Famous for our crust and the only place you can get a "Walkin' Pie". You've got to see our mile high Farmhouse Pie weighing in at over 5 pounds. Another favorite is the French Apple Pie with sliced apples simmered to perfection and mildly spiced with cinnamon. In September, we have a wonderful Blackberry Sourcream Pie with a butter crumb topping, and in November we have our creamy Pumpkin Pie. This year we're adding pumpkin pie to our frozen pie list. Pick up yours when you visit and it will be a great addition to your Thanksgiving celebration.
A new favorite is the Apple Cheesecake with a walnut crumb crust. Apple Strudel
is available but by special order only, so call ahead giving us 48 hours advance

Starting in 2007, we're serving authentic Mexican food! Carne Asada and Chicken & Pork Tacos. Try the savory Empanadas. You'll be pleasantly surprised! Don't forget to enjoy the view from our deck. "Open Saturdays and Sundays only."
Taste any of the 9 varieties of apples grown right here on the ranch. The hot days and cold nights here in Apple Hill bring out more flavor in the fruit. You can truly taste the difference. Pick up some fresh Apple Cider--it's ice cold and delicious.
All our pumpkins, Indian Corn, and Gourds are grown right here at Kids, Inc. It's a long wonderful story, but to make it short... not the "Kids, but the kids of the "Kids" grow the pumpkins. There are sixteen Delfino grandchildren and with the supervision of Uncle Chris, they plant, weed, pick, and sell all of our pumpkins! They split the money and save for college. Come visit them. True farmers--ask them questions, they'll surprise you.
If you're looking for gifts, stop by Nanny's Gift Shop It's the little building with the porch and the checkerboard floor. You wouldn't believe that the building used to be an old mining shack. Nanny and Papa Delfino bought it for $35 a "few" years ago, brought it home on a trailer, it fell off the trailer and that's how the location for the shack was chosen. Who knew someday it would become the Kids, Inc. Gift Shop.
We are proud to have Winterhill Olive Oil in our Gift Shop for the first year in 2010. Winterhill Farms is a local, organic olive grower and producer of olive oil. Their main store is in downtown Placerville and they call their Kids Inc store "Winterhill East". Winterhill shares with Kids Inc a commitment to the highest quality and a passion for our customers to experience joy and happiness when consuming our products. Come taste and see their beautiful oils, jams, jellies, and chutneys that will make great gifts to family and friends (and even yourself!!)
