My gosh, I bet you cannot find nicer people in Camino…read more This was our first stop on our Apple Hill tour and we received such a warm welcome from the adorable people who run this farm out of their backyard. They Cider Press says that they have apples but on my visit they also had pears. It looks like they also do pumpkins and Christamas trees. You pick your fruit and pay by the pound. The fruits of our labor were fresh and delicious. I appreciate agriculture and all of the hard work that goes into it so this was a nice treat for me. The farmer was more than glad to answer all of our questions about his work and the grapevine and persimmon trees he also has on his property. Such a nice man, I wish I had gotten his name. I recommend wearing closed toed shoes to keep your feet clean and to keep the wild berry brier things from sneaking inside your shoes. Ouch!

We visited in early October. Last year we visited and they were closed since the apple season was…read moreover so this time I called to ask if they were still open for apple picking. They said yes and there are still apples on the trees. Which was not really true, we left with 10 tiny apples, 3 of which were from another family that had given up. We walked all sections of the orchard, most apples were on the ground and rotting. I am disappointed that they told me apples were available. They should have said they were open for their small store but not apple picking. We were excited to go and after we discovered almost no apples on the tree I realized I didnt see people leaving with bags and bags of apples. Most were leaving empty handed. The owners are nice, I want to give them business, it seems like they are about to go out of business since things are run down and they only accept cash. I also like how they give kids a apple for their thumb. But please dont stay open for apple picking if there are no apples to pick. We walked around for probably an hour or more set on finding a tree that still had apples available.

This place was a lot of fun for the family!!…read more I brought mine to Apple Hill to pick apples but the original spot that we wanted to visit was either very hard to find or didn't exist anymore. This was on our list to visit so we ended up going here instead, and I'm so glad we did! The owners were very friendly and accommodating. They handed us a map of where to pick apples and where the different types are located, then they pretty much told us to go crazy with picking apples. There weren't many ripe apples at the time we visited, but we still had a wonderful time being there to experience apple picking. The place feels rustic and huge with many apple tree variations to choose from, however, most of the trees were still young so there weren't a lot of shade for adults to hide under. So make sure you wear sunscreen and hats for protection during the day.

Famous for setting the gold standard of high-country orchard stops, this farm stand is equal parts cozy rustic nostalgia and absolute culinary magnetism. Hot Cider Donuts: You come here for hot apple cider doughnuts. Fried fresh to order, tossed in cinnamon sugar, and handed to you screaming hot. Pure indulgence. They feature a crisp, delicate outer crust gives way to pillowy, cider-rich interior. Pair one with a cup of their fresh-pressed, unfiltered spiced hot cider (or cold), and you have achieved peak autumn bliss. Fresh-Pressed Hot Cider: The ultimate dynamic duo pairing. This isn't just liquid sugar--it is punchy, pleasantly tart, and packed with warm, aromatic spices to balance out edge sweet treats. The Bakery Stand: Beyond the viral doughnuts, the bakery churns out massive deep-dish apple pies, berry tarts, and cider-insisted baked goods that rival any grandmother's secret recipe. Fresh Fruit and Produce: Crisp-estate grown apples, seasonal stone fruit, and a dedicated tasting tent serving up crisp hard ciders for the grown-ups crafted directly from their mountain orchards. The sweeping grassland backdrop and orchard views make it a prime spot to spread out a blanket and soak in the Sierra Foothill breeze. Lines for the doughnut shack build fast. Arrive and grab a box of a dozen (you will regret buying just six) and secure a spot before crowds swarm. Rainbow Orchards delivers an unbeatable, sweet-toothed sliced of farm country charm.

They are not super commercialized with vendors, a bakery, or much. In fact I think the only foods you can buy are apples, chips, water and pumpkins. Anyways, we really enjoyed our time at this farm and thought the ladies working here provided great service. We did not experience any yelling or anger during our visit as stated in a couple comments below.

We happened to be there for their blackberry days. I tried my friend's blackberry ice cream and enjoyed it. I ordered a blackberry sugar donut and apple sugar donut. Both were good and I liked that they were fluffy. It can get quite busy, but there was plenty of parking.

