Apple Hill Is Open!!
By djsheryl on September 4, 2021
Have you been craving some fresh-baked apple pie or freshly pressed cider? Great news…..Apple Hill is open this weekend!
With the Caldor Fire wreaking havoc the last few weeks, many popular tourist attractions and iconic landmarks have been closed, but earlier this week, the Apple Hill Growers released this good news: “We are happy to report that none of our growers sustained any damage and in fact, fire crews were able to hold the fire line well to the south of Apple Hill. We are grateful to all our fire crews who worked so hard to keep us safe.”
Many Apple Hill Grower farms are outside of the evacuation zones and remain open. To check out a list of planned activities and get more information, click here!
