Cherry picking was pleasant. It was peaceful and quiet. My friends and I had a great start to that day. I've been holding off for about a week now to write this review. After we had paid for the cherries we were offered a tour of the orchard by the owners son. He also took us to see his own vegetables that he was growing on his side of the property. We were driven around in a small four wheeler with an open bed in the back. Two of us sat on the bed while the third sat next to the tour guide. The beginning of the tour was interesting, he was explaining how different trees grew and repopulated. Then it turned for the worst. The owners son began to speak about very explicit content, going into detail and pulling examples from websites and videos he watches. He mentioned a street fair that occurs in June in SF, one that tends to hold certain fetishes. My friends and I were extremely uncomfortable with the nature of this topic as we had never met this man before and he decided to speak to us about it for reasons I don't comprehend. Eventually, after almost 20 minutes, he got the hint that we wanted to leave and we piled on the four wheeler and he drove us back to our car. I legit need therapy for how uncomfortable I was at that moment. Cherries were good though I won't lie about that. Avoid any tours they offer. read more

My husband, our little girl, my father-in-law and I went cherry picking at Harris Orchard over Memorial Day weekend. There was no shortage of cherries on these trees! They were packed full of both variety -- Hudson and Rainier, which were both super sweet and yummy. We all had an amazing time, picked over $40 worth of cherries and left happy! I will say, their prices are a little steep whether you buy them pre-picked or you pick your own. I think that if people are going to come to your orchard to pick their own, you should definitely lower the price a tad, but it was still such a fun experience and we wouldn't hesitate to go again! Watching our daughter proudly pick her own cherries and add them to the bucket made us so happy -- it was absolutely worth it! This orchard is certainly a little gem tucked away in the valley! read more

Have been coming here for the last several years. I usually get cherries less than the supermarket prices. This year, they are selling it for $5 per pound when Costco is selling it for $4. Last time I am going here to pick my own cherries to pay more than the supermarket. read more

Went with the family to go cherry picking. Nice, relaxed atmosphere. Friendly owner. Lots of cherries left. Small parking lot, but there weren't a lot of people there, so we lucked out. Will definitely go again next season. read more

This orchard is great and best of all close to home!!! We went in the morning like around 9:30am and for a second we thought that they hadn't opened the orchard for picking yet like it advertised, but I was surprised when he said it was opened and cherries were ready for picking!! There was almost no body there yet and so we were very comfortable picking out delicious fresh cherries! The owner was very nice and humble that I just feel like we should be supporting these kinds of farms and ranchers more! Plus you get to choose and pick your own fruit! I can definitely say that we found a jem here in the Central valley close to home only 15 minutes away, how awesome!! We purchased cherries at $3.50 /lb and later they will be having peaches, apricots, nectarines and grapes for picking. I encourage you all to go and pick some fruit!! read more

Amazing cherries! Large and small! The owners are friendly and welcoming! I recommend many families to come here and have a great time!

Friendly owner and staff. Good quality of cherries....A great family day, simple and sweet

Great family outing after a Yosemite trip! It's in a very convenient location, along the way to San Francisco from Yosemite national park. The owners are very nice and welcoming :). They say one of the best part of this business is meeting new people. The owner told me they have 6 months of "self" picking (cherries, aprium, pluots, nectarines, peaches, almonds) starting in the spring till the fall. Fruits depend on the month. There is no entry fee, you just pay $3.50lb, for cherries which is very reasonable. Highly encourage everyone to come out here to support a farm and pick fresh fruit :). It would be helpful if they had a sign out on the main road to encourage people to come in. read more

Yelpers are right. They are very nice. Cherry picking here us fun and there is not alot of people. I really enjoy my time here and will come back. It is $3.50 lbs. We got 10lbs! Yum! read more

Great "pit" stop on our way home to S. Bay from the Sierras! Rainier cherries and another dark red variety (not Bings). Michael was so nice and took us on a mini-tour of the orchard and let the kids run through the almond sprinklers. $3.50/lb. When we asked how Brentwood orchards compare, we were told many Brentwood farms get picked clean early, can be very crowded and sometimes even charge parking. Not here. Picnic tables with shade and port-a-potty available. The Harris Family has been farming these orchards since 1917. We'll be back for plums (June) and pluots and apricots (late July). Fuyu persimmons and pomegranates in September and October. Thanks, Harris family! read more

I've been dreaming of a place just like this for YEARS! After gathering a delicious blueberry haul at nearby Jessop Farms, we picked up a Harris Orchard business card. U-pick Cherries?!? Count me in any time! Went straight over. How did we not find them years ago? This orchard is extremely friendly, gorgeous, and loaded down with ripe cherries. I mean it, cherry heaven. I already want go back, and we haven't even unpacked today's load. Please go check them out...This is exactly what you want and expect from a u-pick/fruit stand experience. If you've ever had to endure the crowds of Brentwood, you are not going to even believe how delightful an afternoon you'll find right here! read more

Great stuff! Say the sign on the road and pulled in. Super ripe fruit. well taken care of.

