    "Start here" is where you grab your supplies if you didn't bring your own. I think it's open to grab? Just put it back when you're done.

    My daughter has been wanting to go apple picking and we had the day to finally take her. She had a blast! About a 90 minute drive give or take from San Francisco. The last few miles takes you through winding roads where you're greeting with a sign to enter the farm. There is a "Start here" sign to the left of the barn where you grab your supplies (apple picker/bag) or you can bring your own. I think it's open for anyone to grab. From there you walk past the main parking lot to the apple trees. Most of the apples are reachable for most adults, you'll need the apple picker for a few apples higher up. When you're done just take what you picked to the produce shack. They'll weight what you picked and you pay per pound. They also have apple juice, slushies and other apple products for sale. Highly recommend the slushies! There's also a small hay maze for kids. They have bathrooms, which is like an upgraded port a potty. Overall I think the experience was awesome. I'll say that it was annoying seeing people eat the apples before they paid for them. Or pick apples then decide they didn't want them and throw them on the ground. Just inspect the apple before you pick it. But i'll say that some apples fell while picking other apples To the reviewer who had to wait said "I would wait for her to come back", then complain that you had to wait... lol. You sound ridiculous.

    What a fun experience! I highly recommend their u pick apple picking! My son recently learned about plant growth cycles in school by studying apple trees so was delighted to go pick his very own among 4 varieties at Ratliff. They provide a pile and bag and make it easy to pay by accepting card and cash. Don't miss their cider-it's "the best juice ever" according to my little!

    Cute apple orchard with Roman beauties and golden delicious. Great for families and a great place to go for a fall activity. They also sell some must try apple cider! Came on a Sunday in mid to late September and there were plenty of apples. They hand you an apple pick for the out of reach apples and an apple apron for holding your apples. Orchard wasn't crowded. They also had a picnic area with hay bale seating for picnicking! Everyone we spoke to who works there were super friendly.

    Came on a Sunday and parking was easy- there's a huge lot towards the back / near the exit. It was towards the end of the season so most of the trees were picked through, but we were still able to pick more than enough. Staff is friendly - they provide you with the necessary tools (apple picker and bag) and are responsive via facebook messenger! They appear to be dog friendly and there's picnic tables you can use. Line to pay was long and slowish. Wish there was a separate line for weighing/paying for apples only. Will definitely come back next season.

    Finding an orchard that allowed pets wasn't that easy so was super excited to find this ranch. We drove here from the east bay about 1.5 hours taking some pretty interesting backroads. Once we got to the ranch there were parking attendants letting you know where to park and there were nice ladies at the front explaining the process and giving out apple loaner bags. Along the orchard there were picnic tables and some shade. We even saw a cute bday party set up there. The apple cider is delicious especially the kinda slushy one! Apples were inexpensive at $2/pound. The apple catchers can be shared with other families so just look for someone coming out of the orchard and pass it along when you are finished as well. It's our first time apple picking and we had an amazing time with our 3 year old. Wear shoes that you don't mind getting dusty!

    A quart of their famous award winning Apple-A-Day 100% Cold Pressed Apple Juice from Davis Farmer's Market~ The best juice we've ever had!
    Rachelle P.

    Yesterday my boyfriend, daughter and I spotted their booth at the Davis Farmer's Market in Central Park, which ran 8AM-1PM! I purchased a quart of their famous award winning Apple-A-Day 100% Cold Pressed Apple Juice. It was the best apple juice we've ever brought our lips to, it taste just like apple cider and it was gone in seconds! Not to mention it contains no added sugar, no preservatives and it's non GMO, can I sip to that!? I would highly recommend this local, small family-run business and we are definitely looking forward to trying more of what they have to offer and chugging more juice lol!

    $2 a pound!

    Such a fun Fall destination!! Some friends and I visited recently for an afternoon of apple picking. What a treat! The ranch is beautiful, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the apples were delicious. Better yet, the apples were reasonably priced. I left with a large bag of apples for under $5. It was a hot October day when I visited and I was delighted to learn that they sell apple cider SLUSHIES. Amazing and refreshing! I'll definitely be back to visit again.

