    Thank you to my sister for introducing my family and I to Cover's Apple Ranch. Located in Tuolumne, not only is this place a sit-down eatery but it also provides entertainment. This establishment offers fresh foods, baked goods, mini train rides, and a petting zoo. First and foremost, understand that the entire place is smaller than I initially imagined. With all of the fun readily available, I wished it was more spacious. The petting zoo contains a coop full of black speckled chickens, 1 extremely large pig, 1 cow, 1 donkey, some goats, and a duck pond. The feed [corn kernels] is obtained through a gum ball machine that will cost you 25 cents for a small handful. The bakery counter has a large number of baked good to choose from and the fresh apple cider is amazing. The restaurant serves breakfast until 11am and offers salads, sandwiches, and espresso coffees. 4 stars, my toddler and her cousins that the most entertaining time here at Clover's. While I didn't get the chance to actually dine in the restaurant, I eagerly look forward to trying their apple walnut salad and the pot pie.

    Great place to stop by if you're visiting. Especially if you have kids or looking for a little family breakfast trip. The French toast breakfast was amazing. I love the syrup and they do make their own bread there. Not sure how busy it gets but when we got there it was just us and 2 other people but once we were done exploring it started getting busy. Our server was sweet Thankyou so much and this place feels like a cozy home farm style house/restaurant. Once you're done I recommend to look at the animals and they have a train that takes you around as well.

    I dont usually write 1 star reviews. I'll start with what was good. Our server (Logan) was really friendly. They were short staffed so it was taking a bit longer for the order. We were fine with it. Our server helped with a few suggestions as well. Also he helped us get train tickets which they usually sell inside the bakery, saving us time. The food was also good. We got the chicken sandwich, kids chicken tenders meal and the veggie sandwich. Everything was flavorful. Now for the part that surprised me and took me off guard. We got the train tickets from our server and headed out to board the train. We sat ourselves down in one of the spaces. The conductor seemed very friendly, talking to two families while checking their tickets. Having a fun conversation with each of the kids. Asking their names, making jokes. Then he came to us. My daughter extended her hand to give him the tickets. He didnt even acknowledge her. Just proceeded to lock our section for safety and without saying a word moved on to the next carriage where he immediately greeted them with a joyful smile. Similar thing happened while getting off. He was really sweet with all the other kids and just ignored my kids completely while my daughter was thanking him. I usually do not write about incidents like this when it happens to me. I brush it off and move on with my day. But this time it was with my daughter. I'm surprised how someone can do something like this to a child. I will not be coming back here.

    It's packed!!!

    I've been coming here forever and during summer they do something huge with the farm where you get to ride the train to the petting zoo! The animals are adorable, and the stars of the show. I tried looking for food to feed the goats because I am a total sucker for their cuteness! Especially the baby animals! The vibes are calming if you're able to get a through the craziness and get a good view of everything even though it can get VERY busy especially on weekends! We and everyone always love to see animals being happy and in good care. Today they had a bunch of trucks out some with dirt slides and kids sliding down the dirt Superman style like a water slide lol couldn't be me personally I'm a germaphobe, and an adult lol! but must be fun stuff for them!! We did go in and get some sweet treats, this establishment has a wide variety of their brand apple juice, cider, jam, apple pies, chicken pot pies, turkey pot pies, veggie pot pies, and much much more on the inside part as well as a mini restaurant. The outside we hit a food truck that had you're typical hot dogs, pretzels, corn dogs (we had to get a couple) I did hold off on the shaved ice this time maybe next time! Everyone here is extremely friendly and it's an overall wonderful enjoying time!!! Highly recommend for a summer day if you love apples and treats visit their gift shop, restaurant, want to pet some cute animals in and out of the barns sight see, and ride a train! Just about everything!!! Covers Apple Ranch is the best! And not only during summer, but seasonally!

    Quiche & chili

    Went to Covers for lunch. Their food is always delicious. Went in around 2:45 on a Saturday; so they were near the end of their day. They stop seating in the restaurant at 3pm. We were seated quickly and asked for drink orders. The restaurant was pretty full so it took a minute to place our food order, which worked perfectly for us because the others hadnt ever been here before. While they glanced over the menu I got a few things from their bakery counter before they sold out for the day. We got a peach & apple hand pies. Both were so good. For lunch I ordered the club sandwich with Avocado & fries, my grandma got a club sandwich no lettuce with thr house made chips, mom got a veggie sandwich and fries and my brother got the quiche with their chili. All the food was really good, the house made chips stole the show, if you are thinking about them as a side, dont think, just do. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. Half is their bakery and store the other half is seating for the resturant. Their decor is so cute and their apple soda & cider are delicious. They sell snacks, candy, and other goods. We got a gallon of cider to go, some candy and a few plant starts. I was able to take home a beautiful Persian Shield for a great price. Everyone enjoyed the food.

    Love this place break fast is always great! Had eggs and toast family had pancakes and French toast all were made with care and love tasted great! A great way to start a morning.

    My friends and I are waiting for our train ride to begin. We really enjoyed it. Seeing the apple orchard was dope.

