According to a news release from Apple Hill Growers Association, 14 farms, wineries and breweries are offering special items and experiences for visitors.

24 Carrot Farm: The summer bounty includes vegetables, stone fruits and berries. Enjoy U-pick strawberries, blackberries and flowers.

Bluestone Meadow Farm: Stock up on luscious lavender products like soap and lotions in the gift shop.

Boeger Winery: The tasting room is offering wine serving flights, glasses and bottles in the tasting room, inside the cozy historic cellar on their picnic grounds from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Delfino Farms & Edio Vineyards: Joan’s Apple Bakery will be selling peach desserts made with fruit from fellow grower GoldBud Farms. Edio Vineyards will be open for wine tasting.

Fenton Herriot Vineyards: The winery is serving flights, glasses and bottles in their picnic area.

Goldbud Farms: Opening this month, the farmstand will be stocked with ripe stone fruit, including peaches, plums, nectarines and pluots. If you buy five pounds of fruit, you’ll get it for the price of four these weekends.

Harris Family Farm: Pick your own flowers, marionberries and blackberries and enjoy live music and a marketplace of local vendors. The bake shop will be open with summer fruit delights, plus lavender lemonade and apple cider slushies. Don’t miss live music from noon – 3 p.m.

Pine-O-Mine Ranch: The ranch will be serving BBQ fare, donuts, peach and apple cider shakes, hard cider, beer and more.

Rucksack Cellars: Taste wines that exhibit the depth and diversity of the Sierra foothills, while enjoying the scenic canyon view.

Wofford Acres Vineyards: Come for the wines, stay for the view! Purchase a bottle and your flight is on the house. Reservations are recommended.

“We want to get people up in the summer to enjoy the beauty of the area and what summer bounty we have to offer,” said Pam Harris, owner of Harris Family Farm.

Harris also explained how crops were affected by heavy rain and snowfall late into the season this year.

“We’ve really had winter all the way up through April, which is pretty unusual,” Harris said. “So all our berry crops are running two to four weeks late. All of our stone fruits are running maybe a few weeks late.”

Harris suggested guests check out the websites for the farms they are interested in visiting in advance of their trips to Apple Hill.

Those farms and their offerings can be found at this link.
