We are the original Riley's in Oak Glen!

Remembering that tall hat?

It's called the straw "Planter's Hat" or "Farmer's Hat. Common among rural farmers in the 19th century the straw would offer breathe-ability, the wide brim provided shade and the tall crown let the heat off of the head like a chimney would a fire.

U-pick at its finest!

Remember where to go for all your wood and furniture needs - THE SAWMILL - right here at Riley's Apple Farm! Planks, boards, apple wood for smoking meats, custom furniture, etc. Native wood - plenty of varieties.

~WELCOME~

Riley's Apple Farm is the Original "Riley's" in Oak Glen.

We are set on a cozy three acres in mile-high Oak Glen - California's "Apple Country". You will find us easily on Oak Glen Road nestled behind Willowbrook Farm and

Stone Soup Farm; with our distinct roadside sign, you won't miss us!

This season, Ma and Pa Riley are enjoying the fruits of their labor

by entering into a cooperative with their youngest seedling, Tim Riley and his wife, Faith of Stone Soup Farm. This will allow Ma and Pa to enjoy the farm and guests, without the demands of labor. Guests will enjoy the benefit and ease of seasonal picking at both farms, a variety of activities and the charms of our family traditions.

As in the decades before, we look forward to seeing your family, hearing the laughter of your children and delighting with you as you come to enjoy the farms and enrich your family with our traditions of the past.
