About Clearview Orchards

Clearview Orchards is a family-run U-pick apple orchard in Watsonville where visitors harvest their own organic apples directly from the trees. The orchard grows Fuji apples, known for their sweet flavor and crisp texture, EverCrisp apples that blend sweetness with crunch, and Mutsu apples with balanced tartness suitable for snacking or baking. All trees are dwarf varieties planted with children in mind, and grass pathways between terraced rows allow easy strolling through the orchard. After picking, families visit the Apple Barn to weigh their apples and purchase additional products including fresh apple juice, apple turnovers, organic squash, pumpkins, dried lavender, and honey. The orchards sit on a terraced setting overlooking the Watsonville valley, located only three miles from the ocean and La Selva Beach. The property is operated by Mel and Carol LaRussa and their family.