    Oh my goodness I want to Thank my fellow Yelpers for your great reviews. My friends and I enjoyed everything from the Ambiance to th food & especially the people. The onion rings are and so was my turkey club. I cannot wait to go back again. We loved the train ride and the wide selection of various beautiful things to purchase. My absolute favorite was the warm Strawberry pie. It's the best I've ever had from the flaky buttery and oh so tender crust to the plump & tasty strawberries. I cannot wait to visit again and try the apple soda and buy some things that caught my eye.

    We have always heard that this place is worth the stop if going to Black Oak Casino. Wife and I stopped today and we were glad we did. Very authentic food, everything is made from scratch! Wife had the Fabulous French Toast and I got the Cover's Skillet with sausage. The molasses syrup and berry jam that came with our meals were unbelievable. We are going to make this a regular breakfast stop if in the area. I also want to try their lunch menu as it has some great sounding sandwich options. Great service! They also have a bakery and gift shop that sells lots of cool items (including gallon jugs of unfiltered apple cider). You can pick up food/coffee through their drive through and they have a train ride for the kids. Stop here, you won't regret it!

    Play train

    Taylor THANK YOU- THANK YOU You and Covers are the BEST! You totally hooked us up with the best Freshest, most delicious Dutch Apple Pie. Out of town guests and raved about your pies... thought we missed out but you came to the rescue! . Enjoyed the train, the playground & the petting zoo.

    Writing only about their Dutch Apple pie which our neighbor's daughter, who lives in Tuolumne, brought back as a gift for us. The pie was delicious and one of the best ones I've tried from a restaurant-bakery. I never get up to that area but I hope to stop by if we're ever in the area.

    Patio view from Covers.. Cutest bird. Had to take a picture
    Jennifer

    Covers is a perfect place to spend the Afternoon with your family. From the playground, animals, and train. Their soups are amazing and their fresh baked pies and cookies are always delicious. The staff always greet you with a smile. Definitely recommend coming here for a fun day and a delicious meal.

Natacha was great. She was referred by a mutual friend , we got the large zoo which included goat/sheep/and what we thought was mini pig. The pig was Gemma who is advertised as the "kissing pig" , she was totally fine (definitely not mini) but my issue was with the girl assisting . She was the "gatekeeper" while Natacha did pony rides. This may needed to have changed as the girl allowing kids in to the "petting zoo" was an issue. Not friendly, very abrupt with the kids, I understand being a rule follower but she wasn't professional with asking the guests to abide by them. I went in with my daughter to pet the animals and literally as we approached Gemma she blurted out "don't touch her face, talk to her before touching her, don't scare her " , I am pretty respectful of animals and educate my kids but this was ridiculous .. my 4 year old literally stopped walking towards the pig and said "mom I don't want to hurt the pig" . My daughter wasn't even doing anything wrong and to jump at her was excessive. Guidance and education go a long way but to be snappy and scare kids to not pet animals at a petting zoo and for the price I paid! Honestly ruined the experience for me as she did. It get any friendlier or professional. The other parents didn't complain but also noticed the "unfriendly" vibe she gave .Thank goodness we paid extra for pony rides as this was the only real highlight of the party. Natacha was great making sure we got a family photo and let my son ( the bday boy) ride for long times when no other kid was in line. I do wish the petting area was bigger . With the assistant 4 animals and an adult with each kid ( 91 adult per kid ) in the pen it was very tight fitting. No two adults and kids could be in there at once . Overall cute idea. Glad I had a bounce house and numerous other activities for the kids as this wouldn't have been enough. Again I hate to leave less than perfect reviews but looking back at the prep and pay for this was my push to leave an honest review .

    The petting zoo was an absolute hit at my daughter's party! Can't say enough good things about the…read moreset up, clean up and the overall operation of things! All of the animals were so sweet and happy!

There was only one other person in there when we arrived, but by the time we left it was packed! Counter staff was super friendly and I love that you can see the hard work that's happening in the back of the house. It's such a cozy vibe. They post their daily menu to Instagram so I already had a list of what I wanted, but it all looked SO GOOD so we left with much more than originally planned. Bagels: the BEST and I mean BEST sourdough bagels that I've ever had. When others make them a lot of times they turn out too dense, but these were perfectly puffed on the outside, a little tangy, and chewy when you rip into the bite. YUM! Today they had cheddar, plain, and everything. Classic Sourdough: perfectly cooked, perfectly chewy. I've had the cheddar-jalapeño before and it had a great flavor but that loaf was a little too chewy for me. The classic hits just right. They also have flavors like apple cinnamon, garlic, and gouda rosemary... just to name a few. AND they have some gluten-free if that's what you're into or need. It's coming fresh out of the oven regularly. Cookies: don't sleep on the sourdough cookies! They're perfectly chewy, large, and so flavorful. The molasses are my favorite but honorable mentions include snickerdoodle, peanut butter, and chocolate chip. They also have an assortment of cakes - we opted for a huge slice of carrot cake that was a "small" - and desserts. There were cinnamon rolls, tiramisu, and honestly so much more that I blacked out a little and wanted one of everything. All in all, we walked away with a full bag of bread and treats for only $32! They take card and cash. As I mentioned before, be sure to follow their IG @2acrefarms_sonorasourdough for what's offered daily!
