Best Time to Visit

Apple season at Far Cider tracks the rest of California. Most fruit ripens between late August and late October. If you can only make one trip, late September through early October gives you the best odds of finding both early and mid-season apples on the trees at the same time.

Peak-weekend crowds cluster around lunchtime, so either come early (before 10 a.m.) or late (after 3 p.m.) to skip the busiest hour. Weekdays are the most relaxed by a wide margin.
