For 10 years straight, Nunn Better Cherry Orchard in Brentwood has never let us down!…read more Every season we make the trip out, and every single year the cherries are absolutely incredible -- sweet, fresh, and impossible to stop eating before we even get home. Well being truthful even some as we picked....The orchard is beautiful, the staff is always friendly, and the experience has become one of our favorite family traditions. In a world where so many places change over time, it's honestly amazing to have a spot that stays consistently wonderful year after year.

Visited Nunn Better Farms for cherry picking and honestly left disappointed. At first, we were…read morepicking cherries from an area that looked very dry and poorly maintained. Later on, we found out that section was already out of season. As we walked farther, we finally saw much better cherries, but most of the good ones were way too high to reach and there were no ladders available. There were some lower branches, but the cherries there were not great in quality, so we ended up picking only around 3 lbs. We then decided to switch to the peach and nectarine area hoping for a better experience, but unfortunately there was barely anything good to pick. Most of the fruits were either overripe, damaged, or already picked over. Overall, it felt like the farm should have better guidance on which sections are still worth visiting before customers pay and spend time walking around in the heat. The staff was fine, but the overall fruit quality and picking experience were disappointing for us this visit.

We had a great experience and would love to come back. G&S is a very large farm. Our check in…read moreexperience was easy and smooth. We were given a plastic bag which holds 15-16 lbs of cherries. We took a tractor out to the fields. We were able to pick Lapins (deep red and sweet), sweethearts (which my kids loved, but they were a bit more sour to us), and rainiers (the yellow red ones and our favorite as they were super sweet). The cherries were easy to pick even for our little kids, and there were a few ladders in the trees as well. We went on Memorial Day weekend so there was also a shaved ice tent and cannolis and Italian spritzes available for purchase. The farm was also selling sweet corn at the cashier. We ended up with about 8 lbs. You can bring your own food, drinks and your own bag/backpacks. Don't forget snacks, sunscreen, a hat and drinks! Also a cooler for your produce!

I haven't gone to any other U-pick cherry farms so I can't compare Chavez with other farms. I can…read moreonly talk about my experience at this farm. I go pick cherries at Chavez once a year for 7-8 years now. I wake up very early and try to get there right when they open so that I don't get stuck in traffic. It can get crowded. Also, this can help you get a parking spot for sure. They do have a big parking lot though so it's probably okay. Price this year: $4/lb. They accept credit card now too. I love cherries here. They are quite big, sweet and a little tangi. Yummy!! Just make sure to be patient and don't pick the ones that are not that dark yet. Keep going until you find a good tree. Then you can commit to picking them. I've seen people that pick too many of the light pink color ones and then ended up threw them away so they don't have to pay. So bad. To check if they open, you should visit their fb page or website. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064332085997&mibextid=ZbWKwL https://chavezupickcherries.com/ It's also really good if you bring a tall friend so they can pick the cherries up high for you haha.

There are two different sections where you can park that had different types of cherries in each area. We opted for what seemed to be the quieter area near the end. Parking was a lot better down there. We were greeted with bags and were told about the process. And then we were off to it. The farther you get down into the grove, you will see ladders and you can use those ladders to pick some of the higher cherries. We had a good time picking for a little less than an hour and when we were done, we were able to find our way out and pay pretty quickly. This place is cash only but the line went really smooth and quick. I wouldn't mind coming back!

Shout out to my sister for doing the research and doing all the planning when it came down to our trip during Marsh Creek's opening weekend. Located in Brentwood, this U-Pick cherry farm offers a fun experience where you can purchase fresh fruit directly from the source. Staff encourages you to sample from the tree prior to plucking. This joint will set you back $4.50 a pound for u-pick version and they offer pre-picked cherries for $6 a pound. Additional items for sale: a fruit picker stick for $15, Marsh Creek Farm hats for $20, water bottles for $1, & local honey for $18. With our visit occurring during opening weekend, picking the cherries wasn't too bad. There was plenty of reachable fruit for ya girl who is a whopping 5'5. The darker, sweeter options located at the tip top of the trees were only accessible if you had a fruit picker. No ladders were available or seen. 5/5 stars for the memorable family fun. Our party left with 3 [small] buckets of firm, crisp, semi tart, & juicy cherries. I'd come back in a heartbeat but would recommend patrons to use the restroom prior to the trip out- the porta potties provided were horrendously disgusting.

The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and resourceful. We had such a great experience that we're already looking forward to coming back next year. Safety Opportunities: While our experience was wonderful, we did notice a few areas for improvement in terms of safety. The pathways leading to the cherry trees could benefit from some maintenance: trimming weeds, filling in potholes, and general upkeep would help prevent potential trip hazards and make the paths safer for families.

Parking is easy, and the staff are wonderful and helpful with recommendations. It's rare to find a truly organic farm in this area, and the quality and freshness of their fruit and produce really stand out. The general store up front is amazing...they have specialty breads, nuts, and unique jams made from their own fruit that are to die for. Definitely keep an eye out for unique finds like their frozen mulberries and white peach or nectarine jams. We loved the specialty products so much that we actually went back two days later to stock up on gifts. We came for U-pick peaches and nectarines. The tree-ripened fruit was incredibly sweet and juicy with a floral aroma. We went with kids and grandparents, and everyone had an amazing time. The apricots looked amazing too...can't wait to come back once they're ripe!

(3.5 stars, rounded up to 4)…read more The Urban Edge Farm is well-known for their peach and apricots during the summer time. But who said U-Pick season has to end after the summer? During the fall, they offer other U-Pick fruits, such as pomegranates, persimmons, and kumquats. Last weekend, we decided to try out their persimmon U-Pick. I initially found out about when their persimmon U-Pick would be available through an Instagram comment (there weren't any lnstagram posts or events on their website directly advertising this year's persimmon season), but I also double-checked by calling them the morning of before making the trek to Brentwood. The front of the farm area is a little store front, where you can buy fresh produce that's been harvested directly from the farm. This is also where you weigh your fruits after picking them. After completing the liability form via QR code, they drive you and your guests on a jeep to the fruit trees (and back). During the short drive to the persimmon trees, we also spotted baby cherry trees, a couple of pomegranate trees, and what appeared to be a grapefruit tree. As for the persimmons, there were about 5 Fuyu trees and 2 Hachiya trees. There were plenty of Fuyus available for us to pick. On the other hand, the Hachiya trees were quite bare so we only ended up finding and picking one that was ripe enough. At $4/lb for both varieties of persimmons, we ended up paying around ~$17 for 12 persimmons. The persimmons that were ripe enough to eat were nice and sweet. Getting the U-Pick experience without the summer heat and with reasonable prices was great. The only downside to this experience was the abundance of ants on the trees. The ants got on my hands, clothes, and even my face and the top of my head. The ants didn't appear to affect the quality of the fruit, since they were mainly on the branches and the tops of the persimmon leaves. I wasn't afraid of getting ants on me, but it was starting to get bothersome having to swat the ants away from my body and the persimmons I picked. I thought I had gotten rid of all the ants before leaving and getting into my car, but throughout the ride home, I spotted some straggler ants on my lap and arms, and even on the windshield! So take that into consideration if you're not particularly fond of ants.
