Harvest Time in Brentwood announced this week that warmer weather has made for nice U-pick of cherries and other fruits around local farms.
According to Harvest Time, this is the last weekend for some of the cherry farms as they are being picked clean. However, thanks to warmer weather our cherries are at their peak ripeness, bursting with sweet and juicy flavor. This weekend promises perfect weather for a fun, family-friendly outing in the orchard.
Here are the varieties that will be available this week
- Lapin
- Sweet Hart
- Rainier (aka White Cherry)
- Santina
- Tulare
- U-Pick Other Stone Fruit
Peaches at Farmers Daughter
DID YOU KNOW THAT PEACHES FROM OUR ORCHARDS ARE MUCH TASTIER THAN STORE BOUGHT? Peaches picked directly from our farms are much more flavorful due to their optimal ripening process and freshness. Unlike supermarket peaches, which are often harvested early to endure long transportation and shelf life, farm-fresh peaches are allowed to ripen fully on the tree, absorbing maximum nutrients and developing their natural sugars. This tree-ripening process ensures a richer, juicier, and more aromatic fruit.
Here are other fruits available this week
- Peaches (White and Yellow)
- Nectarines
- Apricots
- Blackberries
- Mulberries
- Strawberries
- Sunflowers & Wild Flowers!
