2021
Hello and welcome to the 57th year of Apple Hill! How time flies. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting, as a four-year-old kid, with my siblings at a wooden stand my Dad, Edio Delfino (one of the co-founders of Apple Hill Growers Association), built selling pumpkins, corn, gourds, and squash.
A farmer is taught to roll with the punches and that was definitely tested last year. When COVID-19 hit in 2020, we all still planted our crops, took care of our orchards and vineyards, and steadily tended to our land. Life is about challenges and farmers understand that. Regardless of the year and whatever is going on in the world, we still have freezes in April, hail storms in June, and fires in the Fall that can destroy a beautiful yield. Everything can be GONE in minutes. But, as farmers, we pick ourselves up and do it again the next year. We know you all had a tough year, it was one each and every one of us will never forget. But, life is getting back to some normalcy and, just like us farmers, you all are going to adapt, overcome, and enjoy this life with us. The 50+ farms of the Apple Hill Growers will look forward to seeing you and watching you pick that beautiful lavender and delicious blueberries in June. We will be here this Fall biting into that perfect apple or eating a piece of pie with a glass of wine or hard cider. All grown and made right here. This will be a special year. We cannot wait to see you. Thank you, Chris Delfino

COMMUNITY
The Apple Hill Growers and our individual ranch members believe in giving back to our local community. We focus on the needs of youth in our area by providing positive experiences and resources that cultivate a connection between agriculture, food, and natural resources. Here are just a few of our community projects and partners: Norma Brubaker Scholarships – Since 1986 Apple Hill Growers have awarded more than 100 scholarships through the Norma Brubaker Scholarship program. Named for the First Secretary of the Apple Hill Growers. The scholarship is funded by the Apple Hill Growers and the Brubaker family. El Dorado County Ag in the Classroom – This local, grassroots, charitable organization provides quality agriculture-related educational resources, programs, and training opportunities to increase awareness and understanding of the importance of agriculture in our lives. Farm Day – These are fun, hands-on field trips where lessons of agriculture and its role in our everyday lives, our county, and its economy are taught to 3rd graders in the context of local farms, ranches, forests, and watersheds. Visit agintheclass-edc.org/programs-resources/farm-day/ for more information. Apple Hill Harvest Run – One of the oldest runs in California: the 42nd Annual Apple Hill Harvest Run, will be held on the morning of Sunday, November 14, 2021. All proceeds of the run directly benefit the students of Camino Union School District. Since 1996, as beneficiary, Camino School has received more than $200,000 from the run.
