So on Sunday morning at 6:10 am we left our house and got there at 7 am to pick some peaches. The sun had just risen and the orchard looked heavenly thru the peach trees. My husband and I picked a lot of peaches and some plums. I'll be making plum jam this week. But the peaches we enjoy eating as a snack, I also baked a peach galette. So delicious. The peaches are juicy and sweet. It was worth our time and money. We picked over 60 pounds. I have some to family and friends and the rest we are enjoying it daily. I even made a whipped ricotta and peach toast. Delicious. I'm hoping I will have time to go back again one more time this season. Customer service was great, a very nice and friendly family orchard .... Go support them if you are nearby. And you will love the peaches.

Definitely want to come back with the kids.

An easy 1-hour jaunt from Los Angeles, jlfarms' spacious cherry orchard features 50% Rainier cherry trees (yay!) as well as Lapin, Bing, and Brooks varieties. Cherry picking season at the farm opened on June 3 this year and typically runs several weeks. Cherries are $6/pound. It being our first time cherry picking, we weren't sure what to expect when we arrived late morning on the first weekend. What we discovered: cherry picking is EASY AND FUN FOR ALL! True to the farm's website, the trees are trimmed 7 to 9 feet, with fruit-laden branches within immediate reach for adults and kids alike. In fact, cherry picking is way easier than strawberry or apple picking! A friend's pint-sized little ones had a blast picking cherries, and the number and spacing of the trees made it easy to socially distance from other groups. Within an hour or two, we picked a whopping 20 pounds of cherries! In addition to feasting on sweet fresh cherries, we also made cherry pie and turnovers and froze some cherries for later use. IMPORTANT: BRING CASH. The farm is CASH ONLY, which is not listed on the website. Sunscreen is also good, as the area can get hot, windy, and dusty (although the trees provide a nice windbreak). PRO TIP: while all the trees had lots of cherries, heading to the rows on the side of the property can be especially fruitful (pun fully intended). The cherries were so thickly clustered that you can pick them by the handful! Other notes: check the farm's website https://cherriesupick.com and call 661-944-9903 for updates on u-pick dates and hours. Apricots were also ripe when we visited, and we were allowed to pick some.

On our way home from our first time cherry picking. I'm so glad I received an email notification…read morethat their cherry picking season just started this weekend. We decided to come and check it out on Memorial Day. (Yes they were open according to their website). We were thinking it would be in a secluded area but it was right off the main road. Definitely a great experience. My little guy had a blast picking the cherries off the floor and enjoying the great weather. It was a fun experience and I will definitely be coming back again. Pro's: very friendly staff that directed you to the best area to currently pick from. This weekend they had both renier cherries and apricots ready for picking. Not too crowded eventhough we got there around noon on a holiday. Plenty of ripe trees to choose from. Great weather. The cherries were a good size. Price is very reasonable. Porta potty on site if needed. Con's: no parking lot. Street parking only. If it gets busy you'd have to park and walk into the farm. Cash only. Due to Covid precautions they do not have a washing station for you to wash and try out the fruit or even wash your hands from picking the fruit.

Our group organizer asked everyone to arrive to the ranch by 9:30 a.m. My wife and I made the long drive from the Torrance, Ca area. Although the trip was lengthy, I was pleasantly surprised upon arrival by the warm welcome and helpful staff assisting with parking, which made for a positive first impression. We arrived to Bloom Ranch arriving at 9:30 a.m., after a long drive from the Torrance area. Despite the chilly 41-degree weather, the staff made everyone comfortable by welcoming our group inside to warm up before seating us outdoors. With about 100 guests in attendance, and heat lamps provided, the setup was well organized and accommodating. Guests were dismissed by tables to enjoy a brunch that was fresh, hot, and delicious. From eggs, grits, and waffles to a made-to-order omelet station, every dish was prepared perfectly. The attentive food crew ensured coffee and juice were served promptly and professionally. Adding to the atmosphere, a live saxophonist provided enjoyable music during the meal. After brunch, guests were invited to explore the Bloom Ranch Store, which offered a wide variety of goods including fresh eggs, greens, honey, butter, pantry items, harvest boxes, candles, vinegar, and more. The ranch also offers driving and walking tours of the beautiful property--an experience you look forward to enjoying on your next visit.

