    We stopped in for caramel apples! I was surprised we'd never come here? My SIL recommended we come here to get them. I usually buy them from other farms. Wow! My eyes went straight to the caramel apples display. They have, caramel, chocolate, etc. They were so big and fresh! Our cashier was super friendly and helpful. She offered fresh picked apple to sample which were just picked this morning. We bought some caramel apples, cider and hot roasted cashews. We'll be back next apple season and Abel's will be a regular stop when in Apple Hill.

    apple donut

    Free entrance for a Phenomenal little place. They have vendors, a maze, animals, picnic areas, and lots of apple goodies. The apple donuts are warm and genuinely what dreams are made of. Don't stop at 6- get the whole dozen. I adore the apple dumplings with cider sauce they sell! The whole farm is adorable and inviting. Great place for families. All the employees are very kind. The parking is across the street and free!

    Tri Tip sandwich
    Lily M.

    First off the service was great! The lady behind the counter at the Country Kitchen was super nice and friendly. But the Tri Tip sandwich was not it. It was cold, soggy and had no flavor. I feel like if the bun was toasted and buttered it would have been better even if a lil soggy. The sauce you put on the Tri tip is good, I'll give them that. But the rest is meh. The sweets are very good. The Carmel apples are my moms favorite and the apple slush is great on a warm fall day. It's a cute spot but the food is lacking.

    This store is as good as the other more famous and crowded store at the hill. No line, plenty of food choices on the menu, it has pie, apple cider, and it has nice open and wide area on the back. This store doesn't doesn't sell fresh fruit or veggie. It has nice open area at the back of the store. As most people visit Aaple Hill from Hwy 50, you will reach the store at the end. Parking is quite easy. It is nice and alternate store to visit when you are around this area.

    I highly recommend coming here during the fall months because of how many cool things are for sale. I enjoyed the holiday decor and Christmas displays like the train. There's different vendors out too. We saw horses during our time there. We went early before it got too crowded. Luckily there's plenty of parking and porta potty's on the property. During your trip to Apple Hill, Abel's Apple Acres is a definite must stop!

    This place is SO CUTE! My friends and I started a morning at Apple Hill here. I got an apple cider doughnut to eat while we walked around. Service was prompt, but when I actually at my doughnut it had pretty much zero apple flavor, which was a letdown. It's fun to walk around and look at the store and the art market outside, though most things are marked up pretty high. Stop by for a quick snack and not much else.

    The lot had plenty of parking today. This is typically one of our stops in Apple hill. I had to try the apple cake. The cake was delicious but the frosting was pretty sweet. I needed some coffee to go along with it but it was pretty warm today. I love all the candy, covered apples and pies. I can't wait to go back to try a few more items.

    Usually our last stop at our time in Apple Hill. We really like thier pies and other treats. This location is our must go to for the pies. We have also eaten the food here a few years ago. I remember the garlic fries were good. But can not remember what else we had..I remember liking it. We are usually ready for a soda at this stop also. We walked around and looked at the tent shops here also. A few were different than the other locations. More Halloween type items inside Abel's and at a few of the tent shops..one of the tent shops had many Halloween type jewelry I liked last year. This year I finally bought a necklace.

    Apple cherry pie
    Robert R.

    We went for the pastries. Purchased some apple empanadas, apple cherry pies, and a caramel apple. Enjoyed the caramel apple a lot but both the pie and empanada werent that great. The filling seemed undercooked and both items tasted incomplete 'flavor profile-wise'. Probably wont be back.

    Took my kids up here for the first time and everyone enjoyed it. It wasn't too packed, which was nice so we were able to look at everything that they had to their apple donuts, their caramel apples, the fudge, and of course, the delicious varieties of pies! It's very family friendly. There's plenty of parking in the parking is close, especially if you have little ones. We really enjoyed our time here and everyone was nice! We are definitely coming back and we had a blast, they even have horses and they gave us apples so we can feed them! I'm coming back for that Appleberry pie because it was gone in two days at my house! DELICIOUS PIES !!!! OMG !!!

