Even though summer is coming to an end, the California warmth is here to stay for a while. But that doesn’t mean we can’t start getting excited for apple-picking season! Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Oak Glen, California, a popular autumn tradition is about to kick off once again. From Labor Day to Thanksgiving weekend, visitors of all ages are invited to experience apple season in this charming orchard-laden paradise.
Oak Glen will come alive with various activities that promise to make your visit memorable. The star of the show, of course, is apple picking. Stroll through the orchards, select your favorite apple varieties, and fill your baskets with the season's freshest and juiciest offerings. Whether you're a fan of the classic Red Delicious, the tart Granny Smith, or the sweet Fuji apples, you're in for a treat.
But apple picking is just the beginning. Feel the nostalgia of bygone times as you participate in traditional cider pressing. Roll up your sleeves, crank the press, and watch apples transform into golden liquid goodness. Don't forget to bring your camera – the fall foliage and charming rustic scenery provide the perfect backdrop for unforgettable fall photos.
The appeal of Oak Glen's apple season extends beyond fruit picking and cider pressing. Animal lovers will love petting and interacting with the friendly farm animals that call the orchards home. For those with a taste for shopping, the local shops and markets offer an array of handcrafted treasures. And let's not forget the true star of the culinary experience – the local treats. Indulge in freshly baked apple pies (our family's favorite!), apple cider donuts, and other mouthwatering delights.
As the temperature begins to dip (it's at least 10 degrees cooler in Oak Glen) and leaves start to turn, Oak Glen, CA, becomes a haven for those seeking the perfect autumn experience. From the sense of accomplishment you feel when picking your own apples to the joy of warm cider and tasty treats, every moment spent here reminds you of the beauty of the changing seasons.
