Fruits & Veggies in Placerville, CA

“I was passing through the area in March and saw all of the wonderful enticing signs along the way and finally succumbed and decided to pop in.The shop where their pies are sold is approximately a mile in off of the main road, but it's such a lovely country drive with signs all along the way to keep you from guessing and some even made me giggle. And I didn't mind the drive because I really wasn't in a hurry to get anywhere on that day.When I finally arrived I felt super blessed because I was the only one there, and apparently that's not the norm. I was greeted and helped by one of the owners, whose wife makes the pies. We had a lovely conversation, and he was extremely pleasant and very kind.I had been craving a good berry pie for quite some time, which is what drew me in. I ended up purchasing a blackberry/raspberry pie. OMGOODNESS! Pie baker is not just a baker, but a culinary artist! I am 65 years old, and I can honestly say, without a doubt, that this was the best pie that I have ever eaten. Divinely delicious! The crust was the perfect thickness and the perfect texture and the berry filling was abundant, firm and sweet, but not too sweet. The pie was absolute perfection!Honestly, it's a good thing that I don't live so close because I would probably have to get one more then I should. ? I regret not taking the time to take photos because the pie was not only delightful to eat, it was also beautifully presented.”

“Great place to get your Apple Hill experience year round. They always have apples, produce, specialty foods, local wine, cider, and baked goods. Love to stop here on my way up the hill to South Lake Tahoe. Down side is they are truly a roadside stop and they don't have the natural beauty of some of the seasonal Apple Hill attractions.”

“A fantastic local farm with great produce. I love the micro greens and selection of hard to find items. Quality is fantastic and prices are reasonable. Their very fresh picked cold greens are amazing as well as their heirloom tomatoes. Don't forget to grab a loaf of fresh baked bread delivered daily from Auburn Bakery that will make your mouth water with a bit of olive oil and frsh garlic (they sell these wonderful garlic braids there also)+”

“I love their cold foods and absolutely love their hot foods. I get so sad in the mornings because i always tend to miss. Their hot foods. I wish they had more space for more veggie varieties but for the limited space they have I'm not complaining. The workers are always so kind, welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. I greatly appreciate their wide variety of herbs, supplements and holistic items too!”

“I've been going to Apple Hill for 30+ years. There are bake shops, crafters, fresh fruits and vegetables, food, wineries and so much more. The atmosphere is refreshing, fun, happy, exciting and peaceful. The Fall/Winter time is the busiest time of the year. Some places are closed during the Spring and Summer, but the ones that are open offer lots of summer fruits and you'll always find great Apple pie and other fruit pies. Apple Hill is an amazing beautiful experience. You definitely will be taking a lot of pictures.”

“Flavor King Pluots and Organic Kelsey Plums are sweet and juicy!Other special fruit varieties included Elegant Lady Peaches, Summer Lady Peaches, and Red Gold Nectarines. Peaches were huge. I had already loved and bought Elegant Lady Peaches from another farm that day, so I decided not to sample them here. I should have though!The adorable salesperson, Emma, allowed me to sample fruits and take her picture.All sales are done outside the building, which looked like a packing plant inside. Customers aren't allowed inside the building.Apparently, Ronald Reagan used to get fruit from this farm.Closing time is 5 pm. I went near closing, so there wasn't much fruit left, but what was left were all yummy, fresh, and high quality special varieties.”
