Is it ready yet?
Sutter’s Ridge Farm is CLOSED for season. We look forward to seeing you again fall of 2024.
Thanks to everyone who came out and picked apples this year. See ya again in fall of 2024. Check below for pricing and more info.
At Sutter’s Ridge, we have over 28 different apple varieties that ripen at different times thru the fall season. This gives us fresh ripe apples to pick from mid-August all the way into October. We even have Honey Crisp apple picking! That means if you visit us in late Aug, Sept or most of October, we will have fresh ripe apples ready to pick off the tree. Come and experience for yourself the delicious, juicy and amazingly lively taste of fresh picked apples. To enter the orchard you must pre-purchase an apple bag to fill with apples. We offer 3 different U-Pick apple bag sizes to purchase. Whether you like to pick a 5 pound bag every week or are looking to pick 20+ pounds for sauce, we will have you covered all season long.
The approx. ripening times for our apple varieties are also listed below, but just like people, apples ripen when they want to, not necessarily when we do ;)
