Fruit Picking Farms
n/a
Tucked in a spectacular valley outside Petaluma, Ranchers Mike and Sally Gale raise grass-fed beef, offer u-pick apple picking in the fall, and host a small number of farm weddings and corporate events each year.
Enjoy a day of family apple picking in our orchard with organically grown varieties such as Orin, Pinova, Candy Crisp, and Jonagold. We are open for u-pick on Sundays only, during August, September and sometimes October.”

Key Insights:
  • They have smaller scale Rose Garden, I was a little disappointed the fountain was not running but with California's drought I can understand.
  • The apples were very affordable but because of California's weather conditions a lot of them were bruised and infested with yellow jackets.
  • Sally was very concerned and helpful with my 92 year old grandmother in the 100+F heat.. Our family visited today (October 2013) and had a nice time.
  • This is an old school machine, where turning a crank spins a number of toothed gears that grind up the apples into little pieces.
  • The main negatives are (1) there isn't a ton of shade here, and (2) quite a lot of the ground is covered with cow patties.
