One of the few U-Pick apple orchards remaining in Tehachapi. Knaus Ranch brings back wonderful…read morechildhood memories of pick-your-own farms that dotted Kern County. Farm fresh apples are a treat. Don't expect those glossy grocery store apples here. But do expect superb flavor and juicy ripe apples! Do yourself a favor and buy a bag of the ugly ones (if they have them!). These are perfect for making apple-sauce, juicing, and pretty much anything that involves cooking! Depending on the season you may want to bring a light sweater. Tehachapi is the land of four seasons (in one day!) for a reason! Cash only. No facilities. No Pets.

There are hotels and restaurants in town nearby if you have a multi-day shoot. We definitely recommend this location! It has everything you'd need for a shoot out in the high desert!

Such great service, scenery was lovely ( a country feel) and the WINE! I ordered a bottle of wine, and my boyfriend got the wine tasting.

Strolling through the charming vendor booths was such a treat; I left with candles, cookies, fresh sourdough, and salsas. There's something so special about supporting local artisans in a setting that feels both intimate and beautifully curated. We strolled over for brunch and the Breakfast Panino was outstanding: soft ciabatta layered with prosciutto, provolone, a fried egg, arugula, parmesan, and truffle oil, each bite perfectly balanced and indulgent. The unlimited mimosa offering sounded tempting, though the champagne itself fell a bit short. Still, with sweeping ranch views, gentle spring air, and warm, welcoming energy, this east-side gem feels like a serene escape, elegant yet comforting, a gorgeous Sunday morning well spent.

Even though, I had fallen off the horse (Found out later I cracked my rib, but was totally badass to tell everyone I feel off a horse and broke a rib lol) Lucas is one of the most patient and friendliest person ever too and really helped me with getting back on the horse too because I was ready to just walk back. will defiantly be going back!! 10 *s

Overall working with the animals and Michael has helped me attain much confidence in my abilities. Hopefully I'll come back in the near future.
