"Ranches belonging to the Apple Hill® Growers Association are showcasing their blooming orchards, Christmas tree and vineyards on April 17th with a trail run to kick off our 2010 Apple Blossom Festival, sponsored in a partnership with Whole Foods Market.

A portion of the proceeds from the Apple Hill® Blossom Trail Run will benefit Hope House of El Dorado County. Hope House is a not for profit, transitional living program for homeless women with young children."
