    This place was beautiful and super cute. It was an intimate orchard. There weren't too many people here and we were able to walk around wherever we wanted. While there weren't many apples and we ended up not picking any we walked around and looked at the animals

    Great apple picking experience for my family and I. I went ahead and booked a reservation online for opening U-pick weekend. Check in was easy. Just show your email and they'll issue you your bag. You walk straight in on the left. Tip: walk through and towards the back there's more apple trees scattered throughout. Also near the exit a lot of people skip that area because they're leaving and bags are already full. Also remember to twist and not yank. (This lady who worked there was yelling at some other party for yanking. She also advised to only pick the lower apples. However, all the red ones were up higher.

    OMG !! Stayman winesap apples are now my favorite apples .. I don't like apple juice but juice made with this apples were really good . Tasted like it's some type of apple cider . Pets on leash are welcomed here , and kids too lol!! Take cash or credit cards. parking is on the side of the road . Driving here you will also pass by other upick orchards . Reserve your time slot on line on their website and walk right up to the reservation section. Beats waiting in a long line like the rest of the people . One group need to purchase $20 bag of u pick apples , can buy additional bags for $20 inside if others in the group wants their on bag of apples. We purchased 3 small bowls of meatballs and 5 cups of apple juice ( only filled half way lol ) and my daughter bought a small bottle of ginger honey $10 , the total $49 what?!!!! Steep price for what we received.

    *** POSSIBLY CREDIT CARDS ONLY *** Last weekend (10/2/2021 & 10/3/2021) marked the beginning of 2021 apple picking season for Willowbrook Apple Farm and I wasn't about to miss out after a year-long pandemic lockdown. The city of Oak Glen (located approximately 80 miles away from downtown LA or 1.5 hour drive without any traffic) is known for U-Pick apples and I decided to pick this particular one after doing some Yelp search. [Parking]: Free street parking, but there's no private parking lot in this part of the town. I highly recommend to park the 1st available spot you see once you are close enough to the farm because it is not easy to do a parallel parking on a crowded & small two-lane country road. [Season]: Check the website (or follow Facebook/Instagram/Twitter) for the exact opening dates because each farm in this area has a different opening weekend for U-Pick apples. Last year Willowbrook launched a reservation system for apple picking (a reserved time-slot by pre-purchasing one bag of apples for their group & no time limit once you are in the farm - available on the Tuesday before the opening weekend of apple picking season and reservation is not available outside of the opening weekend.) Please note that reservation is NOT REQUIRED and the farm ALWAYS welcome walk-in. The U-Pick apples will open until the farm runs out of apples (check their website or Instagram page for U-Pick apple status - in 2021 U-Pick apple only lasted two weekends) and you can still visit the farm to see the animal farm/general store, enjoy U-press apple cider, and attend wine tasting/s'mores events even after they are out of apples (the farm typically opens until the weekend before Halloween). The farm opens from 10 AM to 4 PM (Saturday & Sunday only) and you can also sign up their Wine Tasting and S'mores events from 4 PM to 6 PM (see their event page on their website for more details.) [Price]: For walk-in U-Pick apples, the farm charges $20 per bag (NOT by per person), so you can have a family of four doing U-Pick apples with just one bag. Each bag holds approximately 3 to 5 lb and you are able to carry out as much apples as you can as long as the bag holds up. Initially I tried to pay with cash, but the staff said cards only. There's a wash station at the front entrance to clean raw apples so that you can eat them immediately afterward! Dog-friendly farm (must be on leash.) [Activities]: You get to see their tiny animal farm and animals like Comet (mini-horse), Star (mini-donkey), Delilah (mini-pig), Chickadoo (hen), etc. Their Stayman-Winesap apples trees were planted in 1910 so be gentle when picking these apples! They also have u-press apple cider (I believe $25/gallon), but the line was quite long so I just didn't bother. All employees had their masks on even though San Bernardo county doesn't have a mask mandate rule for employees, but please note that all guests are not required to have their masks on. [Miscellaneous notes]: I have T-mobile and had no cellular reception while I was in the farm. Wi-Fi is not available for visitors. I was able to walk-in at 1:15 PM and walk out at 2 PM. I also saw several visitors using wooden sticks and ladders to pick those high-hanging apples. Overall it was a pretty enjoyable experience and I wouldn't mind coming back here again despite some of small hiccups like no Wi-Fi for guests, unable to accept cash, long waiting line for U-press cider, and potentially difficult parking situation. Big thumbs up on friendly staff, all employees had masks on, and a cute animal farm! P.S. - Twist and don't yank these apples!

    It's our first time going to the picking season. This place has no apples that are ready to pick up yet as of 8/31/19. But they have plenty of sweet blackberries and raspberries. We did the apple cider press which the 4 kiddos took turn to press and put the apples in. Cider was yummy, meatballs on the sticks was yumm too. Will definitely come back for the experience.

