About The Farm

Our History

Over 100 years in the making

Our orchard was planted in 1910, making our Stayman-Winesap apples over 100 years old.  The Swanson Family acquired the farm in 2002 and officially opened Willowbrook Apple Farm in 2004.  Through years of dedication and hard work, Cheryl Swanson built Willowbrook Apple Farm into a beloved family destination and the best-reviewed farm in Oak Glen.

Cheryl chose the Driscolls to care for and run Willowbrook Apple Farm in 2018. It is clear when reading yelp reviews and speaking with previous customers and volunteers, that Cheryl created a place that touched many people’s hearts.  Now in the caring hands of Hayden and Jane, Willowbrook Farm will continue to offer u-pick berries, u-pick apples, private events, interactive farm experience and educational farm tours. They are committed to growing the highest quality produce locally in rhythm with the seasons, and are excited to grow with you all at Willowbrook Farm in Oak Glen.

Willowbrook Apple Farm is a small, family-run operation and our family is honored to continue what Cheryl started. We hope you will visit us and allow us to welcome you to Willowbrook Apple Farm.

On behalf of my entire family, we want to thank everybody for the tremendous amount of support we have received since taking over Willowbrook Apple Farm in January of 2019. It has been an amazing adventure and we could not be more grateful that we got to be a part of this community. Oak Glen is a truly magical place and will always hold a special place in our hearts. We will miss all of you, our neighbors and friends, and the community that supported us along this journey.

We have made the decision to move on to our next adventure, and are so excited to be turning over Willowbrook Apple Farm to extremely capable hands. Goodie farm is a certified organic farm currently growing for the community on 6-acres of land in cherry valley. Their mission is to establish a rhythm with the land through a commitment to the organic process, sustainability, conservation, and biodiversity. Growing healthy, organic, diversified vegetables and herbs for the community and chefs has been the foundation of Goodie Farm, since its establishment in 2018 and remains their primary objective. They are an amazing family with big plans for Willowbrook Apple Farm, and I can’t wait to see everything they bring to the community. Thank you again for 4 wonderful years at Willowbrook! Love, The Driscolls