    Hadn't been to Abel's for a while and thought we would check out apple time. We went during the week so it would not be as busy. They have our favorites such as cider donuts, apple fritters, caramel apples and fudge. We were hungry so decided to order some food. They have a restaurant area in the back. We watched the cows while waiting for our food. The food came out quickly and we ordered tacos. It is a great place to stop with plenty of parking with some across the street. Brought our dog so he was interested in the cows while we were out back. The staff were nice and we didn't have to wait long to check out

    When we arrived at Abel's we parked across the street in the lot and they had a lovely horse statue! That was pretty much the highlight for me. If you are a big Harry Potter fan, they did have some Harry Potter themed apples and I took a video but it's not uploading for some reason. The apples were cute but they had a much smaller variety of options than any other location in the area we visited. There just really wasn't much on offer here. They also really didn't have anything going on. We did come on a weekday so maybe that had something to do with it. They also advertise that they are dog friendly but you have to quickly walk your dog through the small store in the front to get to the small patio out back and the creaking deck did not make us feel safe. We left pretty quickly and we probably skip this location on our next visit but like I said, if you like Harry Potter you will probably want to make a quick stop here.

    This was my first trip to Apple Hill and my second stop of the trip. We stopped here around noon. This stop is right off the road and an easy turn off. Parking was limited, but there were still some spots in the front parking lot because it was Tuesday. The main building seems to be historic/older and has sweet treats, pies, caramel apples, and holiday trinkets and souvenirs. Outside they have a deck with food options (we did not eat here) and the tritip sandwich looked really good! There were a lot of picnic benches on the deck with an overview of orchards and the kid area. The kid area was closed (Tuesday) but seemed to have pony rides and a maze when open. One of the workers allowed us to feed the cows! We did purchase caramel apples and those tasted great!!

    Little dude really liked the golden horse.

Beautiful views that trail wrap around vineyards- the entrance is breathtaking! Small pop up booths of local vendors surround the orchard with cute gifts and souvenirs for the harvest season. They also have a fruit stand- & i love fresh fruit but the majority of the fruit here was split open and looking dull or brown in appearance like it was close to expiring. The lines were long for the cider donuts & sadly it didn't move fast. So I never got to try to cider donuts bc when I went it was almost one hr from closing. A lot of the pies were sorted through and the ones left were scattered in type and limited so decided not to take one home. And it was overall a smaller, more crowded stand then I expected with limited variety. Im sure they have great cider donuts- but I would recommend getting here first thing in the morning. This seems to be one of the more popular stands and parking can become complicated. I will have to give it another try to see a true experience because I feel like I didn't get to gather the true festive experience here.

Famous for setting the gold standard of high-country orchard stops, this farm stand is equal parts cozy rustic nostalgia and absolute culinary magnetism. Hot Cider Donuts: You come here for hot apple cider doughnuts. Fried fresh to order, tossed in cinnamon sugar, and handed to you screaming hot. Pure indulgence. They feature a crisp, delicate outer crust gives way to pillowy, cider-rich interior. Pair one with a cup of their fresh-pressed, unfiltered spiced hot cider (or cold), and you have achieved peak autumn bliss. Fresh-Pressed Hot Cider: The ultimate dynamic duo pairing. This isn't just liquid sugar--it is punchy, pleasantly tart, and packed with warm, aromatic spices to balance out edge sweet treats. The Bakery Stand: Beyond the viral doughnuts, the bakery churns out massive deep-dish apple pies, berry tarts, and cider-insisted baked goods that rival any grandmother's secret recipe. Fresh Fruit and Produce: Crisp-estate grown apples, seasonal stone fruit, and a dedicated tasting tent serving up crisp hard ciders for the grown-ups crafted directly from their mountain orchards. The sweeping grassland backdrop and orchard views make it a prime spot to spread out a blanket and soak in the Sierra Foothill breeze. Lines for the doughnut shack build fast. Arrive and grab a box of a dozen (you will regret buying just six) and secure a spot before crowds swarm. Rainbow Orchards delivers an unbeatable, sweet-toothed sliced of farm country charm.

