LOCALS’ DAYS
The Apple Hill Growers want to show their appreciation to its neighbors for supporting local farms and wineries with its Locals’ Days 2020 celebration. From Friday, September 11 to Sunday, September 13, El Dorado County residents will receive special discounts from more than a dozen Apple Hill Growers. “The Apple Hill Growers have been farming in El Dorado County for more than five decades and we wouldn’t be here without the support and patronage of our neighbors,” said Chris Delfino of Delfino Farms and President of the Apple Hill Growers Association. “Locals Days is our time to give back.”
