A good spot to stop if you're hungry and thirsty during your Apple Hill visit. Larsen has an apple…read morebarn, museum, small picnic area, and bake shop on the property. 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.

The best part is you can do taste testing, which makes it so much fun to try new varieties and find your favorite. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable with great customer service. I bought a bag of small golden delicious apples. Such a charming place with history, great apples, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area!

Sounds like it would be a bunch of flavors but they just marry. The chicken pot pie was hot and fresh and busting with chicken and flavors. The grilled cheese had a nice crunch but I would probably change the ham to one that was a little less sweet. Drew bean has indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of options with shade. They also have a little porch area for seating. Nurses and military personnel are given a discount!

So, we rented the fishing rod for $12 but we didn't catch anything (not sure if there're any fish in the pond) - it was fun though. - Apple fritter walnut ($7): the fritter was good & cinnamony. It has lots of apple pieces and was covered with walnuts. It wasn't too sweet which was my liking. - Donut crumb ($2): the donut was good and soft. The crumb gave crunchy texture on the surface of the donut. - Dutch apple pie slice ($6): was ok. There were packed with apple pieces, very cinnamony and not too sweet. However, the crumb on top of the pie (that makes it 'Dutch') was disappointing - it was soggy and clumpy. - Sour cream berry pie ($6): delicious! The sour cream intensified the berry flavor and it was super good!

I've had too many good memories here at this point to give it less than a five star. High Hill is…read morebig, has a lot to offer, and can be very busy on weekends and holidays. But! If you go on a random Wednesday you took off specifically for your chef friend on her day off so you could come get her necklace fixed by Wave Gods? We nearly had the place to ourselves compared to usual! Neither of us actually remembered which orchard Wave Gods posts up shop at, but we weren't worried. We knew we would know it by sight, and we did! Wave Gods is a beautifully handcrafted jeweler. They're local, fair trade, high quality, fairly priced, and super friendly people. I found a lovely amethyst ring for just $30. And I can trust that it's going to last a very long time if I don't lose it. Wave Gods fixed Jenna's necklace in no time at all, did a cleanse on it to expel all the nasty aura ex bf essences, and she traded one of the beads he made her pick for one of her own choosing. You can have custom pieces done, be they rings, engagement rings, bracelets, earrings or necklaces. Super amazing shop. Check them out! Another excellent reason to stop by here is to munch on a fresh, hot, crunchy, sticky apple fritter. Good lord almighty I hadn't had one in several years but had been having a hankering. The fritter I ordered was everything. I would have wolfed the whole thing down right there but my tummy is what it is so I saved half for later. Delicious heavenly goodness. The duck pond is another fun feature where you can often watch dogs and their humans as well as ducks and geese of all kinds. I remember coming here with my grandparents when I was really little, and appreciate that it still looks the same as it ever did. Maybe not as immense as it seemed to kid me though. Cozy good times and food times at High Hill ranch. Most of what you come up to apple hill for you can find here, plus more craft tents than other orchards have. You may have to use a port o pot. It'll be fine. Vegan Corner: the Fudge Factory has vegan pies ! And gluten free for anyone looking.

Went on a hike on our trip to California and stumbled upon this coffee shop…read more The staff is very knowledgeable in the surrounding area if you're interested in going kayaking or hiking. All the food that they have there is made fresh to order the morning of and runs out very quickly because it is a local spot. I would highly recommend getting a slice of pie and one of their empanadas that are made fresh. They have different coffees that is comparable to Starbucks, but I would say is cheaper and a large larger portion. The inside is a market that has different local goods made by the locals in the area as well as indoor and outdoor seating near the river. It's a very cute mom and pop shop that gives you a feel of the local area, I would highly recommend going inside and taking a look and talking to the staff there!

Ikeda : 80 on the way to North Lake Tahoe :: The Barn : 50 on the way to South Lake Tahoe…read more The Barn is a smaller version of Ikeda that has more focus on fresh produce rather than dried fruits, candies, and such. Driving down from Tahoe, these stores offer an opportunity to take an interesting rest break. Although sour cream apple pie sounded sketchy, it was the creamiest apple pie I ever had. I requested a non-tart pie, and this 10" round of heaven delivered the best pie crust and natural fruit flavor ever. There are pre-made pies ready for bake or already baked pies. If the 10" pies are too large, then go for the pie turnovers. The coconut doesn't come in the 10" size, but there's the turnover. My friend got the apricot turnover, and it was filled with fresh slices of fruit. Delish to the max. Also, I've been scouring for apple butter, exactly like the ones found in Texas. The Barn carries this scrumptious spread. I was all over that! And can you believe that this place carries loads of pummelos? Stunned by this eclectic grocery store and bake shop.
