3 generations of family farming and entertainment…
Our story
Devon's parents relocated to Oak Glen in 1978, paving the way for a legacy that would last generations. At 14-years-old Devon owned and tended a 2 acre parcel of antiquated apple trees, introducing him to his life long love of an agricultural heritage. After Devon and Shelli were married, at 21-years-old, they began their entrepreneurial career with founding Riley's Farm, where they hosted dinner events and living history tours for 15 years.
In 2004 Riley’s Farm became under the management of Devon’s uncle (Jim Riley) so Devon and Shelli began a new venture of being tenants to historic Los Rios Rancho, where they operate the business and tend the 10,000 + apple trees. Together they have raised 4 children in the Glen, 3 of which have begun additional operations of the property extending the family business.
Growing the farm…
In 2014 we expanded, the operations to include hard cider production, leaning into the old crieto that the farmer doesn’t let anything go to waste. Using 90% of our own produce and curating the entire process on site (under our own management), our first batch was a huge hit and sold out within the month. Since that time we have added two new tasting spaces and sell to various restaurants and eateries int he region.
In 2016 we branched out further by adding Wilshire’s Apple Shed to our brick and mortar businesses. This historic building dates back to 1945 and has all the charm of a mid century America. Here we offer gourmet pizza, fresh roast coffee (from a local roaster), and mercantile gifts.
