High Hill Ranch is the largest farm in the Apple Hill area, offering year round fun and games for the entire family. Although growing wonderful apples is their main activity, the ranch is also home to a restaurant and bakery which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and there are great activities for children to enjoy including a Pick-Your-Own Pumpkin Patch (for Halloween), trout fishing, pony rides and hay-wagon tours of the orchards. The ranch is a hive of activity during the summer harvest months (harvesting starts in mid August), hosting the Apple Hill Arts and Crafts Show (from August to December) and several other events. Do not leave without tasting their freshly-pressed cider and their legendary Apple Pie.
