Which farms near Sacramento and Apple Hill haven't posted their 2026 dates?

Apple Country Christmas Trees in Camino. It is listed because people look for it by name, and its card says what the farm has published so far.

How these were checked

Every farm here was read on its own website or Facebook page, and each card quotes the farm’s words and carries the date it was checked; cards updated from a farm’s own email say so. Where a farm states its opening as a rule — “the day after Thanksgiving” — or prints a day with no year, the card gives the 2026 date that rule makes and says so.

Sacramento here takes in Apple Hill and the Sierra foothills. Directories and news roundups were used only to find farms, never for a date or a price.
