No homeless encampments, chaos, just lots of people taking photos and buying stuff. I really enjoyed people-watching and I love to shop so I'm sort of beating myself up for not visiting Apple Hill sooner! I will definitely be back on my own because we were on a time crunch and only visited 2 places but I'm glad this was the first stop! I just wanted BBQ so I skipped the long line I saw in the front and ordered it from the bar, the young woman working was very pleasant & kind! Everyone was actually!

Beautiful views that trail wrap around vineyards- the entrance is breathtaking! Small pop up booths of local vendors surround the orchard with cute gifts and souvenirs for the harvest season. They also have a fruit stand- & i love fresh fruit but the majority of the fruit here was split open and looking dull or brown in appearance like it was close to expiring. The lines were long for the cider donuts & sadly it didn't move fast. So I never got to try to cider donuts bc when I went it was almost one hr from closing. A lot of the pies were sorted through and the ones left were scattered in type and limited so decided not to take one home. And it was overall a smaller, more crowded stand then I expected with limited variety. Im sure they have great cider donuts- but I would recommend getting here first thing in the morning. This seems to be one of the more popular stands and parking can become complicated. I will have to give it another try to see a true experience because I feel like I didn't get to gather the true festive experience here.

I was on my way to Sacramento and got a serious craving for a snack, so since I'd heard about the tamales in the Dixon area, I just had to pull over and grab a few. I tried the chile cheese one right there in the car, and it was pretty good! The cheese was definitely interesting, though--it didn't really melt, but it had a nice, solid bite to it. I'm guessing they use that kind so it doesn't get all messy, especially since they keep them nice and hot all day and have them all wrapped and labeled individually. They've got a bunch of handmade candies, and all the fruit and produce looks so fresh! You should definitely make a stop and check out the pickle section. Also, as for those Upper Crust mini baby pies--grab every flavor! I only picked up two and I'm honestly so sad about it! Enjoy and drive safe my friends!

They told me it was because they had to check to see if it had corn because it was such a late season for July. I truly believe that there's a better way of checking to see if there's corn on the cob other than tearing it open and drying it out maybe next year The young man on the phone said, just push it close the best you can and put them back in the refrigerator. Sad half of the ears didn't have much corn on them. If anything. I believe you could just feel the Cobb without tearing it open and you'll know if there's corn in it or not but thank you. I'm only 71 years old. I don't know anything about vegetables. Good luck.

Even though this is a cash only location which also provides two ATM machines inside, we can always find the needed necessities from fruit, to veggies, to flowers and you pick options. A pretty decent sized establishment, which is open every day of the week except on Wednesdays. They have a pretty decent sized parking lot and on the premises most of the time you'll find up to two food vendors. This time around I really enjoyed the flower picking option which you can get a very large bundle for five dollars then you can also visit outback of their establishment of the very large harvesting area of their crops. Lots of produce provided by lots of local vendors brought in by large bin loads.. This time, I also noticed that they have peanuts that you can pick from a bin inside as well. The best part of all is their pricing that is offered on their produce. Again, great location, surrounded by great wineries as well.

It really sucks when you get home and realize you waste money.

Theres sooo much hype about this place so we went to go try!!…read more Its in very rural davis-ish. Its like a plot of dirt then the lil stand. They have their famous pies as well as produce and some other stuff, but its a very small shop with like 4 tables outdoors. Def a stop on your way somewhere, not necessarily a destination. Their pie slices were like $8 a slice and a whole pie was $30. They also had many more options for whole pies vs pie slices, but its possible its because we went later in the day? They had some savory pies, cold pies, but mostly baked pies like peach, various berries, etc! They also have fruit freezes you can purchase too! We ended up sharing a banana cream pie and i got a peach pie too. The banana cream pie was HEFTY. It was HEAVY and PACKEDDDD. A LOT of cream a LOT of banana filling. Very yummy though and feeds a lot more people than you'd think. The peach pie was also very good! Im not a huge "cooked fruit" person and neither is mt family but we demolished the pie. The peaches were a surprisingly nice texture! And the crust was very good. $30 is a bit steep but if theyre using fresh fruits and baking them fresh its worth a stop if youre in the area!

The Davis location is much smaller than the original Auburn one as it looks more like a large indoor farmstand than a restaurant.

