24Carrot Farm

This place is the new hidden gem in Apple Hill. We went on our annual family apple picking adventure. They were very nice and provided baskets. While picking we were told by other guests to place the basket under a branch and shake the tree, and the ripe ones will fall in the basket. We also had a very nice picnic after picking. I only wish we lived next door to this ranch since this is a cool place.

One of the newer farm stands in the Apple Hill area. Ben and Kevin have taken over the farming operation at the former Willow Pond Organic Farm producing organic greens, heirloom tomatoes, squash, melons, and apples, of course. These two energetic and super friendly guys will greet you at the stand and happy to share their enthusiasm about their venture. It’s great to see this stand open again.
Fabulous local raw honey available and displayed in front of an active hive. Watch the bees at work and find the queen (the bee with the white spot). Currently offering local roast Totem coffee out of Placerville.
Walk the farming area and see what they do. Stroll the apple orchard or have a picnic at the tables by the pond.
Take the Point View Dr exit when heading up the hill and stay on Jacquier (‘jakeway’) just passed the El Dorado Trail parking area on the right. When done, head straight up Jacquier to Carson Rd to more of Apple Hill.
I love what these two guys are doing!

Such a cute little outdoor market with fresh organic fruits and veggies. Also fresh honey from their honey bees!
