Snuggled up atop a hill. Such a lovely quiet spot to bring your family. They have fresh baked bread, homemade popsicles, complimentary coffee. The gals working here, and the hands that prepare the land and the fruit are a breath of fresh air. Bring plenty of room for fresh fruit and a picnic blanket. End prepare to leave the world behind for a moment. read more

Hooverville Orchards - Vanilla ice cream with mix berry sauce and granola - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Placerville, California

11/17/24 We recently discovered Hooverville Orchards on a local community post and have been looking to go check them out. Hubs loves pie in general so you know I had to drag him along! We finally made it out on Sunday morning and it's a really cute orchard! Hooverville Orchards offers so many fruit pies, cobblers, cookies, sourdough bread, tiramisu, fruit juices, jams and jellies and fresh baked gluten free pies. We grabbed a large peach blackberry pie and a sourdough bread to go. The sourdough is sooo good! It's perfectly the right chewy texture and taste! I wished we would have grabbed 2! My kids felt like the perfect description for this bread was if sourdough & ciabatta had a baby bread. OoOo haha. I read that they occasionally have garlic loaves, rosemary flavored and even Olive ones too! I'd have to come back one of those weekends! They are taking Thanksgiving Pie orders through this week. The pie was really good too! The crust was flaky and good. The fruit was not overly sweet or tart and best of all served warm if you go early enough. This past weekend, they also had satsuma mandarins available for $3/lb. We grabbed a bag and grabbed a little over 3lbs for the kiddos lunch snack for school this week. It's a tad tart but oh so juicy bursting tart mandarins! It's a bit of a windy road getting there so try to take it easy and try not missing the left turn to the Orchard as you'd be stuck for a few minutes up the hill trying to make a U-turn to make a sharp right turn. We didn't spend a ton of time there but read that they have a huge rose garden where you can pick your own roses for $1/stem! We'll have to roam around next time! We'll be back soon. read more

Very smart of the business to post "you're almost there!" signs on the way here because I was starting to get over driving on the winding road lol. Actively running orchard location with a small bakery shop. The apple slices in the apple crumble pie were very much on the tart side (like, from super Granny Smith apples or something lol). Favorite thing about this pie is the streusel topping; one of the best that I've tried on an apple crumble/dutch apple pie because it retains its crispiness well even after a few days in the refrigerator. Marionberry pie was jam-packed (no pun intended) with dense puréed marionberry filling. I prefer fruit pies that have a chunky filling but this one is great for those who don't want to deal with any pie filling gloopiness. The gentleman at the counter recommended getting a sourdough loaf so I got one. Freshly baked! Very subtle tang but the interior was quite fluffy. Overall I'd say it's worth the drive if you're still curious about the offerings here. Not gonna lie these pies particularly would make great additions to a Thanksgiving table. :p read more

Drive down a well marked road and you arrive at a beautiful spot with plenty of picnic tables and shade. Among the wonderful things they offer: homemade pies, delicious sourdough bread, freshly picked produce and fruit. The whole Sacramento and Placerville area raves about their peaches. This is a good place to enjoy the free coffee and tea and buy many pies. Dogs are welcome with food and water. read more

If you only want some yummy treats, skip apple hill and come here!! We bought so many different goodies savory, sweet and fresh fruit. Everything was PHENOMENAL. I was truly only expecting a few things to be good and the rest ok, like most places have a few star items and the rest are just mediocre but I loved everything we got! We bought: Ham, Bacon and Cheese scones Strawberry lemon scone 3 berry apple pie with the crumb topping Snickerdoodle cookie Chocolate Chip Cookie Oatmeal Iced Cookie Tangelos Asian Pear We had the kindest service, and our kiddos loved playing on the play-set and walking to look at the orchards! The beautiful hummingbirds were so fun to watch as well. read more

Hooverville Orchards is a small family ran orchard in Placerville, CA. It's off the beaten track. It's not on Apple Hill. What it does have is a u-pick rose garden, picnic area, and on-site bakery. In the bakery, they sell seasonal fresh farm grown fruit, baked goods, and jams and jellies. The operation is on a much smaller scale and more traditional low key than Apple Hill. Less hubbub. The small shopfront bakery makes cookies, pies... tons of pies. They sell frozen pies and fresh baked ones on two sizes (6 in and 9 in). They also sell ice cream by the scoop. Pie Al la mode anyone? The woman that helped me in the bakery was the best. She had a great attitude with a bright smile. Even when the shop got busy, she made sure to welcome and engage with everyone. I bought a 6 inch peach & raspberry pie and three jumbo peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. The prices were a bit cheaper or comparable than Apple Hill. The cookies were on the crispier side, good flavors. The pie.... Woo wee it was delicious. The crust was flaky without disintegrating as I sliced my fork through it. The berry mix was the right consistency, no runny mess, and without being toothache achingly sweet. The picnic area is where we sat and ate the cookies. Oops forgot to take pics. We sat under the massive thatched branch canopy. Before you leave, don't forget to check out the rose garden. It's a u-pick, $1 a stem. There are shears available to use. I picked a couple of roses, they bloomed for 5-6 days. My only gripe is the bathroom facility or lack of one. There is a porta toilet and outdoor wash station out in the parking lot under the oak tree. @hoovervilleorchards read more