The friendly demeanor of the apple sampler in the barn cancelled out the bad attitude of the lady who sold us food in the bake shop. Still did not appreciate my friend being talked to like that but I guess that is what happens when the peppy no filter clashes with the grumpy no filter. Anyway, bake shop purchased yummies including veggie dog and pumpkin cookie were both very good, and I appreciated being able to pick up a pint of apple cider to go. They offer many other things at the bake shop such as turnovers, pies, cookies, additional desserts I don't feel like listing, sandwiches, and beverages. The apple barn smelled amazing, and we got to try a bunch of apple slices. I had never tried a mutsu apple or Arkansas black apple before and both were delicious and interesting. Mutsu is a golden delicious bred with a granny smith and the Arkansas black is thicc in texture/skin and sort of has a caramel sweetness to it. We liked sitting outside at the picnic tables and playing PoGo. Thought about heading over to the museum to look around but there was a hat cultist inside so neither of us felt like spoiling our day with that kind of aura iykyk. Maybe next time. You know what they say about one bad apple. Leave it on the ground, the rest will be just fine. Extra parking across the street but be so careful crossing the street. I did not notice any vegan options to confirm either way, but they do have many vegetarian friendly snack and meal options. Prices are reasonable for the area. My veggie dog was $8 and came with chips, and my pint of apple cider was $4.

    End of September Perfect *Sweet-Spot*-Time To Visit!…read more SITREP This time of year - last week of September - ended up being the BEST TIME to go up and visit the O'Halloran's Apple Trail Ranch's Pumpkin Patch! THE SETUP In years past, my friends and I usually ended up waiting too long to trek up the hill (HWY 50) to Apple Hill to go pumpkin-patching: searching for the perfect pumpkin and *snippin* it ourselves right off the vine. It's good to note that there is also a vibrant pick-your-own apples and pears aspect to this ranch going on through the late summer, as well as a nice cut-your-own Christmas tree season that kicks in right before Thanksgiving. PUMPKINING-PRO-TIP For this review, we're focusing on the apple-picking and the pumpkin patch. On that note, if you want to catch good pumpkins, the next two (2) are the best time to go. Whereas, the one (1) or two (2) weekends in October before Halloween ended up being too late for a number of reasons: 1. The good pumpkins had already been picked; and, 2. The weekend traffic in late October is HELL: the handful of exits in that region are heavily regulated by law enforcement and traffic cones/restrictions making for headache of a drive to get INTO the many markets, wineries and pumpkin patches in that region. THE GOODS * I always get great apples when I come here: Fuji, Grannies, Mutsu, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, etc. etc. and several other varieties (on a related note, I didn't see any pears out, so I may have been a bit too ealy); * Got a variety of medium-sized pumpkins, including 2 White Ones, a Green One, and 2 perfect Orange pumpkins! * Snipped a couple of sunflowers! THE ANIMULES! Something new that I haven't seen before (it has been 2-3 years since my last visit) they had a wonderful 4-H section set up with some animals: a bunch of chickens, a bunch of turkeys (big dudes! take a look at my pics!) and a bunch of kids (both the goat kind and the human kind, all having fun mixing up with each other. RETAILING - DOWN TO BRASS TAX (NOT TACKS) Cost me about $20 for a very mixed bag of 38-40 apples (5-6 different varietals) - an excellent deal and better than my Safeway or Amazon-Whole Foods delivery options (plus I selected the apples myself!) Cost me about $50 for five (5) largish pumpkin varieties. Again, less the options I saw at Safeway or Trader Joes in my hood. Obviously, it's not cheap these days to do a half-day trip up the hill (and it's far less expensive to go to your local grocer to grab a pumkin. But it's for the outdoor experience and to clear some headspace AWAY from Sacramento. Also couple this with treks to 2 different local wineries, and a stop at the Taphouse Bar & Grill in Placerville before hitting the road back to SacTown, all the costs aggregate together in a fun overall trip! THE LOWDOWN O'Halloran's is still a great place to all sorts of fun, seasonal produce, smell some fresh air, and have a lot of fun while doing all that.

We had a great time walking around, we did the little nature trail, which was really just a ramble through the Apple Orchard. Back at the farmhouse, they had a lot of produce available or you could do the you pick yourself Apple experience. I already had so many apples from another farmers market we went to, but I bought several pears and a giant green Mutsu apple, both were divine. There was a lady letting you taste the apples and pears, and she was a little salty, but I thought in a quirky and fun way. The guy that helped us at the cash register was super friendly and helpful. I had a blast being a big kid and feeding the goats and sheep. They provide bags of lettuce for one dollar, totally worth the money. The pumpkin patch isn't open yet but when it does open, you actually go out and cut your own pumpkin off the vine. Too cool. I would absolutely return to this business.