    Willowbrook Apple Farm is a cute little farm that offered pressed cider, assorted fruit preserves and jams, barbecue sauces, trinkets and cute child friendly toys. My husband, our little girl dog and I made our first stop to this farm after we found (free) parking on Oak Glen Road. This was also our first farm of the day as well. This farm is close by Riley's Apple Farm (where we had intended to go for apple picking). We saw a sign that said cider samples and so we decided to walk over. The employee at the table was very friendly and greeted us. He then asked if we would like a sample of any of the jams and also of the cider. After trying the blackberry preserve, I just knew I wanted a jar to buy to take home. Also the fact that they currently had a special buy 2 jars, get 1 free sale going on, I just knew we had to buy some. The barbecue sauces were also buy 2, get 1 free and most items in the small store was 25% off. Next we tried the cider. This is an unfiltered version with no added sugar. I was surprised at how sweet it was and thought it was really good. But it cost $20 per gallon bottle (currently the only size they carry now, according to the employee). If you are interested, you get to press your own cider, choosing from a metal tub of apples that is bobbing in water. Afterwards, inside the store, I ended up buying: Blackberry Preserve, $5.75- the simple I had was full of flavor and sweet. Definitely will make for a mean PB and J sandwich (or a filling for a cookie). I don't normally like blackberries because they are so tart but in this preserve (because of the sugar and I am sure freshly grown and picked when it is most ripe helps), I loved it. The flavor is just so rich and can't wait to open the jar that I bought. Raspberry Jalapeno Jam, $5.90- my husband had tried a sample and liked the 2 flavors together. Being a non spicy eater, I didn't try any. My husband said there is a little heat there but nothing too bad and doesn't linger. Apple Butter. $5- this is going to be a gift for a family friend. I am not a big fan of apple butter so I didn't ask for a sample. But I wanted to give our family friend a gift that was apple related since she knew we were going apple picking today. ------------------- (Total= $11.65, tax included and after sale) Friendly service and delicious products. I glad we ended up checking out this farm. If this farm had sold smaller sized cider, I would have bought a bottle. But at 1 gallon, I just felt it would be too much for us to drink. But the employee who gave us a sample did say it does freeze well. But being that this was the 1st farm visit of the afternoon, we didn't want to lug it around with us all day. Although normally this farm has a U pick apple feature, they have concluded for the season. Typically the apple picking season ends at the end of October. But since some farms were fortune with their crops this year, this ended up being the last weekend for apple picking (through Monday, Nov 12). Cute farm and would have been nice to check them out during their apple picking season. But will look forward to visiting them again for the next apple picking season.

    We met our friends at Willowbrook Apple Farm. Cute little farm, very CoVID friendly. All staff and patrons were wearing masks. Ample space for social distancing. There were not many apples left but we each got to fill one bag ($20/each), press our own cider ($25/gallon), pet their animals, and take cute pictures. They have a tent selling barbecue food options, small selection of pumpkins as well, and a hard cider tasting with s'mores from 4-6pm. They usually serve caramel apples but had ran out today around 1:45pm. Meatballs were still available. The staff was outstanding and very welcoming. Kathy in the shop, Michael and Alex with cider pressing. Alex was so friendly, patient, and encouraging toward our 3 year old, and let her help with each aspect of the cider pressing. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. We also did some shopping in their little shop and picked up caramel, honey, and apple butter. Super fun family day and would definitely come back!

    What an adorable farm :) The farm was decorated beautifully, and you'll definitely get your seasonal fall fix. Parking was pretty easy and it wasn't crowded at all when we went, maybe we just got lucky! It seems very family oriented, but makes for a cute date also. The people working there were extremely knowledgeable and sweet. The owner of the farm greeted people at the entrance. There were all sorts of activities and booths: s'mores making, rag dolls, pumpkin picking, apple picking (of course), etc. Also a small stand of lots of locally made goods (apple butter, pumpkin butter, etc.) Yes, you're paying a premium but you're paying for the lovely experience and supporting a family-owned farm. Only one type of apple when we went but this variety of apple is apparently only available at this farm! We picked a bag of 8-9 teeny apples (paid about $5) and picked up an apple-berry cider ($4.25) and jar of pumpkin butter ($11). But at the end of the day, it's a couple extra dollars, come on people.

    Super dog friendly!

    The apples were pretty picked out due to a bad crop this year, which is unfortunate, but we went to the very nice bonfire wine tasting/s'mores evening event and pressed our own cider. The staff/family that runs the farm is so nice! We had gone to a different farm earlier in the day up the road and it was so commercial and busy with huge lines, but coming here was such a nice change. It's family owned, family run, and so lovely. I like how dog friendly it is here. Make no mistake, this is a small farm especially compared to the huge ones up the road, so understand that before you go or you'll be disappointed. I'd recommend starting your day at one of the huge farms and ending here. I recommend their bonfire wine tasting events, which no other farm in the area does. There was a food truck this year too!

All of the staff stay fully in character the entire time, and their costumes are beautifully made and very detailed. It really adds to the whole experience. The farm itself isn't your typical farm,it's more of a historical village with different stations set up to demonstrate things like candle making, crocheting from that time period, how the judicial system worked, and even the types of games people used to play. One of the highlights was the Revolutionary War reenactment at the end, where the kids actually got to participate as soldiers. It was such a cool experience and also really educational at the same time. I went as part of a school group, but you could definitely visit on your own and still have a great time. The food was good, but the baked goods were the real standout -- fresh breads, pies, cookies, homemade ice cream, shakes... everything tasted amazing. I also liked that you can order ahead online and just pick up when you get there.

