Less crowded than other. We were late this season so there weren't not much cherries to pick. Most of the cherries were too ripe, not hard anymore. The ranch parking were eat to get in. read more

I love cherries and picking them fresh brings back nostalgia and an abundance of the sweet, juicy fruit. Our relatives recommended Maggiore's to us and we went to town picking as many as we can carry home. Tip- the sweetest black pearls are near the highway so we got up on ladders and filled our buckets. Once you arrive you check in at the front, get your bucket - it's $4/lb for the manual picks OR browse the mini market where you can buy some of the premium cherries for $5/lb. We ended up doing both. There are several rows of cherry trees with different varieties but I prefer the black pearls. There is outdoor parking in the ranch entrance. Make sure to bring a hat if it's sunny and a water bottle. There are also port-o-potties! read more

The cherries this year were excellent at Maggiore Ranch. The employees were friendly and explained the different types of cherries that were available. The trees were full of cherries and easy to pick thanks to the ladders that were readily available. If you didn't want to climb up, there were lots of cherries easily within reach. I'm definitely going to return to Maggiore next year. read more

Maggiore Cherry Ranch - Super sweet! - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Brentwood, California

Maggiore Ranch has the best Cherries in Brentwood. I've even had my friends and family from Southern California. Come out to get some cherries. The people that work there are extremely professional and friendly. It just makes you wanna come back for more. read more

Absolutely loved the cherry picking experience here! $4 a pound is not bad at all. These cherries were delicious, juicy, and sweet! Everyone was so friendly and courteous when it came to the ladders. For it to be a holiday weekend, we expected there to be no room to move around. Even though they were packed, they had more than enough cherries to go around and be picked. I highly recommend printing out the waiver beforehand! They also only take cash or check so make sure you add that stop before coming here. read more

Took a homeschool field trip today to pick some cherries after some clients brought us some last week.. Found Maggiore Ranch online open during the week (today!) and hopped in the car and went. Great day to go.. perfect weather, lots of parking, easy to find, super friendly people. AND.. the cherries are delicious. We came home with a bucket of Brooks cherries. They aren't as sweet as Bings or traditional store bought, but they are delicious. Lots of tall ladders. If able, climb the ladder, find the bigger darker cherries.. juicy and sweeter than the brighter smaller cherries which can be tart. Bring cash or check and your own bucket or bag (as listed on the website). We may come back when other cherries are ready. The weather totally cooperated too, making this an super enjoyable outing to get out of the house, learn a little, and have something to show (and taste) for it later... Totally recommend this place! We visited the Walnut Ave. location. read more

One of my favorite farms for cherry picking, with portable toilets and hand washing stations. Lots of beautiful large Champagne cherries. Easy parking and access to the cherry trees. read more

We haven't been to this farm for years as we've been going and trying other places. But this year the trees were full of cherries! The trees were so full, but this year the cherries were smaller but still really good. I remember years ago, the cherries were bigger, not sure if we ventured the wrong way. Just for reference, we pass the pay station and went right into the blue tree area, and headed to the bad. The blue trees which were Corals didn't look ripe enough for our taste, maybe in a week or so it will be good. The trees we picked from had no color, so not sure which ones they were. The cherries were $4 /lb for the 2023 season. Parking and service was good, plenty of ladders to climb to get to the nice dark cherries high in the tree. read more

Maggiore Cherry Ranch - Cherries! - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Brentwood, California

Maggiore Ranch. Note and it did say on the website- no buckets provided- BYOB. They did have plastic shopping bags at the entrance, you have to ask for it. Finally check off my list for U-Pick Strawberries and it was so much fun. Everything is outdoors, face masks are to be worn at all times. There were portable restrooms. Staff was very nice. Parking was easy and plentiful. Great fun, weekend to do. The quality of the cherries was perfect. A many of the visitors, everyone bought water bottles to washed and had them as snacks while picking. They are semi sweet and sweet. It wasn't crowded when we arrive although there were a few groups of people. I love how cute and bright red the cherries were. We enjoyed picking the cherries so much. We continued to eat a handful right when we got back to the car and as we headed home. If you're looking for a great experience, friendly staff definitely come here. Really looking forward to coming back next season. Final Damage: $3.50/lb./ 18 lbs. = $64.00. Walnut Blvd, Brentwood has many farms and fruit/vegetables stands along this street. read more

Review #090 - 2020 After we spent about half an hour picking strawberries over at Chan's Fruit Stand, I decided to take the kids over to pick cherries again. The place we went to pick cherries at last week was a little disappointing so I wanted to see if Maggiore had better tasting cherries, and sure enough they did! We showed up at around 2 PM on Friday, May 15th, and the parking lot was pretty full, but we still managed to find a good parking spot right in front. Before we got started, I had to sign a consent form, which I honestly did not read. Masks are required for anyone over the age of 13. My 11-year old niece was super excited because she's never picked cherries before and she was able to pick strawberries & cherries in one day. My older brother was much more excited about picking cherries than strawberries, because I guess he's not a big fan of strawberries either. We spent about half an hour here as well and picked about 10lbs of cherries altogether. I think we must have picked about the same weight in cherries as we did strawberries because the total came out to the same price, $28! The cherries here are plentiful, plump & sweet! The kids had a great time! Now, I'll remember where to come back to for sweet, juicy cherries! read more

