining was fun for the kids. I think it's more fun for the little kids as the process is rather simple. It really is just panning for rocks in a pile of sand that gets washed away in the water. There are a few options to choose. I got the $12 green bag. It came with large rocks. The blue one has fossils and the other color had less rocks but bigger in size. It was good enough to split between two kids. Once we chose our bag, it was dumped in our pan and we doused it in water to wash away the sand and reveal the "gems". The gems are really just large rocks. Some were crystal like and we did get a rock half coated in gold. My son was happy to have struck gold. The maze does cost money. There is a pumpkin patch with only one variety of the typical orange pumpkins. Restrooms are porta potties. read more
