Heirloom Tomato Tasting At Pilz Produce At Hillcrest presents on-farm, heirloom tomato tasting.

Hillcrest Orchard and Lisa's Petals and Produce have farmed together on the same rich, Placer County land since 2002. Finally in 2008 we (Steve & Lisa) have officially come together and blended our businesses to provide our customers with the high quality fruit, produce and flowers they have come to expect.

Since 1927, Hillcrest Orchard has been farming mandarin oranges in Penryn, California. The popular citrus was primary crop until the Lisa joined the farm in 2002. Since then we have added a variety of produce and flowers and are proud to say we now have crops almost year-round!

Our ranch sits on a beautiful hill overlooking the Loomis Basin in the rolling foothills of Placer County, California. On clear days we can even see Mount Diablo. We love the fact that on any given day, you can hear lots of wild birds, the moo of our kids' cows, or the neigh of the horse. We also encourage a wide variety of beneficial insects and plants. 

Today, we run the ranch together side-by-side and care for the trees, plants and animals with natural ingredients and love. As Steve always says, "What a great office window".

We are committed to honor our hard-working families and the effort that has been put into our land to grow the ranch to what it is today and promise to preserve this space for our family to live and grow on in the future. 

We strive to create a friendly, peaceful experience for each and every one of our loyal customers who visit the Pilz Produce at Hillcrest ranch throughout mandarin season or the friendly people we get to meet at the farmers' markets.