    Had a fantastic time picking apples with my wife - we came towards the end of the season so many of the trees were picked through fairly thoroughly, but we still ended up picking 8.5lbs of delicious apples. It was fun, parking was easy, folks working there were very friendly - they give you a bag and apple picker once you check in, and after you're done they give you a to-go bag to carry the treasures home. My only feedback was that I wish they had a separate line for paying for your apples, vs a combined line for those that wanted to order snacks, apple cider, and other made to order drinks. Overall I would definitely come back - maybe earlier in the season! Oh and there were some picnic tables scattered throughout the apple trees - saw some people enjoying a nice meal with some beverages.

    This is an excellent place to go for autumn apple picking -- unlike many farms, you don't need a reservation nor do you need to pay an entrance fee. They charge $2/lb for apples which seems quite reasonable... plus there's plenty of room to spread out and find your own tree! Don't forget to pick up a refreshing bottle of frozen apple juice to enjoy during your drive home.

    Apples and fresh juice

    What a fun activity! While a bit of a trek, Apple-a-day was a unique experience outside of Sebastopol. Apples are $2/pound and they give you picking bags and fruit pickers for the fruit on the higher branches. We came towards the end of the season so we had to trek pretty far into the orchard but there was still tons of fruit to pick. All in all we were there for about an hour max. Plus, they have probably the BEST fresh squeezed apple juice I've ever tried.

    An Apple-A-Day keeps the doctor away. Plus, it tastes SO good!

    If an "apple-a-day keep the doctor away" then sign me up for a year's supply of Ratzlaff Ranch's apple juice. Especially nowadays, we need to feed our bodies with healthy nutrients more than ever! While some politicians think injecting disinfectant in our bodies is a smart way to stay healthy during the Coronavirus, I think I'm gonna stick with juicing. And nobody (and I mean NOBODY) makes better apple juice than Ratzlaff Ranch. You obviously can buy it directly from the source. But if you don't happen to be in the Sebastopol area, you can find their juice in the refrigerated section of most local grocery stores (Safeway, Nugget Market, Whole Foods, etc.) and Farmer's Markets. I'm always amazed by how inexpensive it is, too. One pint (16 oz) of their fresh, cold-pressed apple juice is usually around $2. That's a helluva lot cheaper than what you'd pay at a juice shop. And when I buy a pint of Apple-a-Day at the store, I usually finish the bottle in the car before I even make it home. Yes, it's that refreshing! A few pro-tips: 1) Make sure to serve the juice chilled or over ice. 2) Make sure to shake the bottle before serving. 3) Don't leave it out of the fridge overnight or else it will become sour/fermented fast (because they don't use preservatives like other juices). 4) It makes for a great cocktail mixer! Try it with vodka or even tequila. Lastly, if you're going to be juicing, then stick with local. Local farms and merchants like Ratzlaff Ranch need our support more than ever right now!

I've read other posts about the prices and the sandwiches within this particular marketplace and sorry, I'm from Silicon Valley, but the prices are the same with Silicon Valley as this little particular shop! That being said, they had a number of organic, eclectic, allergy sensitive items like gluten-free or vegan items that I only see at specialty stores all within a nutshell of this little hidden gem in the middle of nowhere mind you!! I also loved the corner, left hand spot of a mini pharmacy where they had a handful of organic, home remedy items that you could buy over-the-counter!! I wish I could have tried one of their sandwiches, but we are eating dinner across the street at a nostalgic Italian restaurant, and I was very eager to see what they had!! I can't wait to come back to this adorable little town and come shopping again!! They also had an amazing wine selection, and I would love to try all the local wineries that I saw driving into this little hidden gem within Sebastopol! I can't WAIT to come back here!

However, I watched the barista make the drinks and he was extremely measured and clearly experienced. We could also see the kitchen where food was being made. My point is they are very committed to their craft here! The ambience is so cozy! Nice warm lighting, lots of seating, and even a kids play area.
