A three-generation Utah County fruit family operating strictly by appointment, but with two conflicting addresses (Genola and American Fork) that couldn't be reconciled in the record — clarify this by phone before planning a visit.
Riley’s Genola Orchards is described in Utah Farm Bureau coverage as a three-generation Utah County fruit-growing family, offering apple, peach, and pear u-pick by appointment rather than during posted drop-in hours. That appointment-based model is a distinctly more personalized approach than most other orchards in this research batch, which tend to advertise set daily or weekly hours. The family’s online presence, per the record, is a Facebook page (facebook.com/rileyupick) rather than a dedicated website, which limits how much can be independently confirmed beyond what’s captured in third-party agricultural coverage.
One of the more unusual issues in this record is a real conflict in the available sources about where the orchard is actually located. Some sources describe the Riley family’s u-pick operation as running from two separate sites — one in Genola, Utah County, and a second at 850 W 700 North in American Fork, with different zip codes attached to each in different listings. The address used in this record, 294 N 800 East in Genola, is the one most consistently reported across sources, but it was not independently verified against a mapping service, and the American Fork address genuinely could represent a second, active location rather than an outdated or mistaken entry. This is a case where the honest thing to do is flag the conflict rather than pick one address and present it as settled fact.
Utah Farm Bureau coverage frames the Riley family as three-generation fruit growers in Utah County, which is a specific, checkable claim about the operation’s history, distinct from generic “family-owned” marketing language often used without any real detail behind it. Coverage also describes the family growing apples, peaches, and pears for u-pick, suggesting a diversified small operation similar in spirit to some other family orchards in this research batch, like Kelley Orchards in Weiser, Idaho.
Because this orchard doesn’t operate on fixed hours, the usual questions about “what time should I go” or “is it open today” don’t really apply the same way — a visit here requires calling ahead (801-609-4359) to arrange a time, likely coordinated around when a specific fruit is actually ripe and ready. That also means there’s no way to independently verify current apple varieties or pricing without that direct contact, since no farm-owned page could be found to confirm those details.
Beyond the address conflict, there’s no information in the record about apple variety names, pricing, or what a typical appointment involves — whether it’s a solo family slot, a small group visit, or something else. No 2026-dated season announcement was found either, which is unsurprising for a by-appointment operation that likely coordinates timing informally rather than through public seasonal marketing.
Riley’s Genola Orchards offers a genuinely personalized, appointment-based alternative to the drop-in orchards that make up most of this research batch, backed by three generations of Utah County fruit-growing experience. But the unresolved conflict between a Genola and an American Fork address means the very first thing to confirm by phone — before anything about apples, pricing, or timing — is exactly where to go.
Not stated in the record. No 2026-dated season announcement was found, and since the operation runs by appointment rather than posted hours, timing needs to be arranged directly with the family.

Coverage describes apple, peach, and pear u-pick, per Utah Farm Bureau reporting, though current apple varieties specifically weren't confirmed from a farm-owned page.
Unclear from available sources. One address given is 294 N 800 East in Genola, but other listings describe a second site at 850 W 700 North in American Fork for what appears to be the same family operation — this should be clarified by phone before visiting.
