U-Pick Opens at Volcan Valley Apple Farm
Bring the kids, bring the dog, and let’s pick apples! The Volcan Valley Apple Farm, Julian's largest aU-Pick apple orchard, announces the opening of the 2017 U-Pick harvest season. Located north of the historic gold mining town of Julian, Volcan Valley Apple Farm covers the countryside with 7300 apple trees offering seven varieties: Gravenstein, Gala, Jonathans, Empire, Fuji, Pippin, and Golden Delicious. This year the apples are bigger and more plentiful than ever due to the return of heavy winter rain, lots of summer sunshine, and plenty of TLC by the VVAF crew.
During the harvest (approx. eight weeks) the Volcan Valley Apple Farm will be open to the public Friday through Monday 9 am to 5 pm. Last year over 30,000 people visited the farm. Admission is $1 (kids 5 and under free). U-Pick bags are $12 and includes one admission.
