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!

Spring is a season of renewal, and for our Growers, it’s also a time of hard work and preparation. 🌼 🌸 🌱 While visitors flock to the orchards in the fall for apple picking, cider sipping, and scenic autumn views, the magic of harvest season begins long before that. 👨🏻🌾
So, what happens behind the scenes in the orchards? We take at how local farmers gear up for their busiest time of year on our blog. Learn more at the link in our bio!
