Chileno Valley Ranch

General information

We are closed for the 2016 u-pick season, which ended on Sept. 11. Opening and closing dates are subject to change each year, based on climate, the size of the apple crop, and other factors out of our control, so please check this page or our website for updates.

Located just outside Petaluma and just over the Marin County line, this is the perfect place for a family outing. Farm tours are given throughout the day, and sometimes you can feed the baby animals. We're often pressing fresh apple juice right from the orchards, and we often have other farm products available as well.

Please note (2016 prices):
-Apples and pears are $2/lb
-Admission is $6/carload if a reservation is made for a specific entry time on our website; $10 otherwise
-We accept cash, local checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover
-Please park in our lot, not along the road, which is a safety hazard
-Please bring bags to take into the orchard and a cooler for any other purchases
-No dogs

Chileno Valley Ranch also sells whole, half and quarter beef, and whole or half lambs. We sell only directly to families, not through a middleman. A quarter cow is about the size of 4 paper grocery bags and includes a variety of cuts. This beef is very, very lean because we only feed on grass, no corn or other fillers. The animals are humanely raised and spend their whole lives on the ranch. Please contact us directly about meat purchase.

Curious about our farmhouse? It was originally built in the 1880s, and Sally and Mike rebuilt it in the 1990s, recycling the wood right back into the new project.
