Peacefield Orchard

Our take

The short version

Peacefield Orchard is described in the record as a small, roughly 2.5-acre operation in Julian, open only on weekends (Saturday and Sunday, 9am-2pm) with a simple $20-per-half-peck-bag pricing structure and no separate entrance fee mentioned. It’s a boutique-scale listing compared to some of Julian’s larger orchards — but there’s a genuine open question about its current operating status that’s worth resolving before you plan a trip around it.

A small, weekend-only operation

At roughly 2.5 acres, per research notes, Peacefield is on the smaller end of the Julian orchards covered in this directory. Combined with its short Saturday-Sunday, 9am-2pm hours, this reads as a lower-volume, boutique-style farm rather than a high-traffic destination built to handle large weekend crowds. That can cut both ways: it may mean a quieter, more personal picking experience, but it also means less flexibility if you can’t make it out on a weekend.

Three named varieties — and one that isn’t formally listed

The record’s apple variety field names three: Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, and Granny Smith. Separately, the research notes mention something not reflected in that formal list — an unusually old Gravenstein tree on the property, apparently nicknamed “Granny Gravenstein” by the farm. That’s a specific, checkable detail worth asking about directly if a Gravenstein connection is part of what draws you here, since it isn’t clear whether fruit from that particular tree is available for picking or is more of a heritage landmark on the property.

What the $20 covers

Unlike some Julian orchards that charge a per-person admission on top of a bag price, Peacefield’s pricing note describes a $20 half-peck bag (about 6 lbs) with no separate entrance fee mentioned. If that’s accurate, it’s a simpler cost structure than orchards charging both an admission fee and a per-bag price — worth keeping in mind if you’re comparing costs across a few Julian stops on the same trip.

The status question that needs a phone call

This is the most important thing to flag plainly: research turned up a Yelp listing under a different business name — “Peacefield Boutique Orchard & Down the Road Farm” — at the same address, and that listing shows as closed. It’s genuinely unclear whether this reflects an old rebrand (the farm operating under a new name now) or an actual current closure that hasn’t been reflected everywhere online. Given the short weekend-only hours already suggest a small, lower-key operation, this ambiguity is enough that a call to 310-902-6321 before visiting is the sensible move rather than an optional extra step.

What else is missing

Beyond the operating-status question, there’s no confirmed 2026 season start or end date, so even if the orchard is currently open, it’s not clear how long that will remain true through the fall. No activities are listed either, reinforcing the sense that this is a straightforward apple-picking stop rather than a broader family destination.

Getting there

The address is 3803 Wynola Rd, Julian, CA 92036. Coordinates on file are a Julian city-center fallback, not geocoded to this specific address, so navigate by the street address rather than the map pin.

Bottom line

Peacefield offers a smaller-scale, weekend-only picking experience with an interesting old Gravenstein tree in the mix, at a simple flat price. But given a conflicting closed listing under a different name for the same address, this is one Julian orchard where confirming it’s actually open — with a quick phone call — should come before anything else in your planning.
