May 13-15: Cherry Orchards Continue to Open for U-Pick Season

by ECT
With the return of warmer weather this week, several additional Brentwood Orchards will be opening this weekend. Brooks and Coral Champagne varieties are at their peak.
Other Fruit: Peaches and Apricots are now widely available throughout the growing region.
Who’s Open: Since crops mature at different rates on different trees, it may be necessary for some Orchards to close at various times. We will see this occur over the weekend. Based on our most recent information, the info-graphic below outlines which Orchards are open each day of the weekend. We’ve also indicated the Orchards opening for the first time this weekend.
Please remember this information is subject to change based on demand and weather conditions  Weather: Mid-70’s and Partly Sunny Additional Updates:
  • Freitas Cherry Ranch (Harvest Time Member #37) will not open to the public this year due to a small crop. They look forward to reopening in 2017.
  • Wolfe Ranch Cherries (Harvest Time Member #23) is currently closed. Their Coral Champagne Cherries have been picked over. They expect to reopen May 21 with Bing and Rainier Cherries.
  • Smith Family Farms (Harvest Time in Brentwood Member #33) opens their fruit stand on Friday, May 13. U-Pick Cherries are not currently available.

Tips:

  • Are you looking for Brentwood Cherries without the U-Pick? Many growers will have them pre-picked and ready for purchase this weekend. Other growers will take their cherries to Brentwood Farmers’ Market (Saturday’s from 8am-12pm in Downtown Brentwood at 1st and Oak Street).
  • In partnership with 510Families, we are pleased to reveal our inaugural “Guide to Cherry Picking in Brentwood”! This was our first opportunity to create an engaging and consolidated version of our content for families interested in Brentwood’s U-Pick Cherry Orchard. It’s pinned to the top of our page, and available here: https://www.510families.com/cherry-picking/
