Organic Apple Picking at Bailey Creek Ranch
For the next several weeks, Bailey Creek Ranch is opening its private organic orchard for a limited fall apple-picking experience.
Set among the mountains of Julian, the orchard is home to more than 4,000 apple trees and 16 unique varieties. Guests are invited to wander through the orchard, pick crisp organic apples straight from the trees, and enjoy the beauty of the ranch at their own pace.
This is apple picking the Bailey Creek way — private, peaceful and intentionally uncrowded.
The Orchard
The apple orchard is one of the most special parts of Bailey Creek Ranch.
Thousands of established trees stretch across the property, creating a beautiful setting to experience Julian's fall harvest firsthand. Throughout the season, different varieties ripen at different times, giving guests the opportunity to discover and pick apples directly from the trees.
We continue to care for the orchard organically and are excited to open it for a limited time each fall so families, friends and groups can experience this unique part of the ranch.
Rather than a traditional crowded U-Pick farm, visits to Bailey Creek Ranch are by reservation, allowing guests more space and time to enjoy the orchard and mountain setting.
Private Orchard Experience
Your reservation includes:
Entry is $5 per person
$20 per apple-picking bag
Each bag holds approximately 6 lbs. of apples
