Before you go

A short checklist so the trip feels easy — especially helpful for first-time u-pick visits in California.

  • Bring closed-toe shoes, sun protection, water, and containers unless the farm supplies them.
  • Call or check the website for today’s picking conditions — mud, rain, and sold-out fields are common.
  • Arrive earlier in the day for cooler weather and better selection during peak weekends.
  • Cash still helps at smaller stands even when cards are accepted.

“Had an excellent time apple picking! We’ve never done the whole “pick your own” thing before but the farm has a super straight forward process. Due to covid you can’t currently bring your own bags/containers (it doesn’t mention this on the website) but they provide one bag for free and have additional bags available. One bag can fit up to 20 pounds of apples so it’s a good size for most needs. When we came they had red delicious, golden delicious, Fuji, and Newtown pippin apples. There were tons of rows of trees with plenty of healthy apples to choose from. The checkout process was also pretty painless and the price per pound was very affordable for fresh apples! I would definitely recommend coming here early if you can, as parking fills up fast!”

“This was my first time apple picking. I quickly learned I don't know how to identify apples. The staff is really friendly and helpful. They will tell you exactly where to find the apples you are looking for. Wear a hat or bring some sunscreen. The apple picking went by so quickly. We spent most of our time in line to check out. If I went again I would probably bring a bag that rolled so I didn't have to hold onto 20 lbs of apples in line for 30 mins. If you don't want to pick your own apples but want them fresh the gift shop sells them. The gift shop also had local honey and other jarred goods. The pie is fantastic and a must try! The antique shop was fun to wander around in.”

“Great activity! The trees were short enough for our four year old and 18 month old to reach without assistance. We easily filled a whole bag (about $30 worth). If I was doing the math as we went, we'd possibly try to stop halfway through the bag, but the kids were having so much fun. We went on a Thursday afternoon around 2:30 and it wasn't crowded at all.”

“We took the kids apple picking, then went home and made apple pies! Gizdich Farms was the perfect place to bring the whole family for this adventure. Everyone loved picking the apples, watching the tractors, and playing in the play area. The apples (and pies) were delicious! We hope to make this a family tradition.”

“Great experience, the family had such a good time!! Apples we picked were only $2.50 a pound which is cheaper than our local market! Was a lot of fun to pick the apples ourselves and try them along the way!”
