Apple Hill Adventures

This past week, we went to Apple Hill for our preschool field trip. Apple Hill is made up of ranches in Placerville that open up to the public for apple picking, pumpkin picking, Christmas trees, lots of craft vendors, and goodies galore.

We went to High Hill Ranch and got a private tour. The day started out by pouring rain but by the time we all got there and ready to go, the rain stopped. It really worked out perfectly. We started with a hay ride. They took us around their apple orchard. Then on foot they showed us the huge freezer, where apples actually can stay good for up to three years. We saw where they sort apples, make apple juice and cider, store their pies, and peel and core apples for the pies. The girls got to feed ducks and then we got some apples and apple juice to sample. We ate lunch and then went shopping. We got apple donuts, apples, apple cider, and caramel apples. So delicious! We had a great time. Such a fun place and atmosphere!
