Rileys at Los Rios Rancho is one of my favorite farms to visit. There's a great variety of apples, plus other seasonal fruits and vegetables you can pick yourself, which makes it a really fun experience. The BBQ is delicious and definitely worth it, even though the lines can get long on busy days. the apple cider is honestly the best I've had anywhere so fresh and flavorful. & ohhhh the house made pies are a must at every visit! They always have something going on throughout the month. Gospel worship's, festivals, classes Sip & paint, production tours and much more. The live music adds such a fun, relaxed vibe while enjoying a meal. I never leave without making a visit to the shop where they sell, unique items, souvenirs, organic jams and honey! Riley's is a place I look forward to coming back to especially in the fall. If I lived closer I'd be here much more often! Definitely check this place out, especially if you have family with kids, ours loves the little seedling ranch! read more

Rileys At Los Rios Rancho - Seedling farm - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Oak Glen, California

Beautiful place, but unfortunately the customer service ruined part of the experience We had an amazing time at Oak Glen Preserve. The scenery was beautiful, and we were really enjoying exploring and taking photos. We had actually planned on eating at Los Rios Rancho because the BBQ smelled really good, but decided to start with a piece of apple pie and ice cream. Unfortunately, the experience at the order window completely changed the mood. We were standing there waiting to order, but the woman working the window repeatedly avoided acknowledging us. My girlfriend eventually had to ask if we could order, and the response she received was extremely rude and unprofessional. I work in the food industry as an executive chef, and one of the things I emphasize when training my staff is the importance of acknowledging customers and making them feel welcome. I completely understand having a bad day, but basic professionalism and customer service should still be expected. At that point, we just wanted to leave. We got our pie and ice cream and left instead of staying for the BBQ we had originally planned on having. It's unfortunate because we were having such a great day and were genuinely excited to spend more time there. The location is beautiful, but one unpleasant interaction at the order window completely changed our experience. read more

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE WHOLE CRUMB APPLE PIE ONLY. In a word, TERRIBLE! It was THE worst apple pie I've ever had in my life! The apples are chewy, they weren't soft at all, like eating rubber bands. You can taste the flour in the filling so it made the pie taste mushy. We paid $25 for it, brought it home, and two of us had it for dessert the following night. We gagged after two bites and ended up throwing the rest of the pie in the trash. Even a Marie Callender frozen pie tastes better than what we had from Los Rios Rancho. Their apples are plump and tender. Whoever your head baker is needs to learn how to make a good apple pie. read more

I love Riley's at Los Rios Rancho. Every fall season this apple farm has me coming back because they have heirloom apples and fun fact: the apple used as reference in Snow White and the seven dwarfs is grown here it's called the "Arkansaw black" read more

Always such a wonderful, friendly visit to Los Rios Rancho. Things have been a little different since the fire in October 2020, but they have adapted wonderfully and still offer many of the same treats, events, and entertainment that had our family visiting in the first place. Love that they are dog-friendly to leashed and well mannered dogs. Los Rios Rancho has THE BEST apple cider in all of Oak Glen (believe me - our family has tried almost all the other's farms/shops). If you visit, make sure to visit on a day when they do the carriage ride tour through the orchard. It's so enjoyable and you get to hear about some history too. Truly, make the time to visit this place at least once in your life. read more

My family and I genuinely love visiting this area. It is far enough from the everyday hustle and bustle of big-city living, yet close enough to be here in under an hour, depending on traffic. This entire area is very relaxing, beautiful, and memorable. My family and I visited here with friends, and we had a fun, relaxing time. The store at Los Rio Rancho offers many goods made and grown in this area. From fresh, locally picked apples to various types of apple juice, flavored honey sticks, jams, sauces, etc. We purchased Arkansas Black apples, which, when refrigerated, have a shelf life of six to eight months. Some items, such as certain types of freshly picked apples, are priced high; however, the quality, freshness, and taste make every purchase worth it. The store is well-organized, always fully stocked, and the employees are super friendly and welcoming. read more

