Frequently Asked Questions

  • We ask that you respect our no-pet policy and leave all furry friends at home. While we clearly love animals, mixing farm animals, children, and pets unfamiliar with a crowd environment can lead to unsafe situations. We do not allow exceptions even for well-trained dogs.

    Service Animals are always welcome.

  • Have a food truck or local crafts and goods? Reach out to Marie at marie@manzanoretreat.com for more details.

  • This season the orchard was heavily impacted from a very bad hail storm in June, so we are unable to allow apple picking this year. We know, we are disappointed, too!

    We will still have lots of delicious apples, cider, and treats for you to purchase at the festival.

  • We are about an hour away from Albuquerque. From I-40, take the Tijeras Exit and go south on 337 for 29 miles. At the stop sign, turn right (west) on 55 and go another 8.6 miles. Turn right on 10 Pines Road and follow the Manzano Mountain Retreat Signs.

    Festival attendees will enter at our lower white gate and be directed to park.