We tried the other cherry farms in Brentwood, but Maggiore by far is our favorite as they have the sweetest cherries. We've been going to this farm for 6 years in a row now and have always been extremely satisfied with our experience. Love this place! Come early in the morning during cherry picking season to avoid traffic and the HEAT! Cherry picking season typically starts from early May through mid June. Best to come early in the season so the trees haven't been picked out yet. Kids will then be able to enjoy picking the cherries as they're reachable. They provide plastic bags for the cherries. They used to provide a bucket, but it seems they've stopped providing it. They also provide a ladder, which you'll find along the path so no need to bring one. Wear a hat and bring water to help cope with the heat. Coming early in the morning makes a HUGE difference! read more

We've been cherry picking for the past 8 years or so, and this is the ranch we tend to stick with when we can. This is one of the oldest orchard locations in the area, so at least one member in the party will probably be climbing one of the ladders, though there are definitely low hanging branches for little kids to pick. We keep going back to this one because it is close to town, the parking lot is big, and there are so many trees and varietals that something is always ready in May/June. But it does get crowded, and it does sometimes feel less bucolic and more of a process. Porta-potties are useful, but it does take away from the ambiance. Maggiore has four different orchards. The newer ones have lower trees and less need for ladders. I really recommend going on their website to see which is the best fit for you. Call ahead to make sure they have enough cherries. Last year we went on a Sunday, and it had gotten over picked on Saturday, so we got sent to one of their other orchards. Cash or check only. read more

Great cherry selection and yes, they do Apple Pay! A wonderful place to take the little ones to roam the fields. Prices are excellent also.

Seko ranch was closed so my family went this place. All the trees were pretty much bare - the good cherries were all at the top. Not only hard to get to, but a bother because you had to move the ladder every couple of minutes. I don't know if cherry picking season was early this year... or just that it was off season or something. It's also so loud here. I don't mind kids, but the screaming ones?? Ugh. Especially the ones that are running around. That is so dangerous given the amount of ladders here.. read more

This place is so nice .I have to go back for 3 times with my family and friends. I also brought my kids to enjoy the weekend. read more

Covid-19 experience. Came here last month and I chose this place because making a reservation online was easy. We came here around 930 and there weren't that much people yet. They were organized. I think they try to contain the crowd so they direct you to the first part of their farm, the one closest to the entrance. There are other areas that we tried going to since there weren't people there but they said to follow the entrance that was open. Unfortunately, the trees were pretty much empty. This was the first time I went cherry picking where I had to go to so many trees just to get enough cherries. Fortunately, as we were heading out, I saw that one tree right by the entrance that had very ripe dark cherries. I got almost 2 lbs of cherries just from that tree alone. I'm assuming people go pass it hoping there would be more in the back of the ranch. I noticed as we were leaving that they had opened up another part of the ranch. We would gone there but we already had enough cherries. read more

My daughter and I go here every year for Mother's Day to pick cherries. This tends to always be the first Sunday of the season as well. This ranch always has the biggest and richest cherries. Due to the mature trees, their orchard produces very large cherries that are deep red, crisp and juicy during bing picking season. There are plenty of ladders to use and they are light and easy to move. This year (2019), the price is $3.50 per pound and one white bucket (that they provide) usually holds 10lbs give or take. We always buy 10+ lbs to start and come back in 3 or so weeks for reineer cherry season at the same farm! This is the best place, I highly recommend it, we've been coming here for years! read more

Chomping those fresh cherries during this time of the year along with the traffic chaos that goes on in this little farm town. This is definitely my go-to place to get my cherries for the Brooks/Bing/Coral Champagne varieties. I usually go for picked ones that they sell but one of these days I'll def go pick them. The current selling price for picked is $4.50/lb and u-pick is $3.50/lb. read more

Maggiore Cherry Ranch - Information - Fruits & Veggies Near Me - Brentwood, California

Very nice produce. Only thing is they are taking cash only. I was surprised that happened in California.

We came here to pick cherries on 5/26. The cherries available were the red Bing cherries. $3.50 per lb for u pick. Pre-packed boxes were available for $4.50 a lb if you don't want to do u pick, but these were gone by mid day. They provide buckets and plastic bags for picking. Most of the low lying cherries on the trees were already picked. So we had to climb ladders to get to the few cherries left near the top of trees. (You will need to sign a liability waiver when you go in). The cherries we got were nice, ripe and sweet. After spending a bit of time picking due to the few cherries left, we got the amount we wanted. I saw another section of the orchard with more cherries but they weren't ready for picking. There's a big parking lot in front and porta potties. read more

Man, these cherries are legendary... we usually pick at least 9-17 pounds every time we go. So sweet, juicy, and flavorful. I also get diarrhea every time when leaving without fail because I eat an unnecessary amount of unwashed cherries while picking. But hey, that's my own fault. Not gonna dock 'em a star for that. read more