It was mine and my husband's first time visiting Oak Glen and we were so happy to find so many fun activities to do! We came on a Monday and luckily it wasn't too busy. We started in the petting zoo and pet cute goats, donkeys, bunnies, saw pigs, ostriches, cows, and other animals. On the weekends they have a wagon that takes you around the fields. After, we stopped by the gift shop and got ourselves apple cider to take home. They also had lots of apples, gifts, and baked goods inside. We saw the cider mill and pie truck outside but it's only open on the weekends. Next we walked over to go apple picking! From Los rios rancho, It's a nice trail walk to get to the apple picking, otherwise you can drive to it. The trail was nice with pretty flowers, big sequoia trees and lots of apple trees. Apple picking was a lot of fun and you're free to roam around and pick as many apples as you desire. I'll be coming back on a weekend to enjoy the other activities! read more

Lots of things for the family to experience. They have a petting zoo, apple, tomato, berry picking. They have a food truck and the bbq place. But the like was so long for the bbq we had Mexican food. The wait was not long and the food was great. The port-a-potties were gross. But they do have restrooms next to the bbq place. We didn't get to ride the wagon ride cuz it was too long, but it looked fun. Get there when it opens, then it isn't that long of a wait for things. read more

Rileys At Los Rios Rancho - Finished apple picking and needed shaved ice to cool Down. - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Oak Glen, California

My friend invited me to Yucaipa, and since I'd never been, I was excited to check it out. We stopped by Riley's in Los Rios on the way to Snowline, though parking was a bit tricky with the crowds. Luckily, we found a spot pretty quickly. The atmosphere was lively with live music and a Farm Kitchen serving BBQ. I waited about 20 minutes for a pulled pork sandwich marinated with apple cider--worth it! Inside the big tent, they offered samples of cider and apples, which helped me decide what to pick later. I ended up with Royal Gala and Red Jonagold apples for $5/lb. Overall, it was a fun experience and definitely worth the drive. I'll be back! read more

We had a great time here. It's such a wholesome family experience to take your kids to pick fruits. My kid had a blast pulling apples off the trees with me. We also got lunch there as well and the food was really delicious. The tri tip sandwich was very tender. We also got a half rack of rips (no picture) and it was good. A bit on the salty end from all the rub but we still finished it all. Just a heads up if it's your first time, the dining area with the BBQ has parking but if you want to pick fruits then you'll have to walk back to the street and cross the road. There's parking on the other side too in case you want to save yourself the walk. There are carts that transport people to the picking spots but if you walk along that dirt path, then be prepared for the dirt to get kicked up into the air as the carts drive by. I had to shield my kids from this. The apple pricing also ranges from $4-5 per pound so it's very easy to find yourselves paying a lot of money for this. We got 2 bags worth and I ended up paying $60-70. It was a lot but worth it to me. There was no admission fee and the experience to do it with my family was priceless! read more

My wife and I had a fun time here apple picking that we decided to bring our kid for his first experience. The staff informed us that depending on what apples we want to pick, we would need to head to different parts of the farm and the price would vary. We went towards the pink ladies because I'm a huge fan. We got 2 bags and began slowly twisting the apples off the trees. Our son had a great time that he quickly filled up 2 bags and we ended up spending about $30 on all the apples. We saw they still had some pumpkins, a field for chestnuts, and fields for other types of apples. We may be back to pick other fruits when they are in season. We decided to take a break and there were a couple of stalls to purchase merchandise, snacks, and food. We tried some fresh kettle corn which was hot and popped to perfection. There was so much to see and do at the farm, such as corn maze, petting zoo, and being able to pick a bucket of apples to press your own cider! We lined up at the farm kitchen for lunch for some bbq. While waiting for 45 minutes, I could see them grilling the meats and it looked delicious. I ordered tri-tip sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, some ribs, apple slaw, and some cowboy beans. They gave us the bbq sauce on the side to put as much as we want on the meats. The meats were salty, which was disappointing, and the tri-tip was slightly tough. The ribs weren't fall of the bones, but perhaps I was expecting too much. After putting the bbq sauce on the meats, it did balance out the saltiness. The cowboy beans were ok and the apple slaw was my favorite. It had a good balance of sweet from the apples they grow and the vinegar taste that was mixed in with the other ingredients. Before we left the farm, I had to buy a small bottle of cold apple cider and a sugar free apple pie. The apple cider was definitely refreshing on a hot day and it wasn't too sweet! We arrived shortly after the farm opened up on a Saturday and was able to find a spot in the parking lot that was almost full. I read that the parking lots open up about an hour before the farm is open, so my advice is to get there early. Otherwise, you'll probably get directed to another parking lot and require some walking. The farm was clean and all the staff we interacted with were friendly. read more

