September 19, 2023 (Julian) – Julian Farm and Orchard is a winner in the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Award for Best Apple Orchard in the USA. The farm was nominated by an expert panel from the publication that includes editors and relevant contributors. The nominees were then voted on by the public and the farm placed among the top 10, representing the only location in California.
Julian Farm and Orchard was recognized for its vast apple orchard that boasts over 1,400 trees and covers a large portion of the 25-acre property. The panel also considered other factors including their activities and other Autumn offerings.
“We are so thrilled to receive this award from USA Today and to be recognized for our hard work. Apple Season is a cherished time in Julian, and we are proud to be a part of it,” said Eva Elmblad, General Manager at Julian Farm and Orchard.
The apple trees at Julian Farm and Orchard are visited by thousands of guests every year. Visitors are guided by one of the orchard’s knowledgeable farmers and are educated in the history of Julian apples and the numerous varieties available for U-Pick. These tours routinely sell out with waiting lists over 100 each and are among one of the most popular offerings in Julian.
Julian Farm and Orchard is a sustainable farm and offers a variety of agritourism and school field trip programs throughout the year from daffodils in the spring, Revolution in the Orchard in April, U-Pick Strawberries and Raspberries into June, July and August, Apple Picking in September and our famous Pumpkin Patch in September and October. For November and December, we are planning something new: a sustainable Ice-Skating Rink with Holidays on the Farm.
