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.

We grabbed a couple buckets and we were off. There were so many cherries and we were more than happy to have our fill of samples. So sweet! At $4 a lb these were on the pricier side but worth it for how much fun we had. We ended up paying $88 for our pick. Come early in the AM to beat the heat!

This is a really cute U-pick fruit farm for the whole family. We came on June 1st, and there were…read morepeaches, apricots, cherries, and strawberries. Tip: follow them on instagram to get the latest updates on hours and available fruits for picking. The place is quite large, so you'll need to pay for their tractor ride ($4) to get from station to station. We came around 10:00 a.m. on a Monday and the place wasn't crowded. We picked up our baskets and then let the kids place around their tree house for a little bit before getting on the tractor. Our first stop was peaches and apricots. The peaches were pretty low hanging, and the kids were so excited to pick them. However, there weren't that many ripe ones at this time. There were more ripe apricots, and they were sweet and juicy. Our next stop was the strawberry station where there were plenty of ripe strawberries. Our last stop was the cherry station. Our driver directed us to the last row where we could find ladders. Sure enough the cherries were plentiful and so sweet and juicy. There were even kid size ladders for the littles ones. The fruits were 100 times better than what you'll find at the grocery store, and the kids had so much fun picking their own fruits. If you need a fun activity with the kids, I high recommend coming here.

We visited on a weekday and, by then, the strawberry fields were nearly picked over. The tractor…read moreride costs $4 per person, including young children, which felt a bit expensive for the experience offered. The plums and peaches were excellent, and the picnic area was nice. However, there was no water available, and the staff member at the front wasn't able to tell us where to find any. Overall, it felt like the weekday experience lacked attention to guest services. In comparison, Urban Edge Farm, just a few minutes away, offered outstanding service, high-quality produce, and complimentary rides, making for a much more enjoyable visit.

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.

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.

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. Thank you for a decade of memories, sticky fingers, full buckets, and happy hearts. Already counting down until next cherry season! Now to pit them and make a fresh cherry pie..... $4.50/pound

Came…read moreon a Sunday nearing the end of cherry-picking season and was surprised that the trees were still filled with ripe, beautiful, and sweet cherries. Tips/Additional Information: - Do make sure to come early in the morning. Crowds start coming in at around 9:30 which means fewer cherries for everyone. - The current price is $3.50/pound - Go to the back closer to the edge of the field, that's where you will get the most quality cherries. - Don't pick the cherries out in the sun as delicious as they look, they are usually smaller because the water moisture has been sucked out of them. Overall, such a fun activity for a weekend morning. Definitely will come back again for more!

I had never picked cherries before. The gentleman, who I assumed is the owner, was kind enough to…read moreshow me the different types of trees. He also told me about heading toward the back of the orchard if I wanted other varieties. The place is clean and flat, no issues with tripping on ground with divots, like some other places. I went during the week (Tuesday) and there were only a few other pickers near me. Now on to the cherries! They are very sweet, and so delicious. This will be my go-to pick place. I just hope I am back in the area before all the trees are stripped. Highly recommend for couples, families, or solo trips such as mine was.

They also have a bunch of other fruits like pluots which is awesome. It can be a longer walk to get to all the fruits depending on where you park because the parking area is a long road you just park on the side perpendicular to it. I also didn't see a potty near by which was difficult. At $4 a pound, I may be back.