Apple season has begun! It is a family tradition of ours to make it out to Oak Glen every September. We love getting there early and picking apples in their orchard before the heat and the crowds. After Apple picking we grab lunch on site. We love their tri tip sandwich, tri tip chili, cornbread and our daughter loves their apple bacon grilled cheese. In their small tented shop you can buy apples that have been already been picked and bagged. They also sell hard apple cider, regular apple cider, t shirts and other fun things you can take home to remember your visit. They have a large parking lot and bathrooms on site. Lots of places to eat under the shade the trees. read more

This place is awesome. We did the outdoor garden walk as a homeschool group and probably spent close to two hours exploring. The grove of tree trail was my personal favorite. They also have a floating dock that's awesome. We ate after our walk and the tri tip chili was AMAZING so was the corn bread and apple slaw. My kids all got grilled cheese and those were super good too. The. We went apple picking and I spent $80 on apples they were delicious arkansa black apples we made pies and applesauce when we got home . Everyone was super friendly especially the gentlemen who check you out when purchasing apples. Food was quick and easy. read more

Always one of my favorite places to visit when I'm home visiting. It's a short drive from Beaumont so it's always worth it for me. You can get so many different items.

We wanted to go apple picking because our son loves apples! We decided to go early because we heard that it gets busy very quickly! We were able to get a good parking spot! Also we brought our stroller and it wasn't too difficult but next time I would definitely put our son in a carrier! We got a good amount of apples, they have a cute little shop that also holds apples if you do not want to go apple picking and they have an apple cider bar! We decided to get two flights and they weren't that bad. They also had some food like a barbecue spot and pie place! There is also a great trail that you can walk! We really do want to come back! read more

The food was okay. The cider delicious. The service was warm and friendly. The ambiance was very loud with children screaming and running pinball directions.

We're a family of 4, and we've been coming here for years. It *was* our favorite spot. First red flag: they wanted us to wait in a line for over an hour in full sun before we could enter an orchard. Never happened before. Second red flag: we went across the street to their other half to avoid the line, and they would only let us have 1 bag (new 1 bag per party rule, they said). Almost walked away then because we usually get 3 bags, and then I'm in the kitchen for days making all the things. I was mentally working out how to make one bag stretch when we hit the biggest red flag: we'd grabbed an apple picker from where they were lined up against a fence (a tool we've used every year here), and a few minutes later, an employee chased us down and told us we weren't allowed to use the apple pickers. Confused, we pointed out we picked it up from against the fence. Employee told us yeah he'd put them there. For other people. Um, okay. I don't know which customers were allowed to use them, but apparently they weren't us. The employee took the apple picker from my kid, who felt she was in trouble. We assured her she'd done nothing wrong as we handed our 1 empty bag back in and then left. We will never be back. read more

