Cherry Picking in LA

Hi Cherry Pickers!

Wow! The Bings and Rainiers are now perfect! This weekend (June 14th and 15th) and next weekend (June 21st and 22nd) will be be great for picking. We just opened up about 1000 Bing and Rainier trees this last weekend and will open another section of about 1000 trees this weekend. We have lots and lots of ripe cherries so come join us for cherry picking fun!

We do suggest you put on your sunscreen, wear a hat and closed toed comfortable shoes to make your picking more enjoyable. We do sell water but you might want to bring some along. Remember, we have buckets for you to pick with and paper bags to take your cherries home in (paper is much better than plastic to let your cherries breathe so they will last longer). All of our varieties of cherries are the same price, $3 per pound--the same price we have been for the last three years. We accept credit and debit as well as cash for your convenience.

For other tips and for great cherry recipes visit our web site at www.upickcherries.com.

This weekend and next week end should be perfect for picking! And don't forget, if you'd rather avoid the crowds, you can come picking during the week. We are open every day from 8am to 6pm. If you have questions you can always email us at info@upickcherries.com.

Come join the fun!

Thanks to all of you who have visited. It's been great meeting you and seeing old friends we've met before.

Pick Cherries in Southern California

Hi Cherry Pickers,

The cherries are sweet and ripe and Gary is ready at the ranch so, we are opening for picking tomorrow--Saturday, May 24th. We will be open all weekend--the 24th, 25th and 26th. The weather has cooled off so it should be great cherry picking weather! It is still a great idea to put on your sunscreen and wear a hat. It can warm up quickly. I'd also suggest throwing a sweater in the car in case it is a little cool.

We just posted the new pictures of the cherries on the web site, www.upickcherries.com. About 1000 of the trees are super ripe and the rest are coming along. We have lots of local raw honey too!

If you can't come this weekend, we will be open from 8am to 6pm every day from May 31st thru the 4th of July weekend. Don't forget we have 25 acres so we love large groups. With 25 or more people from your charity or church, we are happy to donate 10% or your purchases back to the charity right on the spot. Ask us for details when you come to the orchard.

Any other questions, feel free to email me any time. Our cherry hotline also has details of our day and time openings. Our cherry hotline number is 661 270-1356.

Be ready for some great cherries and great fun! See you at the ranch!
