You'll find Earth Seed Farm just outside Sebastopol, in the farm country of Sonoma County County, California. The setting is small-town, agricultural, and quiet, the sort of drive that feels like the trip is already part of the experience.
From Sebastopol center, 3175 Sullivan Rd is a short drive on county roads. Weekend traffic can back up near the entrance on peak fall Saturdays, arriving before 11 a.m. usually skips the wait.
Nearby you'll find the kind of scenery California does well in October, farm stands, rural churches, and roads lined with maples turning red. It's a solid half-day out even without leaving Sebastopol.

This Afro-Indigenous, women-led, certified organic farm stands out for its regenerative approach. The u-pick season runs from summer to fall, and they offer a wide variety of produce, including berries, stone fruit, and apples in the summer, as well as persimmons, Asian pears, and even pineapple guava during the fall. The farm invites guests to pick their own fruit and seasonal vegetables, and often hosts community events centered on food justice and education.
Earth Seed Farm shows up on our directory of California apple orchards because it's a real, working farm, not an aggregator or affiliate page. Details below reflect what the orchard and its local sources have shared publicly.
Earth Seed Farm sells pre-picked apples from the farm stand rather than offering U-Pick.
Apple season at Earth Seed Farm tracks the rest of California. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. The window most families aim for is the last two weeks of September into the first two of October, that's when Honeycrisp, Empire, and mid-season varieties usually overlap.
Weekend mornings between 9 a.m. and noon are the friendliest arrival window. If you can swing a weekday, Tuesday or Wednesday mornings are the quietest, some visitors report having entire rows to themselves.