10/13/24 Fun Family Day at Rileys at Los Rios Ranch!!! Especially on WEEKENDS, definitely get there BEFORE 11:30 parking is FREE BUT extremely difficult to find after this time. *****SPECIAL NOTICE: I really should've DOCKED 2 stars simply because the staff directing traffic/parking DIDN'T ALLOW my aged parents (with handicap placard) to be dropped off past the entrance to the parking. Our vehicle could've turned into the lot to drop them off because of their difficulty in ambulating. The staff said "it'll block traffic" As our van drove off, he proceeded to allow a couple of cars into the lot. That was extremely rude & uncalled for/-- especially for HANDICAP people. Due to this, my parents stayed at the picnic area and were not able to go apple picking with us. Despite this mishap, the rest of this trip was fun filled. Parking was a bust in the lot because it was full so we ended parking on the street. Highly suggest coming early on the weekends (before 11 am should be good) Entrance to the apple picking is free but the activities have fees (ax throwing, petting zoo (feed), tractor ride $6/pp to pick fuji apples (further up or maybe 10-15 walk uphill). There are other attractions & vendors that sell bbq, lemonade, apple cider tastings, kettle corn apple pies & cider, etc. There was a live band playing as well. The staff (except for the one who was directing traffic/parking) were friendly & helpful. For apple picking, it's $4.50/lb but it's less if you buy 10 lbs or more. You are not allowed to eat while picking (but who's watching? hahaha). There are many varieties, many of which I have not ever heard or encountered such as gravenstein apples. Do try the freshly made & chilled apple cider, very good & refreshing (for prices see photo please). Please bring water because water (16 oz bottle is $2.75 and it was supposed to be chilled, it was not, on a hot day, no less!). We brought our own food & drinks and had ourselves a picnic on the other side where all the other activities were. The botanical garden is free but we didn't get to venture out there, maybe next time if we decide to visit this orchard again. The kids & adults in our group had fun picking, looking for the bigger fruit to brag about (lol). The apple I tasted was okay, not sweet, crunchy, not juicy, maybe best for baking. Overall, for the first time experience, it was good, could've been better had we known to get there before 11 am due to parking issues. We almost gave up & we were going to Sky-line instead because parking situation there was much better. My sister headed there first & scoped it out but my brother said we had originally planned for Riley's-- so Riley's won this time. Knowing what I know now, perhaps we will give the other apple orchard a try next. My parents not being allowed to be dropped off & join us for this first time event (apple picking with family)? Riley's, that was a huge let down in my book. Better plan for next time, hopefully a better experience, at another orchard. So many to choose from. read more

Last min trip to oak glen and made the trek from the city to visit riley's at los rios rancho . It was recommended by a fellow yelper Stacy A. to arrive as early as possible due to crowds and heat. Also traveling with a toddler and a couple of seniors so there's that to consider. Arrived close to opening and it was recommended to go across the street while it's still early to pick gala and mutsu apples . The main area has mcintosh apples and the food and petting zoo plus shops . The area i'm referring to is across the street has a larger farm area and a cider press . They have a small parking area and you can either walk or take a tractor ride up to the official picking area .Tractor ride is worth it in my opinion . The farm is large and offered Mutsu and Gala apples that day . My Kid loved it and even though it was somewhat hot she had a blast selecting and twisting the apples off . Staff is super cool and helped us navigate our short stay with a toddler . We ended up back at the main area and this is where i messed up . When it was time lunch i forgot to take pictures . I had the ribs but let's just say if i could do it again id have the tri tip sandwich . We made it to the entrance of the petting zoo , but my daughter wasn't feeling it , so it was time to make our way back home . We did stop by Snow-line for donuts before heading back . read more

Great place to have fun with a group of friends and/or family. Discovered this gem last year and it's now become a tradition. The apples are perfectly ripe and delicious to eat. It's great that they have signs that inform you what sections are open and tell you what area of apples are not ready for picking. I was lucky this last time because they just opened a section so there were an abundance of apples to pick and no one there. When I left, the crowd started to come as the word got out. Heads up: it is quite a walk up to some of the apples. Highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes as you will be hiking unless you're just there for the photos. There are apples to get your photo on in the front but those ones are often picked at and have barely any apples on them. Also, be prepared to walk in dirt from the moment you park to picking apples to whatever you plan to do on site. read more

Came for the apple picking, but ended up enjoying their amazing food (BBQ, apple pies with a hefty scoop of French vanilla ice cream, tons of apple cider, apple cider floats), beautiful setting, and very sweet and courteous service. They also had a patio section dedicated to alcoholic beverages, which was nice. Unable to decide which drink to drink? Try the flight of 4! The petting zoo is small, but cute! They also have other activities to participate in, but we ran out of time. Food and beverages were all very well priced. Activities (apple pressing, corn maze, petting zoo, etc) were a little on the pricey side. We will definitely be back! We'll definitely be back! read more

