About This Farm
Apple-A-Day at Ratzlaff Ranch at Sebastopol grows Gravenstein, the apple Sonoma County was famous for before the vineyards took the ground, and it keeps the strangest week of any farm here: closed Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, all year.
What You Can Pick
Apples in mid-September and October: Gravenstein, Golden Delicious and Rome. The ranch also grows pears.
Good to Know
Open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, 9am to 4pm. Closed Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. If you work a normal week, this farm is essentially shut to you, and that is worth knowing before planning around it.
U-pick is currently closed and runs mid-September into October.
Pro tip: Gravenstein is the reason to come. It is a short-season apple that bruises easily and does not keep, so it has almost vanished from shops, and Sebastopol is where it has always grown best.
