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!

What's happening with the Apple Hill Growers
Why are our farms closed during the winter? 🤔 Our farms are committed to bringing our visitors the freshest baked goods and produce that are in season – and that we can grow in El Dorado County! This means that we’re reliant upon the seasons.
We won’t stay open just to bring you what is grown and trucked in from other regions or states. It’s our commitment to quality and staying true to our farming roots.
That said, many of our wineries and cideries are open during the shorter months, along with @24carrotfarm.
Visit AppleHill.com/Events for the complete list of open farms!
