About Filoli’s Orchard
The Gentleman’s Orchard at Filoli is over 100 years old. Today, it holds more than 600 apple, pear, plum, apricot, walnut, fig, and quince trees. Filoli continues to preserve this historic collection that includes rare and historically significant varieties.
What do you do with all that fruit?
So that everyone can enjoy the beauty of the Orchard, fruit tasting and picking is not an Orchard Days activity. The fruits and vegetables grown at Filoli are made into butters sold at the Clock Tower Shop, pressed into hard cider available at the Bluebird Bar, and are donated to local food banks.