We drove 2 hours the weekend before her arrival to pick up a frozen one that we just need to defrost in the fridge overnight. But coming in at 2 lbs and only 3 days to eat it, had to freeze 1/3 of it so it will pass TSA and make it on her flight back East.

Grocery store strawberries are always a little gamble of is this sweet or will it be sour, and I'm generally okay with that as I love strawberries. But these? 100% guarantee to be the best strawberries you'll ever eat! We go early in the morning before it gets hot. It's pretty nice strolling down the lanes of strawberries and finding ripe ones. We got 10 lbs last trip and froze them so we can have them as long as possible. I feel like every time I go down to Sacramento, I'll be trying to figure out how to come down here. I really do love supporting this farm, it's run by a family that came from Thailand and they're really sweet! It's a true family own business, like you'll see the parents or daughter running the stand.

Famous for setting the gold standard of high-country orchard stops, this farm stand is equal parts cozy rustic nostalgia and absolute culinary magnetism. Hot Cider Donuts: You come here for hot apple cider doughnuts. Fried fresh to order, tossed in cinnamon sugar, and handed to you screaming hot. Pure indulgence. They feature a crisp, delicate outer crust gives way to pillowy, cider-rich interior. Pair one with a cup of their fresh-pressed, unfiltered spiced hot cider (or cold), and you have achieved peak autumn bliss. Fresh-Pressed Hot Cider: The ultimate dynamic duo pairing. This isn't just liquid sugar--it is punchy, pleasantly tart, and packed with warm, aromatic spices to balance out edge sweet treats. The Bakery Stand: Beyond the viral doughnuts, the bakery churns out massive deep-dish apple pies, berry tarts, and cider-insisted baked goods that rival any grandmother's secret recipe. Fresh Fruit and Produce: Crisp-estate grown apples, seasonal stone fruit, and a dedicated tasting tent serving up crisp hard ciders for the grown-ups crafted directly from their mountain orchards. The sweeping grassland backdrop and orchard views make it a prime spot to spread out a blanket and soak in the Sierra Foothill breeze. Lines for the doughnut shack build fast. Arrive and grab a box of a dozen (you will regret buying just six) and secure a spot before crowds swarm. Rainbow Orchards delivers an unbeatable, sweet-toothed sliced of farm country charm.

When people discuss quality grocery stores, Corti Brothers is often mentioned when it comes to the…read moreSacramento region. I don't know how I have lived in Sac for 25 years and have never been here. The store is filled with eye popping quality foods. Think of it as a smaller version of Whole Foods when it comes to food quality and prices. I noticed they had some top quality cuts of meats. The prices are quite high so I'll have to splurge some time on a nice steak. I did notice some items were pretty reasonably priced. For example, I was rather surprised to see they had a very large variety of Temple coffee beans for for $14.99 a bag. That's cheaper than I have seen elsewhere but I didn't pay close attention to the size since I was fully stocked on coffee at the moment. I had to try one of their legendary made to order sandwiches. Someone had recommended The Tuscany. Boy, was that delicious! And the sandwich was very large for $9.99, I couldn't finish it all in one sitting. There are tables outside so I purchased a bottle soda and a sandwich. Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead because there are no bottle openers available for customers to use so I was unable to enjoy my nice cold drink with my sandwich. I'll have to either bring my own bottle opener next time or choose a drink that is a screw top or flip opener.

I've always wanted to try their sandwiches because I've heard so many people rave about them! The…read morefirst sandwich I tried was the Corti Special on a Dutch Crunch roll, and the second time I also got the Corti Special, but on a sweet roll. The Corti Special is where they choose the types of meat that go into your sandwich. Their sandwiches are big enough for two people. I don't remember exactly what meats were in my first sandwich, but I definitely enjoyed that one more. The second time, the sweet roll got a little soggy for my liking, and I wasn't a big fan of the beef that was included. I am definitely a fan of their honey mustard, though! You can order your sandwiches online, or if you're ordering in-store, there's a slip you can fill out with your order. I waited about 20-30 minutes for my first sandwich, which wasn't too bad considering it was a busy weekend. The second time, I only waited about 5 minutes. They still have a great variety of meats, cheeses, and alcohol. It's a good place to stop by if you're looking to pick up some specialty grocery items along with a sandwich.
