Don’t just tour the farm — explore it alongside the very farmer who built it, Brooke Hazen, in this immersive, behind-the-scenes experience.
Step into the heart of Gold Ridge Organic Farms for an orchard hike led by our founder and farmer, Brooke Hazen. With over two decades of dedication poured into these 88 acres of certified organic farmland, Brooke will guide you through the orchards and share the story of how he transformed this land into a thriving sanctuary for heirloom apples, olives, and citrus.
Along the way, you'll explore our 70+ heirloom apple varieties and 21 olive cultivars, learn about our organic farming practices, and get your questions answered by the person who knows this land better than anyone
Please Note:
This is a moderately challenging walk over uneven, rugged terrain with gentle hills and light elevation gain. Sturdy, closed-toe, non-slip shoes are required. No heels, sandals, ballet flats, or open-toed shoes allowed.
What to Bring:
*Sun Protection: Sunscreen and a sun hat
*Water: A refillable bottle — we offer pristine well water for top-ups
*Layers: Mornings are cool and afternoons can be warm — a T-shirt with a light jacket works well
After the hike, enjoy a capsule tasting of our most popular and best beloved apple and olive products, including our Tuscan Blend EVOO, Apple Cider Syrup and more!