It's been a while since we've been to Apple Hill. We decided to stop at Boa Vista Orchard and enjoy…read moretheir blueberry-themed event. Since it was a weekend, we expected it to be jam-packed, but it was a decent crowd, not too busy. They had vendors set up with items for sale and delicious fruit on display. The BBQ smelled amazing, and we both decided next time we will plan to eat lunch here as well. After we walked around, we wanted to try some of their desserts. My husband chose the apple fritter, and I chose a blueberry turnover, and we also grabbed some coffee. The employees who helped us were a little off-putting and did not seem to want to be there. That was surprising since everyone else we encountered was nice. Once we settled into a bench, we dug into our desserts. They were both delicious and messy, which I think are the best desserts. Before we left, we decided to grab some donuts to take home for family. We got the Blueberry Sugar Donut, Blueberry Glazed Donut, Sugar Apple Donut, and Glazed Apple Donut. The employees who helped us at this window were very nice and helpful. I would've given a 5-star rating but had to drop one due to the first employees. If they do not want to be working, they shouldn't be there, or at least shouldn't be working the front. We will definitely be back again in a few weeks and take the kids this time!

I wouldn't return here…read more For me, fruit picking is is about an abundance of fruit for a smaller price that we would pay at farmers market or the grocery store. This was neither. There were literally only 5 trees that had apples on them, and every apple had holes where birds had helped themselves. And they aren't even good apples. The apples I buy at Costco are yummier. And as if that wasn't disappointing enough, the charge for the apples...$30 for 7 pounds (and don't forget that it's really only 3-4 pounds because it have to cut off all the bad spots and compost them). I feel like I got swindled! The 2 stars are because the employees were very sweet. But they split up our group for like a half hour which was really upsetting for some of my friends who were split up from their kiddos. They might have apologized to someone about it, but considering they only had a few visitors, they could've done a much better job handling it.

Me not knowing the best time to pick is early September so all the apples were all picked off the trees so we were kind of bummed. So we decided to at least do something so we took a tractor ride that was only 10.00 for the family!! The ride was almost a half hour long!! We had the best chaperone aka Tractor Driver, Sydney. What a joy she was, so sweet!!! She even stopped the tractor and we walked down to visit and feed some chickens apples that have fallen off the trees, we even were able to eat a bunch of berries growing on a nearby bush. The boys had a blast, I HIGHLY recommend Sydney if you go on the tractor ride, made our visit so special!!

Only waited about 5 minutes until we ordered! Not sure why it's called a "walking apple pie" since you could really walk with any pie, sliced or whole. The crust on this was ever so slightly flaky while still having a good amount of doughiness that made it soft and enjoyable to eat. It wasn't too thick either which is what I assumed it would be! There is also an insane amount of apple inside, sliced on the thinner side but not overcooked at all. NOT skimpy, good cinnamon flavor and VERY delicious! I'm not even a fan of apple pie, so I was shocked I actually liked it! The vanilla ice cream on top definitely made the entire thing even more enjoyable--if I were to get this again I'd make sure to get an extra scoop. The contrast between the piping hot apple pie and the cold ice cream was so addicting and sweet in the best way. We also got the pumpkin cheesecake. I'd pass on this. Didn't have much of a pumpkin flavor and I felt like the cheesecake was lacking overall. The graham cracker crust is buttery and soft which I appreciated, and they top the cheesecake with what tasted like a sugar crumble on top which I also liked. Overall the cheesecake was creamy and smooth but nothing special. I wouldn't get this again, simply for the fact that if you're labeling something as "pumpkin cheesecake" and the first word is pumpkin, I want to be punched in the face with pumpkin flavor, however my friend did enjoy it because he loves cheesecake. Service was great, the views were phenomenal. They also have real bathrooms here. Definitely stop by!

There were clearly some people there looking to use it as a venue, and honestly I can see why, the whole place was just screaming "YOU WANT TO GET MARRIED HERE" Unfortunately, the Doll and Apple portions were cleared out, and looked to be mid-remodel. We did speak to someone who showing a couple around the venue and were told that the lockdown had hit them hard, and they were basically closed. I was very sad to hear this as this was recommended to me as the BEST apple tasting and souvenir shop on the hill. I hope they get going again, so we can visit them next time.
