Reading Time: 3 minutesIn this post we share photos from Clearview Orchards, Watsonville, California, United States of America.

Clearview Orchards is a local certified organic farm that sits on 10-acres in the rolling hills of Watsonville.

This family owned-and-operated orchard opens to the public during September and October, and visitors can pick Fuji, Gala, Honeycrisp, Mutsu, Jonagold and Granny Smith apples straight from the trees. The general stores sells baked goods (e.g., apple turnovers, apple bread), lavender products, local honey, soaps, gourds, squashes, brussel sprouts and fresh-pressed apple juice (a must try!)

A visit to Clearview Orchards would make for a lovely continuation to time in Santa Cruz or Capitola, California, a mere three miles away.
