Rainbow Orchards blueberries available at Farmers Markets in Bay Area and Tahoe in mid June. Rainbow Orchards is proud to provide you with the highest quality mountain grown fruit available anywhere. Farming at 3500 feet gives us the cool mountain nights that really bring out the flavor. Our fruit is hand picked at the peak of ripeness and rushed to your local farmers market in our refrigerated truck. It’s a little bit of extra work for us, but the taste makes it all worthwhile. Have a sample and you’re sure to taste the mountain grown difference. Labor Day weekend through December, Apple Hill travelers are encouraged to visit the Rainbow Orchards Bake Shop and Apple Barn for some good food and great family fun. A large picnic area under the apple trees is perfect for an outdoor lunch. Rainbow Camino Ridge (3010 Snows Rd @ Fuji Court, Camino) open for You Pick Blueberries weekends mid June--mid July.

There’s nothing quite like a hot apple c***r donut at Rainbow Orchards!

Ever wonder what goes into making our famous apple c***r donuts? It starts with our very own fresh-pressed apple c***r, mixed right into the batter for that delicious apple flavor!

Each batch is fried fresh in palm oil, and the donuts are flipped by hand to achieve that perfect golden-brown finish. And when we say our crew has mastered the art of donut making, we mean it! One of our longtime employees can manage more than 90 donuts in the fryer at once! Now that's some serious donut-flipping talent!

Best of all? Our donuts are fried fresh when you order, so you can enjoy them hot, fresh, and oh-so-delicious!

Come watch the magic happen and treat yourself to an Apple Hill favorite!

Every apple has a place at Rainbow Orchards!

Before our apples make their way to you, they’re hand sorted right here at the orchard. Each apple is carefully looked over to determine where it will shine best.
The prettiest, highest-quality apples are set aside for you to take home and enjoy fresh. Apples that may not look quite perfect—but still taste delicious—can find a home in our fresh-baked goods or head to the press to become our Noth’n But Apples c***r.

It’s a hands-on process that helps us make the most of our harvest while making sure our customers get the very best apples we have to offer.

Picked. Sorted. Baked. Pressed. Enjoyed. That’s apple season at Rainbow Orchards!

At Rainbow Orchards, every part of the apple has a purpose!

When we prepare our apples, nothing good goes to waste. The beautiful slices are set aside for our fresh-baked apple treats, the smaller chunks are perfect for making our homemade apple butter, and even the peels and cores have another job to do.
Those scraps head to the compost bin, where they eventually make their way back to the orchard—helping enrich the soil that grows future apples.

From the orchard, to the kitchen, and right back to the orchard again. It’s a pretty sweet cycle!

The barn is stocked with pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, colors—and personalities! From tiny mini pumpkins and classic pie pumpkins to bumpy Warty Minions, wild-looking Knuckleheads, and traditional carving pumpkins, there’s one for every fall decorating (or baking!) plan.

Come wander through the barn, pick your favorites, and take a little piece of fall home with you.

As you wander the grounds at Rainbow Orchards, you’ll find more than apple trees, c***r and donuts. Be sure to take a look at the antique tractors tucked amongst the trees of the picnic grounds—a reminder of the equipment that helped now three generations of farmers work this land.

These old workhorses may have retired from their days in the fields, but today they add a little history and character to a visit to the farm—and make a pretty great photo stop, too!

Longtime Rainbow Orchards customers may notice something a little different about our Hard Apple C***r this season — we’ve added some bubbles!

Our original Hard Apple C***r was made in a traditional Basque-style — simply fermented apples with no added carbonation. It was a still c***r that let the apples take center stage, and it’s been part of the Rainbow story for years.

This season, we’ve put a new twist on that tradition by adding carbonation, giving our Hard Apple C***r the crisp, refreshing sparkle that many c***r drinkers have come to know and enjoy.

Same orchard roots. Same focus on the apples. Now with a little fizz!

Stop by and give this year’s version a try — we’d love to know what you think!

Ours start with fresh apples and caramel made completely from scratch, slowly stirred over our original cast iron stove. Getting that caramel to just the right consistency is an art — and one our very own Donut Queen, Christa Campbell, has mastered.

Every apple is hand-dipped by Christa herself. If you don’t see her at the window handing out orders and chatting with customers, chances are she’s back at that old black stove, stirring another batch of caramel to perfection.

It’s a little old-fashioned, a lot delicious, and one more tradition that makes Rainbow Orchards special.

Come grab one while you’re here — open daily, 9 AM–5 PM!

At Rainbow Orchards, it’s all about the batter!

Our chicken corn dogs and chicken & pork hot links are Apple Hill favorites, but what makes them extra special is the batter — and the story behind it.

The recipe goes all the way back to the 1970s and the fair, and was gifted to Rainbow Orchards by Norma Brubaker, a passionate early volunteer with the Apple Hill Growers Association who later became the organization’s first employee.

Decades later, we’re still using that special recipe and serving them up hot at Rainbow!

Come hungry and taste a little piece of Apple Hill history.
