Enjoy sipping on a refreshing cold glass of hard cider while picking apples out at Calico Ranch!

Calico Ranch Orchard & Cidery is a USDA certified organic apple, pear, and hard cidery located just outside of Julian. The Young family has owned the 30-acre orchard for over 20 years and the farm has remained in production since it was first planted in the early 1930s, making it one of the oldest remaining farms in Julian.

Beginning September 12th, the apple harvest at Calico is officially open! U-pick hours are Saturdays and Sundays from 11 am - sunset. 1/4 peck bags (approximately 7-8 lbs of USDA apples) are $10 per bag.  The ranch has reported a much lighter crop this year and may have enough apples to get through 2 weekends.  Make sure to check for updates on Calico Cidery Instagram or Calico Ranch Facebook.

All visitors are asked to wear a mask when not seated.  Cash is encouraged to ensure faster lines.