My boyfriend and I visited Oak Glen this past weekend and made a stop at Riley's at Los Rios Rancho. This basically is a one stop shop with different amenities available (e.g., pie shop, cider company, bbq pit, apple picking, and gift shop). The apple picking starts at 10 AM but you can come earlier to check out the gift shop before it gets busy we arrived at 10:16 AM on a Saturday and was able to find close parking in the overflow lot. I would definitely recommending coming around opening since by 12 PM it was packed with people! Since it was our first time in the area, we decided to go apple picking. It was quite expensive, at around $4.35 per lb if you buy less than 10lbs; it was cheaper at around $3 dollar something if you buy more than 10lbs. To get in, there was a bit of a wait (~ 20 for us), but it didn't feel so long since the staff do take the time to walk you through the rules for apple picking. Before entering to pick your apples, you can choose to grab a 5lb bag or a 10lb bag to hold your apples. Each bag costs at most 50 cents and you have to use it for the apple picking. If you don't want to pick your own apples, they also have bags of apples that they sell in their gift shop priced around $10-$14 depending on the variety. Overall, it was a fun experience! Definitely on the pricier end so if you're going be prepared to spend. Great place for families to come and enjoy the area. One thing to note, they do offer wagon rides that I believe are $10 (back and forth) and also allow you to pet the animals. I didn't see too many animals (maybe 2 on the farm?) so can't speak to whether it's worth it or not. read more

It's fun in the park and across the street is pick your own. But this place has not rebuilt. The food where the smoker is is only available at best. The man and lady working there are borderline rude. And don't ask for your sandwich to be cut because they won't do that simple task. And rudely say we don't do that. Wow really. We have been going up here for over 20 years and are trying to support their rebuild. But with attitudes like this our money can be spent where they know that customers keep a business going. They need to replace the older women and man. If you can't cut a sandwich in half what is your problem?? read more

The wife and I stopped here today for lunch. Kind of expensive, but I guess for the area and that it's a tourist trap, probably within the bounds. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was pretty small and a bit overdone. $12.50 for this. The wife got a Farm Salad and she said it wasn't very good. We then ordered a piece of apple pie with crumb crust, and it was marginal. Very small slice of pie for $6.75. We should have driven about a mile up the road and went to Apple Annie's Bakery and Restaurant. I remember going there a few years ago. It was much better than Rileys. Won't be going back to Rileys again. read more

Looking for something cutesy to do this fall? I highly recommend going apple picking! Pick out a cute fall outfit, get together some friends and family and take some great pictures. Apple picking is the perfect outdoor activity to do between Halloween and Thanksgiving! They had a huge selection of apples. Disclaimer: picking isn't as easy as it seems since you have to watch out for apples with holes. I suggest using their handy apple picking tools to reach the high up ones. Remember to look out for some that have plenty of sun shining on them, they tend to be the sweetest. We went on a Saturday and although it was packed, parking was super manageable! We ended up baking a pie with our pickings! read more

We were so extras it was our first time Apple picking. It was a not so great experience. 14 Spartan Apples cost us $24 dollars. Also the Apples were dry and not good. Trader Joe's has better Apple's with better prices. Not to mention room after the fact we found out that they have more Apples across the street for $14- $15 a bag. Employees are not helpful and prices are outrageous. Also most Apples had worm holes. It took forever to find some without. Again $24 for $14 Apples is insane for apples.