Love this hidden gem. We stopped by for my favorite Satsuma tangerines currently in season but couldn't leave without taking home a few baked goods from their bakery that is under new ownership & newly remodeled. Their pies were delicious but the organic sour dough bread won me over! read more

Best fresh fruit and locally made produce. The drive is a little tricky in that you have to maneuver a tight single car road but the produce is totally worth it. My daughter loves the sourdough bread. We come once a month any we've never been disappointed. read more

Two beautiful women baking pies, and cupcakes , what could be better !? Hidden pie paradise well worth the drive. After that hit up coloma and the river. Lovely jublee, the real dolce vita:) read more

Wow! This place is a little hidden but so glad I found it!! If you are looking for something to do or a place to visit and you are in the area, this is a must for adults or even families with kids! You will have a blast eating their amazing pies (I love the cherry pie) and their ice cream with berries! I can't say enough, this place is so so good! We got some ice cream with berries and a cherry pie, apple pie and some other fruits! We loved everything and the gentleman there was super helpful and friendly! I will definitely be stopping by often and having some more desserts and ice cream for sure! The ambiance is a lost treasure that when found you either want to keep to yourself or in my case tell everyone about it ! read more

Great place. Wonderful peaches. Fabulous bakery, even have gluten free items. Friendly and very attentive. Nice patio and "you pick" garden. Worth the drive, beautiful path, but tight spots so drive slow. read more

Enjoyed going to Hooverville Bake Shop. Walked into the bakery and was greeted with a smile from Holly and Jen. I asked for recommendations as there were so many items to choose from. In the end, I left with a pie for that night, along with a frozen pie to bake later, tasty pistachio granola and cookies. My time was limited so next time I go, I want to enjoy their beautiful picnic grounds and some ice cream and pie! Thank you for your hospitality and the yummy treats! I definitely will be back! read more

Hooverville is our go to Farmers Market stop each week but this was my first time to their quaint bake shop in Placerville. Bought 4 pies for Thanksgiving and each one was amazing! So fresh and yummy. The crusts were insanely good. Beautiful views and property - worth the drive. read more

Best pies and service. The pies were not over sweet and crust flaky . We came in late and by accident overpaid $50 cash. The worker chased me down to my van and returned the overpayment. There's still good in this world. Definitely, will be coming back. read more

Hooverville Orchards - Apple, peach blackberry pie - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Placerville, California

We must have Pie ! We happen to pass this magical place on our way to a friend's home. The vast array of pink Apple tree blossoms captured our attention. So naturally-we has to stop. It hosts blue ribbon fruit, and a plethora of delicious jams & jellies. Yummmm--Fresh baked pies and pastries. My fav: the Peach Blackberry Raspberry pie. Location: Hooverville Orchard is located just off highway 49 a few miles north of Placerville. Tip: arrive early if you want a selection! These pies go quick. Note: Cash preferred-but they do take CC. read more

If you've driven this stretch of highway 49, you may have noticed an intersection with a side road that has a big sign saying "Fresh Pies!" After driving past this sign many times, this weekend I finally gave into my curiosity and turned down that road. I am so glad I did! They have an incredible selection of pies (and jellies and jams too) all made from fruit they grew themselves. I bought an apple blackberry pie and was blown away at how delicious it tasted. If you like pies or you like fresh fruit, this place is 100% worth visiting. I will be back! read more

Granted this place is off the beaten path on Hwy 49 between Placerville and Cool but it's so worth going especially on a lovely autumn day. This is our second visit. Our first visit was with the granddaughters and then again last Saturday. I always want to refer to this place as Whoville. lol. I have family that will venture out here to pick peaches and will also pick up frozen pies for neighbors in the Bay Area. One of my niece's neighbors has her pick up frozen pies for her, she then bakes them, and gifts the pie away as something she made. Great idea and why not?! We picked up a frozen apple crumb pie, small blackberry pie, and jar of black cherry jam. We also purchased a slice of apple caramel pie ala mode and shared that in their picnic area. In total, we spent $52. The picnic area has a playground. When we took the grands we couldn't get them off the playground equipment to eat their ice cream. lol. This is a 50-year-old business. Everyone that we have come in contact with has been so nice. The pies are a bit pricey but don't you want quality? This is coming from someone buying pies from Costco. This is a year-round business so I will be back for my homemade pies for my neighbors. lol read more

