It always shocks me how I'm a transplant to California yet seem to be one of the only people that understands Apple Hill is open year-round.
Obviously it's THE place to go in the fall and around the holidays for apples and Christmas trees. But there are so many other fun things to do there no matter what time of year it is, and I think it's really important that you know what's open so you can support these local businesses year-round too!
