Meadow Lakes Orchard Springs to Life: Join Us for Coffee, Handcrafted Gifts, and Sierra Nevada Charm!

The last snow dusted our mountains just three ago, keeping us on our toes, but with spring in full bloom, we’re ready to welcome you back to our beautiful 40-acre apple farm in Meadow Lakes (near Shaver Lake)! We're excited to announce that Meadow Lakes Orchard is kicking off the season next weekend, starting Friday, May 23rd! Our cozy coffee shop and retail store will be open Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 9 AM to 3 PM - note these limited hours (until apples arrive in September), so plan your visit accordingly! For those craving a deeper dive into our apple farm magic, book a private tour Monday through Friday (9 AM–12 PM) or a dreamy sunset tour (6 PM–8 PM).

What’s Brewing at the Orchard?

Swing by for a cup of Reverent Coffee, roasted in the hills of Oakhurst, paired with fresh-baked goodies from our talented local bakers. Our retail shop is a treasure trove of Central Valley artistry, featuring:

• Kim and Jill Spruance of Basilwood Farm (just below Prather), with their luxurious handcrafted goat milk soaps and creams

• Molly Beck's adorable jumbo-stitch crocheted farm animals made with love from Kingsburg

• Fresh handpicked lavender from Solace Lavender Farm in Kerman, and more Central Valley and California creators, showcasing the heart and soul of our region

While our Macintosh and Golden Delicious won’t ripen until September, there’s no shortage of fun! Explore the farm, soak in the Sierra Nevada’s scenic beauty, and learn about agri-tourism through our tours and activities. It’s the perfect way to savor the crisp mountain air and make memories with family or friends.

Looking Ahead: Events & Classes

We’re easing into the season through May and June, but big things are coming! From farm-inspired events to hands-on classes, we’ll share the full Summer lineup soon. Follow us on Instagram (@meadowlakesorchard), check our website, or pop by on weekends to stay in the loop.