I bought broccoli, green tomato, peach and honey ginger vinaigrette, brown sugar scrub, sun dried tomato with garlic, honey in a jar, peach vanilla jam (taste just like peach cobbler) Can't wait to go back in the spring

Activity: They offered cherry picking and apricot picking for one price. It was $12 entry fee and then a price for how much cherries or apricots you picked. The cherries were end of season so there wasn't a plethora, but there was enough to bring home a few pounds! You just had to look closely for them. You can taste the cherries as well while you pick! We originally came for cherry picking, but ended up loving the apricot/plum hybrids that they grew. It was so incredibly sweet and I loved that they let us try it as we picked. We ended up taking home a lot of cherries and plumcots! They are all very delicious. After we finished picking the fruit, they weighed everything out for us and packaged it in some bags. It was nice because they took apple pay/credit card so I didn't have to worry about carrying cash. Parking: There is parking on the side of the road and we didn't have an issue finding it. It wasn't very crowded on the day we went.

My wife and I went out there today and got lucky with beautiful weather--one of those days where everything just feels right. We were told it's not a peak bloom year because of the weather, and sure, maybe it's not at its absolute best. But honestly? What we saw was still really nice. The lilac bushes that are blooming are beautiful, and more than enough to enjoy. The best part hits you right away. The moment you step out of your car, the fragrance starts--and as you walk through the grove, it just surrounds you. That classic lilac smell, strong but not overpowering, the kind that takes you back a bit. They have potted lilacs and fresh-cut bouquets available for purchase, so you can take a little piece of the farm home with you. And I've got to say--the people there really stood out. Everyone helping with sales and answering questions was genuinely friendly, super nice, and very informative about the farm and the plants. You can tell they care about what they're doing, and that makes the whole experience better. It's not a big, flashy place--and that's exactly why it works. It feels real, local, and relaxed. If you're thinking about going, do yourself a favor and call ahead to check hours and what's available: (661) 269-0910. Timing matters with something like this. Bottom line--maybe not a "perfect" bloom year, but still a very worthwhile stop. Sometimes you don't need perfect... just good, honest, and enjoyable.

You might not realize how huge and dangerous some of these birds really are, but they average about 9 feet to 12 feet tall and from 250 to 350 pounds. And, they can be quite deadly. During the mating season, the males will instantly try to attack you if you get close. They've got about 6 to 10 different ostriches in separate fenced off areas. If you pay a few dollars for a tour, they will walk you down and show you the different ostriches they have, as well as provide some pretty interesting ostrich facts. Their feet are crazy as they are the only two toed bird on earth. Looking at them it is easy to see how they are related to dinosaurs because it looks just like a dinosaur foot. You can also buy ostrich eggs if they have them available, which are equal to about 24 to 36 eggs. The flavor and consistency is actually pretty good as well and very similar to chicken eggs. They also sell honey and a bunch of other things. Also, in certain times of year, you can go and see the baby ostrich chicks that they raise. If you're feeling adventurous, this is definitely worth a trip, especially if you have kids. This has become a fun stop we started making on our annual visit to the California Poppy Preserve in Antelope Valley. I would call ahead and see what's going on with tours and everything else. Five stars.

FIVE STARS ISN'T ENOUGH FOR THE WOW FLOWER PROJECT!…read more From the very first Black Maternal Health Expo in 2020 to their brand new office at 38417 20th St E #A, Palmdale, CA 93550, the WOW Flower Project has truly been a source of healing, empowerment, and joy in our lives. I'll never forget being a glowing mama in their first-ever beauty pageant for pregnant moms--what a moment! But the magic didn't stop there. Fast forward to today, my daughter and her Amicettes youth auxiliary had a blast participating in the Self Love Series, where they made sugar scrub with the sweetest soul, Sarah! Meanwhile, I had the pleasure of relaxing and stretching out on the peaceful patio. It was exactly what I needed. From garden therapy and animal therapy to art therapy and powerful moments of meditation, WOW has created a space that truly feels like home. Every detail--from the lush greenery and meaningful art to the intentional programming--radiates care and community. Their yoga sessions are phenomenal, and the vibe is always uplifting, peaceful, and full of purpose. The WOW Flower Project is more than an organization--it's a movement. A sanctuary. A source of light and love dedicated to Black maternal health and mental wellness. Their mission to uplift, support, and educate Black mothers is felt in every corner of their work. Thank you, Ms. Waunette and the entire WOW team, for pouring so much love into our community. We see it, we feel it, and we appreciate you endlessly. Keep blooming!