Great costumer service and reasonable price. We picked plums, peaches, nectarine, and some grapes. The lady who helped us was very nice and friendly, she gave us free aloe vera plants. We are definitely coming back. read more

Went earlier this year for cherries. It was okay. Small place with less traffic. We meant to return for the peaches but didn't get the chance. Maybe next year. read more

Had a great time picking fruits. He has an abundance of trees behind his home. The cherries were the winner.

This place is so cool. The cherries were the biggest I've seen and they are so sweet! The lady that lives there is very kind and even thought the other fruit wasn't quite ready for picking, I plan on returning very soon to do some picking. She now accepts card so it's also more convenient. read more

During Memorial Day Weekend, we decided last minute to go cherry picking with visiting family at Harris Orchards instead of driving to Brentwood from Tracy. We were expecting it to be very crowded as we got a late start (arrived at 10:30 am) but surprisingly, it was just the right amount of people there. So glad we chose to drive to Harris Orchards instead. We heard from several friends that many cherry farms in Brentwood were massively crowded, cherries picked over and cherries not too sweet. We were overwhelmed with the abundance of cherries and could not stop picking! The owner, her daughter and her daughter's son, Wolfgang were the best. I tried to tip Wolfgang for being so accommodating with our large group and he refused to take it. Goes to show you how wonderful this family is. They were informative, helpful and patient. We learned about the different cherries they grow: rainier, corrals, bings and others. Each were delicious and sweet but the corrals were the best, in my opinion. We will most certainly make this our cherry picking place from now on. $3.50/lb. No ladders needed; trees are grown low. Cash only. Check them out, you will not be disappointed. Btw, they also grow other fruits, veggies and nuts, during, before and after cherry season. We will be going back soon to experience other fruit picking. Can't wait! read more

We *highly* recommend this u-pick! The owner was so kind and gracious to us, and our children had a wonderful time! We picked peaches, plums, pluots, nectarines, and grapes -- so much to choose from! Then we washed them with the hose and had a little picnic out front. It was one of the best u-pick experiences we've had! We also love that this is a family-owned and run business. We will definitely stop by next time we are in the area! read more

We noticed a "pick your own cherries" sign on the side of road and decided to go. We were not disappointed! Michael showed is exactly where to pick our cherries and even took the time to show us around the farm. Beautiful place, excellent fruit and wonderful people! Thank you for your hospitality!! read more

The service was awesome! Such a sweet lady and also very yummy cherries!!! Will be coming back for sure!

This is the 2nd year in a row I've gone cherry picking at Harris Orchards. I love it there! I went on May 19, 2018 which was the first day of the season. They had the coral variety of cherries and the trees were abundant with delicious, sweet fruit. The posted price is $3.50/lb but if you buy a lot (we got 50 lbs) they will give you a volume discount. I'll be back next year! read more

We went here around June and had a blast picking plums, apricots and peaches. Charles, the owner, drove my husband, my 3-year old and me around in his ATV to different parts of the orchard. He was charming, welcoming and very knowledgeable. We also met his son and wife, and they were lovely people. We went back in October on a whim, and got some pomegranates, apples and almonds. It was a blast! read more

That's where it grows. Product only available in season, but then it is fresh from the tree or vine. Love stopping by bringing home fruit for family. In 2017 I've seen a sign and they told me one could pick cherries, which our boys probably should try once, so they'll know what I did as a kid. Remember to bring cash. You might as well buy more than you'd buy at the store, if you don't stop by daily, and make room for it in the fridge. read more

This whole place is great! The owner and her son is nice and helpful. The price is down to $3/ pound, and she will round the price down. We bought 9.6 pounds of Cherries, she rounded it to 9 pounds, so $27. Now, they do accept credit/ debit. We were told to try as many as you want. This is a great place for anybody, there is also a small 15by15 cage filled with around 5-7 small super cute puppies for sale. They love when people go over to them and stick their hand in, and they playfully chew on it. I was going to give one of them a new home, but my friend was worried about a unpotty-trained puppy in his new sports car. Too bad! Bottom line, this has great atmosphere, and the sweetest cherries I have ever had. Highly recommend. read more

What a wonderful place. We went to pick Cherries, they were so good. We pulled up and was met by a fantastic guy who told us where to go and what to look for. Spent an hour picking and eating end up with 13 pounds of wonderful cherries, my wife and I really enjoyed ourselves. Then at checkout had a lovely chat with the owners. So highly recommend this place. Cant wait to go back and find other delights later in the season, Apricots, Nuts, Grapes and so much more. read more

This orchard is owned by great folks. They were very friendly and let us bring our little fuzzy family members. The cherries are very tasty and you can pick your own if you'd like read more

Fun family run all U pick fruit farm. THe cherries are so sweet!!!! Will definately be back.

These are the best cherries around. The key is to call ahead to place an order. The people here are also super nice. The son of the owners gave me a tour of their property and showed me all the fruits and vegetables that they grow and sell. Love to support local businesses and they are worth it. read more

Awesome family farm with u-pick cherries, pluots, and grapes. The owners were super friendly and let us picnic in their front yard for hours :) and the cherries were de-licious! Well worth the drive out there. read more
