Comments Off on Your favorite time of the year has arrived! It’s U-pick Time!

The highly anticipated Cherry U-pick season has arrived, and we are thrilled to announce the opening of several cherry orchards this weekend! Unexpected cool temperatures have caused a delay in the ripening of our fruits, causing the arrival of cherries to be much later this year, but that also means that we will have cherries for you to u-pick well into June! 

Additionally, we are delighted to introduce a brand new farm experience this year, u-pick mulberries! With both white and red mulberries available, visitors can revel in the opportunity to “shake & pick” these sweet and delicate berries. If you’ve never tasted a mulberry, this is an experience you won’t want to miss.

Enjoy a variety of u-pick options this weekend like strawberries, cherries, and mulberries. With these three fantastic u-pick options, visitors are encouraged to explore and indulge in Harvest Time’s farm-fresh flavors.

 

Here are a few important TIPS 

We want you to have the best experience when you visit, so please read the tips and follow the recommendations. 

  1. Check our website: Check the Farm status at https://harvestforyou.com/interactive-map/ to help you plan your trip. Our “Interactive Map” displays farms that are OPEN at the time you are viewing the map. Each farm can set their farm status to OPEN or CLOSE, and is displayed on the map in real-time, so please check this map OFTEN. The “All Harvest Time Farms” map will show all Harvest Time farms for visitors that like to plan their visit.
  2. Check Brentwood’s weather before leaving home: Brentwood’s temperatures range from 5-20 degrees warmer than other parts of the Bay Area, so please dress accordingly. Check Brentwood’s weather HERE. 
  3. Dress Appropriately: Remember, you are visiting farms. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for outdoor activities. Opt for breathable fabrics, a hat, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. (Open-toe shoes or heels are not recommended)
  4. Stay Hydrated: Bring water to stay hydrated throughout your picking excursion, especially during hot days.
  5. Bring a cooler: It’s always a good idea to bring a cooler to maintain the fruit’s freshness.
