Our History
Over 100 years in the making
Our orchard was planted in 1910, making our Stayman-Winesap apples over 100 years old.ย The Swanson Family acquired the farm in 2002 and officially opened Willowbrook Apple Farm in 2004.ย 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 peopleโs hearts.ย Now in the caring hands of Hayden and Jane, Willowbrook Farmย 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.
