🚙 PARKING UPDATE: We’re going
into our busy season and have a quick reminder about parking etiquette at our farms.

👎🏼Please don’t park at one farm and walk to another. That deprives other visitors who want to visit the farm you parked at and creates a knockdown effect. If you can’t find parking at one farm, consider visiting another farm in the interim and coming back to the farm in question later that day.

🚫NO parking on the road! You’ve probably noticed our country roads, while windy and charming, are also VERY narrow. There is no shoulder. That makes it dangerous to park and walk. And it’s illegal. In addition, it’s disrespectful to our neighbors, who use the same roads to get to and from their homes and businesses.

🚨 CHP has informed us that they will be patrolling the area, and we’d hate for our visitors to be cited and/or towed.

🍏 We’re thrilled to see everyone and ask that you pack your patience along with your coolers, shopping lists, and fall looks. If you’re not willing to share your experience with others, consider planning a visit during the week. by @applehillofficial

October just got a lot spookier at @madronetreehill! 👻🎃🌲

The Haunted Christmas Forest is back for 2026 and this year the theme is Curse of the Dead Woods. The forest has awakened and raised the dead, and only the bravest dare walk through it.

Venture into the 450-yard loop trail through fog-shrouded pines where eerie animatronics, cursed creatures, haunting sound effects, and thrilling scenes are hidden among the trees.

⏰ October weekends starting October 3, Sat and Sun 11am to 5pm

Limited capacity, arrive early! Tickets and details at HauntedForest.farm