Good selection, tasty pies, friendly service, very pretty farm. Not giving it five stars because I don't want it to get so popular that the pies sell out before I get there! read more

Best pies ever! Well worth the drive from Sacramento! Owners are very hospitable and gracious. Bake shop is better than other ranchers bake shops in area. Found this gem only a few years ago. Had always only gone to the other Apple Hill ranches! This one is the best for pies. Haven't tried any of their jellies and jams yet! But if you are a fan of pies, they are the best! Fun area for families. read more

One of the nicest places we've eaten fresh pie lol. Perfect spot. Kids loved it. Eat an apple pear.

Ordered apple, berry and pumpkin pies for our family's Thanksgiving and they were sooooooo good. The family-run business also gives the process of picking up pies such an old-fashioned wonderful holiday feeling. Five yummy stars! read more

This was such a fun place to visit..They drive was beautiful..I was with a group of 4 girlfriends. They have nice signs on the way so you know your on track. Their area is set up beautiful..we took home a bunch of goodies and enjoyed some there as well.. read more

Amazing pies and fresh fruits to take home among the foothills. Dale the owner is friendly and greets everyone with a smile.

Best Lemon Cake ever! Adorable place to visit with the family. I don't know if the orchard is organic or if they spray toxic chemicals on their plants, but it sure a cute place and the family who owns and runs out are wonderful. read more

Perfect Apple Hill farm full of variety of fruit orchards. Worth the drive to buy the perfect pie. The crust is perfect.

What a wonderful respite after the zoo of Apple Hill. They had a wonderful selection of seasonal produce including apples, of course! We bought two pies. The fresh apple was excellent. The other we bought frozen to have later. What a nice family friendly business. I recommend Hooverville Orchards. read more

Worth the drive! Family owned. Friendly. Picnic area. Great selection of freshly baked and/or frozen pies. Cookie selection is unbelievable! Humming birds are dancing around the many feeders adding to the country atmosphere. Lots of grass area for the little ones to run around or play catch. Plan on staying awhile for a picnic. Relax. Eat. Enjoy! Oh, and forget the calories! read more

While it is definitely off the beaten path, it is so worth it. We bought a fresh pie and several frozen ones. We finished the fresh marionberry pie in no time. It was so delicious and obviously freshly home baked. The guy working was very helpful and super friendly. read more

What a great place. I love that the pies are made from the fruit grown on the orchard. And I love the u-pick rose garden. If you have a chance definitely stop by. read more

Hidden gem between Placerville and Auburn! The Asian pears are amazing, and we love the small size apple pies! Nice outdoor seating and dog friendly! read more

Absolutely one of the best pies I've ever had. Called the day before to see if they had cherry/peach. She said because all the fruit is fresh (or frozen fresh), they could make me one for the next day (when I wanted it anyway). No extra charge. Made with the fruit sugar as the primary sweetness of the pie. Unlike pies from other places, these pies taste like fruit, not sugar. Every bite savored, delicious throughout! read more

What a beautiful gem of an orchard store! Pies and jams and fresh fruit . Lovely picnic areas and the owner is friendly and engaging. It's a beautiful scenic drive and worth your time. I will be back! read more

Being a carnivore, I'm not usually an -extreme- fan of fruits, but this business had me singing a different tune on the way to Tahoe. Hooverville has really fresh, succulent fruits of all kinds, including apples, oranges, several types of Asian pears, and they also make pies, jams and jellies. Another reason why I like these guys is because they come out to the bay area for farmers' markets. If you're around Redwood City on a Saturday morning, you should head downtown and stock up on some high quality, cheap, delicious fruit! read more

Love all the Orchards this time of year. Fishin for the kids ,crafts vendors galore Minestrone pkg. soups, apple shakes ( the line was 20 deep.Definitely a GO TO place. Couldn't believe the amout of people. High hill ranch had Tamales ,a fudge factory & more.A great day & of course all the apples you want plus apple pies read more

The wife and I were on the 49 to Auburn and saw the road signs, we live in Camino(part of Apple Hill) and decided we should have a look see on the way back. Beyond glad we did, because Dale or Del, the pie makers husband really had a lot to say about his wife's pies and must humbly agree, hands down the best pie crust ever and quite possibly my new all time favorite filling, peach, Apple and raspberries. WOW! Well worth the 1.2 mile narrow drive into the establishment, plenty of frozen pies to be had, but we purchased a fresh baked and will be back to do more damage in the very near future. I need that pie crust recipe, bad... read more
