Nestled in the Sierra Nevada Foothills.
Near the Sierra foothill town of Placerville, just off the beaten path between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe are the Apple Hill Growers. We are an agriculture community with a rich history in farming and winemaking where a new generation of growers invites you to share the experience with your family and friends.
Delicious, sweet apples are just the beginning.
Representing over 50 local, family farms, the Apple Hill Growers are dedicated to supporting agriculture in our community. Founded in 1964 with just 16 apple ranches, we’ve now grown to include unique fruit & vegetable farms, bakeshops, wineries, a Bed & Breakfast Inn, flower gardens, and Christmas tree farms. Our winding roads and scenic beauty have been a popular destination for over 50 years. Come enjoy the fruits of our Apple Hill Growers any time of year!

@jrf_brewery is known for its brewery and delicious libations. But did you know that it’s an active farm? Like all farms, it requires work all year round. Winter preparation ensures U-Pick Blueberries 🫐 will be ready later this year!
