Pruning in the Winter

A nice twist on a favorite Fall adventure! Call us today to sign

up for our Spring Home School Day on May 15, 2014. Home

School Day is a chance for small groups to experience a 4 hour

farm tour -- without having to meet a group minimum size!

You can sign up for just one person, or bring your home school

group. The cost is $10 per adult and $15 per child.

The activities are historical, educational, hands-on, and just

plain FUN! We'll be doing Corn Husk Dolls, Frontier Cabin

adventure (newly expanded!), Rope Making (with a drawing to

see who gets to take the rope home), Gold Panning, Hayride,

and Archery. The tour runs from 10am to 2pm, with a lunch

break in the middle. Your day begins with an interactive

musical introduction, where you & your child can help play

the instruments and sing along with Pa Riley!

We will have Sharon's Country Store open all day for your

shopping pleasure. Spend a wonderful day with us in scenic

& charming Oak Glen! Call 909-797-4061 to sign up.

Howdy, everybody! We have reached the end of yet another fun-

filled Apple Season! We are currently closed for the winter and

will be spending our time working on pruning the apple trees

to get them ready for 2014. The next time we will be open will

be for Spring tours in May & June. We are now booking Spring

& Fall farm tours for groups of 20 or more people. See our

School Tours page for more info or call us at (909) 797- 4061.

It's always a great idea to book your 2014 tour now, to

ensure you get the date you want. It's also fine to wait, but keep

in mind: if you want an October date and you call in September,

the date you want might already be taken.

Thank you to all of our wonderful customers who visited the farm

to shop, to pick fruit, to go on a field trip or farm tour, and to

participate in farm activities. We enjoyed your company and hope

that we will see you again in 2014!

Our final weekend for 2013 was on Thanksgiving Weekend, when

the entire glen held its annual Apple Butter Festival. We are very

excited to announce that we won first place in the business division of Oak Glen's apple butter contest! Thank you to all those who helped us make the winning batch!

We were happy to see Carissa (former winner of our corn husk

doll making contest during Apple Butter Festival,) and we

thank her and her family for coming every year. She brought her

sister, Sophia, and they helped us stir the winning pot of apple

butter! Here is a picture of them:

We also found the first picture we ever took of them after our

Corn Husk Doll making contest; aren't they cute?

Riley's Apple Farm is the original "Riley's" in Oak Glen! We are set on a cozy 3 acres in mile-high Oak Glen - California's own "Apple Country." We are not "Riley's Farm;" that is a completely separate business. Look for the red apple cutout that sits on top of our "Riley's Apple Farm" sign!

We are a u-pick apple, berry, & pumpkin farm. U-pick is available only when fruit is in season (mid-July for raspberries & blackberries / late July to early August for apples / mid to late September for pumpkins.) End dates for u-pick vary depending on crop size, weather variations, and how many people come & how much they pick! Berries usually last until the first frost of the year, which can happen anywhere from late September to early October. Apple u-pick can end anywhere from early October to late November. It's always a good idea to come apple picking in September to make sure you get to do it!

We do Fall & Spring farm tours for schools, churches, scout troops, seniors, and other groups. We let you design your own tour by choosing from our wide variety of activities, including Frontier Cabin Adventure, Gold Panning, Hayride, Apple Cider Pressing, Archery, Kazoo Making, Rope Making, Corn Husk Doll Making, Corn Grinding, & Johnny Cake Baking (in a wood-burning oven!)
