FINDING US and
AVOIDING THE TRAFFIC

We are an easy drive from Sacramento with routes that can get you around Apple Hill Traffic. When other locations are jammed packed with long lines, here is one of our favorite local routes to avoid the gridlock and get you in and out of Jack Russell Farm Brewery.  In the age of GPS and Google Maps, providing directions is a bit old school.  But during Apple Hill Season, GPS could take you right into the middle of crazy traffic.  Here is how we get in and out of the farm during Apple Hill.

From Highway 50 East Towards Tahoe

PREPARE TO EXIT AT
CAMINO HEIGHTS DRIVE

(Helpful Tip: When you see the Purple Sushi Place and Red Psychic sign on the right, get into the right lane promptly.  If you miss the Camino Heights Exit, you will need to go further up the hill to Carson Road and will end up in Apple Hill Traffic.)

From Highway 50 East Towards Tahoe

EXIT AT CAMINO HEIGHTS DRIVE.

(Helpful Tip: Once you make the right off the freeway, prepare to turn left quickly in front of the gas station. Oncoming traffic has a stop sign so don’t panic, you have the right of way to go left.)

From Camino Heights Drive

MAKE A QUICK LEFT ONTO
SIERRA BLANCA DRIVE