Apple picking season is upon us so that means heading over to the famous Oak Glen! I had visited last year but was unfamiliar with the area so ended up at the wrong farm (oops!). Thankfully, this year I was a better prepared. If you're trying to come to Los Rios Rancho, do note that it's "Los Rio Rancho" on Google Maps, not Riley's Farm or Riley's Apple Farm. If you enter up the mountain one particular way, it's easy to get confused with the wrong location. I'm definitely glad we visited Los Rio Rancho this year because you can really spend the better part of the day here. There's apple picking, pumpkin picking, tractor rides, BBQ, cider tasting and a petting zoo. While there are plenty of other apple orchards along Oak Glen Rd, this seems to be one of the most popular and active. If you want to actually do any apple picking, I'd strong suggest arriving before 11:00am, because it does get crowded and most activities have a long wait. Since my husband and I already did apple picking last year, this year we decided to enjoy what else the farm had to offer. The BBQ was great--we had the pulled pork sandwich and the BBQ ribs, both of which were excellent and worth the wait. We also enjoyed the hard apple cider flight which made for a refreshing respite from the October SoCal heat. The highlight of our outing here would definitely be the petting zoo. Though small and unassuming on the outside, it's actually quite large and worth the admission price. We got to feed all sorts of animals from ducks, goats, bunnies, cows and more. Definitely make this a day trip if you're in SoCal and looking for a fun fall seasonal activity. I'm looking forward to making a tradition out of this each year! read more

I spent my Veterans Day enjoying the mountain views on this beautiful day. I'm from the East Coast so I'm used to going to Apple orchards that are on flatland so it was a bit of a challenge because it was on the hill, but I got a great workout. Most of the apples are already picked out for the season, so Grannie Smith and Pink Lady apples were already gone, but my friend was able to find me two Grannie Smith apples on the tree and I ended up purchasing a bag of pink lady apples. I wanted to do the cider pressing but it was an hour wait for my time slot, so I'll just come back another day before the season is out Thanksgiving weekend so I can press my own Cider. I bought a gallon and a pint, which was $10 cheaper than pressing it. When we got to the orchard we only were able to do one side. The other side is across the street near a store and where they sell tri tip sandwiches and things like that and parking is over there too. When we come back next weekend we will explore the other side. Make sure y'all get the apple cider & a pickle at the store it was so delicious. I wish I had gotten two! read more

First time here and my family and friends had a blast. We came here early (arrived at 930am) so we found parking pretty easily inside their lot.

Today was my first time visiting for apple picking season and I thought it was a great fall family activity, especially for those with kids. We spent 4 hours there, starting off with BBQ for lunch. We wanted to get the smoked ribs but they sold out right before my husband's turn to order. On a Sunday afternoon, the wait in line was 1 hour for food. Good thing there's a lot of shade in the large grassy area in the middle, where you can picnic and enjoy the live music in the meantime. I also took my son to explore the botanical garden during the wait time. Food: - My husband and I both preferred the tri-tip over the pulled pork sandwich. The tri-tip didn't need much else to go with it. - Just a heads-up that the sides for the combos are small. They are slightly larger than a condiment container. - The apple slaw was a very unique and good side. I expected a traditional cabbage slaw with apples added in, but instead their slaw is made up of thinly shaved apples. It was both tart and sweet. It would have gone perfectly inside the pulled pork sandwich. - Their homemade apple cider is a must-get! - After finishing our meal, we went to the pie shack for apple pie a la mode. I thought the apple pie was okay, not that special. We walked through the botanical garden to the South side U-pick. It was a long walk with a toddler. Next time, I would drive to the North side U-pick. Also, another tip is that in that path from the botanical garden to the U-pick is a restroom. In the food area, there are only port-a-potties, so walk here to use an actual restroom. Also, there is a cabin right before the pond on the same path. There are tables inside, which makes it a good shaded spot to sit and eat your freshly picked apples on the way back. U-pick: - We opted for the 5 lb bag even though you pay less per/lb for the 10 lb bag, because we didn't think we could finish that many apples. - The Royal Galas were delicious! Sweet and crispy. - We went the last week of Sept and the trees were full of apples and easy to pick for our almost 2 year old. Great experience and definitely recommend a visit there yearly! read more

Los Rios Rancho is a fantastic stop to kick off the Fall season! We stopped by on a Saturday ready to pick some apples and got so much more. The first Saturday in November and the weather was ready for winter at 45 degrees so it really felt like we were in the season! There is plenty of parking areas but it will get busy in the region so plan to stop by early. With tractor rides, cider pressing, apple picking shopping, food vendors of all types you can spend an entire day adventuring making memories and having a blast. read more
