Grove School Farmers’ Market

The Grove School Market is located on the site of the historic Van Grouw Dairy with the original milking barn, farmhouse, and the relocated and restored Barton Schoolhouse.

For a more immersive Autumn experience, visit Oak Glen.

Oak Glen is a small agricultural community located in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. At 4000-5000ft above sea level, its climate is perfect for growing apples and pumpkins.

In this 5-mile-long community, one can find shops, bakeries, cafes, restaurants, camps, nature trails – even a petting zoo – and many apple farms.  

Mom’s Country Orchard

Mom’s Country Orchard is the first orchard and produce stand one encounters on Oak Glen Road out of Yucaipa. In addition to apples, at this 5th generation, pesticide-free orchard, the Laws family grows cherries, peaches, apricots, and blood oranges. They built the first cider mill in 1946 a couple of miles north of their store. Mom’s caters to diabetics, offering a sweetener-free line of marmalades as well as no yeast sourdough bread. Family and employees at the produce stand are happy to discuss the variety of produce they have and innovative ways in which they can be used. For apple pie baking, Allison Law states her favorite apple pie is made exclusively with Rome Beauty apples. For people who want a variety of apples in their pie, Allison says “go for it, as long as at least one Rome Beauty is in the pie”.