Riley's is a place I look forward to coming back to especially in the fall. If I lived closer I'd be here much more often! Definitely check this place out, especially if you have family with kids, ours loves the little seedling ranch!

    My wife and I had a fun time here apple picking that we decided to bring our kid for his first…read moreexperience. The staff informed us that depending on what apples we want to pick, we would need to head to different parts of the farm and the price would vary. We went towards the pink ladies because I'm a huge fan. We got 2 bags and began slowly twisting the apples off the trees. Our son had a great time that he quickly filled up 2 bags and we ended up spending about $30 on all the apples. We saw they still had some pumpkins, a field for chestnuts, and fields for other types of apples. We may be back to pick other fruits when they are in season. We decided to take a break and there were a couple of stalls to purchase merchandise, snacks, and food. We tried some fresh kettle corn which was hot and popped to perfection. There was so much to see and do at the farm, such as corn maze, petting zoo, and being able to pick a bucket of apples to press your own cider! We lined up at the farm kitchen for lunch for some bbq. While waiting for 45 minutes, I could see them grilling the meats and it looked delicious. I ordered tri-tip sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, some ribs, apple slaw, and some cowboy beans. They gave us the bbq sauce on the side to put as much as we want on the meats. The meats were salty, which was disappointing, and the tri-tip was slightly tough. The ribs weren't fall of the bones, but perhaps I was expecting too much. After putting the bbq sauce on the meats, it did balance out the saltiness. The cowboy beans were ok and the apple slaw was my favorite. It had a good balance of sweet from the apples they grow and the vinegar taste that was mixed in with the other ingredients. Before we left the farm, I had to buy a small bottle of cold apple cider and a sugar free apple pie. The apple cider was definitely refreshing on a hot day and it wasn't too sweet! We arrived shortly after the farm opened up on a Saturday and was able to find a spot in the parking lot that was almost full. I read that the parking lots open up about an hour before the farm is open, so my advice is to get there early. Otherwise, you'll probably get directed to another parking lot and require some walking. The farm was clean and all the staff we interacted with were friendly.

    I visited this country store after apple picking since my friends and I were craving apple cider…read moreand my experience here was pretty good. The apple cider was good, but I would've preferred it to be colder and not served in a Styrofoam cup. I'm assuming that's because it was the end of the day and it looked like they were running out of apple cider and other materials. I also got the apple cider popsicle for $2 which was a good deal. It was good, but I didn't like how the juice separated from the water during the freezing so it tasted like regular ice by the time I got to the core of the popsicle. For food, I tried their Strawberry Banana Sweet Bread and that was my favorite thing! It was not too sweet and moist. It was $6.50, but not too bad for a whole loaf. The interior was fun and rustic. There are several things to shop for from different baked goods to nic nacs. The service here was pretty good and the staff seemed nice and personable. There's some parking out front as well as some picnic benches and tables with nice views of the mountains and foliage while you enjoy your treats. Overall, a good stop for some casual shopping and to enjoy a sweet treat if you're ever in the Oak Glen area.

    I have been getting my apple fix since I can remember from this local spot. I moved away to Hawai'i…read moreand missed the apples so much. I took a trip up to get my fix. The staff was so nice and friendly made me miss home. The. Christmas jam was delicious and now my favorite. I was worried they weren't going to have winesap apples since it wasn't apple season but I was so happy they had them. I was able to bring back a bag to Hawai'i with me in my carry one. If you like varieties of apples this is the place to go to. They give you slices to try and it's so hard to pick which one because they all taste so good. Mahalo and A Hui Hou.

    This is my third time coming to 123 Farms for their Lavender Festival! I've come twice before for…read moretheir preseason events and then post season, after their lavender has bloomed. I think I'd much prefer not paying for parking or for admission! I'm writing this review after attending their Mother's Day weekend preseason festivities. Parking is paid for alongside your admission ticket. It was free on Mother's Day as long as you paid for parking. It wasn't room bad, but the gravel and dirt road isn't friendly, so beware. There are plenty of things to do while at the farm. They have plenty of food and fun things for the lavender festival. The Farm itself has a hotel, sourdough area, perfume class, a matcha room, and two bars you can sit and drink in. I'm giving it the stars that I am because I'm not a fan of their food. Their drinks here are decent, but I feel as though the workers here are burnt out. It's definitely packed on every corner with a lot of people. Even when taking photos with the lavender, it's busy and a bit overwhelming. It is a lovely concept overall, and a nice experience away from the busy city.

    What a cool place…read more We got to experience the Sourdough Festival this past weekend. They had stamps and a passport card that allowed you visit each Sourdough station. We also got to explore the grounds and found some cool shops and the place called The Courtyard. Also got some yummy matcha in the Matcha room. A fun spot for families and kiddos to run around and explore. It's giving Bridgerton vibes.Definitley will be back soon for future events!
