Welcome to Apples and Art Orchards U-Pick Apple Orchard in Julian, California
APPLE UPDATE: 05/15/2025
It looks to be a great apple, Asian pear, and grape year. The weather and the bees cooperated and we have a lot of fruit on the trees. We will be taking appointments starting Saturday, Sept. 6, 2025.
This year we will be open to schedule a group that picks 20 or more bags every day of the week at 2pm or later. The whole apple and Asian pear picking experience will last about 2 hours. Your group must have an appointment. In addition to taking home your apples, you get apple facts, a tour of the orchard, and your own free apple cider making and tasting experience.
We are a U-Pick apple orchard where for only $15 you can pick a "half peck of apples" (and Asian pears if available) which is about 5 pounds and spend a fabulous afternoon in our beautiful mountain orchard and charming gold-rush era town - Julian, California. The apples are not perfect like store apples, our apples are pesticide free and all natural - they have never been sprayed. Our soil has not been contaminated with pesticides or weed killers either.
A deposit of $75 is required up front to hold the reservation two weeks before the date.
