We had the best time at windy ridge cherry orchard, I could not recommend it enough…read more It is such a cute family owned farm where we were able to pick our own cherries! Everyone was super friendly and gave us buckets and some tips for picking cherries. We then walked a short distance to the cherry trees where there were so many cherries to pick. You can also take a tractor ride over to the cherry trees if you would like. When we were done they had a cute picnic area where you could bring your own food or buy something from them! Overall this was an incredible experience. It was not too busy so there was plenty of space for us to get as many cherries as we wanted and secure a picnic table for lunch after.

The owners are the sweetest! They invite you into their farm like family. It was a warm day and…read morethey offered us water and pointed us to the shaded picnic tables. They also take you on a cute little tractor ride to the top of a hill where the cherry trees are. Pros: The owners, the trees are pruned short so there is no problem reaching cherries for little ones or adults, they have some farm animals, and they have bing and ranier cherries. Con: The only con is that the cherry trees are younger and therefore the cherries are on the smaller side. They are still sweet and delicious. I can't wait until the trees get bigger - this will be THE cherry picking spot in Leona Valley.

The strawberries were delicious and all the root vegetables and corn were fresh. We had been seeing the IG posts on their marigold harvest and were fortunate enough to time our visit for fresh flowers. The fall and Dia de los Muertos displays were beautiful and festive. Though it was very busy, everyone was nice and helpful. There is plenty of parking in the dirt lot and portable restrooms are available. If you are looking for a wonderful fall picture opportunity and some lovely fresh flowers this harvest weekend is a great time to pay a visit.

I haven't been back here since COVID occurred, but I'm so happy to have come back here to…read moreexperience cherry picking again! I came here with family on a weekend, and due to the large crop bloom, there was a BOGO deal going on this year where if you buy 1 bucket, you get another bucket free! It 's always extremely hot whenever we come here as it would be usually in the summer months. I suggest being prepared because you walk up a small incline in between rows of cherry trees, so being hydrated is necessary. Parking and entrance is free, instructions are given by staff and they lead you to where to go to begin picking. General rules include no eating the cherries inside, no yanking cherries off of branches (leaving stems behind help them grow again), and for the BOGO deal, you must fill up an entire bucket. Now, it can be pricey because it's currently at $6.50 a lb (.50 cents increase compared to pre-covid) and I think a bucket can contain at LEAST 10-12 lbs. So you need to shell out at least $65 in order to do the BOGO deal for example. A staff actually said that a bucket might cost about $85 each when I asked. We didn't do the deal because that would be too much for our small family, so I think this is optimal for large groups! We ended up paying $48 for our bucket and we went our ways. Good for a quick hour. Too long and you may overheat from the heat! - bring own water, bottles sold onsite are $2 each - local honey is also sold - 2 lbs minimum for adult to purchase - overall fun and unique experience! - always double check dates and times, sometimes they close at 1/2pm!

Service was very no frills - it is a small stand on the side of the road (almost missed it when driving here). I think because we went during the beginning of the peach season, there were only peaches and apricots for sale. I believe that they take cash only so keep that in mind when you come here! There is plenty of parking on the side of the road.

Bloom Attended…read moreSunday Jazz Brunch 8/9/26. Loved the "farmers market". So many items available for purchase. Kelly and Heather were more than helpful in providing a short tour of the market and assisting me with my purchases. Brunch was organized with plenty to eat and drink. Staff at the market and the brunch were abundant, friendly and courteous. Staff made the visit even more special. Food was fresh, hot and better than expected. Three types of mimosas were available and were overflowing. Staff made sure we had water and ice. It was HOT! The owner, Dr. Bill Releford, gave a welcome and background about the largest Black-owned ranch in LA County. A saxophonist played and took requests and there was also a raffle. Shuttle service to and from the parking lot was appreciated by guests. Some of my party took the shuttle from Inglewood. Parking was at a gated location. The driver, Amber, got us to the ranch early and back to our cars safely. Official Transportation (310) 295-9105 was the provider and I enjoyed interacting with both Amber and Madeline. I thought I'd be able to pick peaches but the staff had already picked them for us. So, I just had to purchased what I wanted to take home. I was grateful because it would have been too hot for me to be in the midst of the farm picking peaches myself! After brunch, I actually became over heated. Debra Releford, Dr. Bill's wife, saw me and realized I needed assistance. Bless you Miss Debra! You and your staff attended to me an I felt safe and well cared for! I made a note of the names of some of the staff that tended to me: Allie, Chris, Lance, Michael and Nick. To you all and those that I missed thank you!!! If it's not already there, Bloom Ranch Sunday Jazz brunch should be added rib to your "to do" list.

We always make sure to stop here if we're passing by. They have fruits, veggies, nuts, candy,…read morehoney, and some decor, amongst other things. They are pretty fairly priced but it can add up quickly if you get too excited getting a bit of everything. We like to come by during berry season. We also come for pumpkin season. They have a few rows of fruits where you can shop and pick yourself. Sometimes they will also have pre selected boxes where you can't swap, just take as is. I do think it's better to pick your own fruit. We've gotten pre selected boxes before and haven't had great luck, with some fruit being old and on the verge of expiring. Good to know: they have a giant pokeball for decoration by the parking lot, which makes a good photo op for kids (and adults too).

I brought my bf here for the first time recently and he marveled over all the frozen appetizers. Additionally, I've gotten sugar-free chickpea cookies here that I would easily buy again.

I decided to go check it out for myself. What a find. First of all, it's not one store. It's a little international mini mall. And every single one of the merchants stores is occupied. There is a watch in time piece store. There's an international gift store. There's a dry cleaners and shoe repair. There's a kosher meat store. And I'm not sure what all else but it wasn't just a location for a grocery store. And then I walked into the grocery store and Man was I impressed. The store was laid out beautifully in a very old-school fashion where you could see all the cans in the aisles. The store proudly displayed seafood sign. Meat sign. And fresh vegetables. It was very easy to navigate the aisles as they were not overcrowded with promotional merchandise like most grocery stores. The other thing I like about this stores that you could actually touch the produce. Reminiscent of what you could do before grocery store started wrapping everything in plastic And on top of that I got three porterhouse steaks for $41. That is crazy cheap. This might be the first time I've come to the store in person but it's not gonna be the last.
