He also told me about heading toward the back of the orchard if I wanted other varieties. The place is clean and flat, no issues with tripping on ground with divots, like some other places. I went during the week (Tuesday) and there were only a few other pickers near me. Now on to the cherries! They are very sweet, and so delicious. This will be my go-to pick place. I just hope I am back in the area before all the trees are stripped. Highly recommend for couples, families, or solo trips such as mine was.

Tips/Additional Information: - Do make sure to come early in the morning. Crowds start coming in at around 9:30 which means fewer cherries for everyone. - The current price is $3.50/pound - Go to the back closer to the edge of the field, that's where you will get the most quality cherries. - Don't pick the cherries out in the sun as delicious as they look, they are usually smaller because the water moisture has been sucked out of them. Overall, such a fun activity for a weekend morning. Definitely will come back again for more!

I looked it up and they're actually open the next day. We wanted to give it a try because it's off the busy area and it's closer heading to Livermore area. Easy parking and close to the entrance. Staff were great and informative. It wasn't busy because I don't think people are aware of this place. So it was a relaxing time for my family while we were cherry picking. Definitely recommend this place next year!

My daughter and I found what looked to be an unpicked cherry tree and went to work. It didn't take long for us to gather a bounty of cherries, and there was tons of low hanging fruit that was super easy for a petite seven-year-old to reach. Special thanks to the Freitas staff member who told us to pick dark cherries. The bright red ones look appealing but they need more time on the tree! We took home seven pounds of cherries. They were $4/pound and they take cash or credit cards. I checked their website before heading here (and recommend you do too!). We'll definitely be back to Freitas.

We came for cherry picking over the weekend. Interestingly, Freitas asks you to sign a waiver…read morebefore you're allowed to pick. There was no signage indicating price/pound, and they give you a plastic bag to carry your cherries. When we got into the orchard, we noticed that most of the trees had been either picked clean or had berries that were rotten or too small/not ripe yet. We intentionally walked much further in to see if we could find some trees that hadn't been picked as much, but the orchard wasn't in great shape. We struggled to find cherries we actually wanted to pick, and we tripped a few times on the uneven dirt, weeds, and tubes running throughout. When we left, we weighed our cherries and confirmed they were $4/lb. Freitas also doesn't take credit card, so we had to pay with either cash or Venmo. We've previously been to The Cherry Pit and far preferred our experience there. The Cherry Pit had parking closer to the entrance, clear signage indicating price/lb, lots of high quality trees and ample cherries to pick, and accepts credit cards. The Cherry Pit also didn't ask us to sign a waiver before entering.

It's a bit hard to see from the road this farm, but theres a person sitting outside at the edge under an umbrella waving a flag. We drove down a gravel path and there was a stand set up and a trailer nearby. Plenty of parking! Theres primarily peaches and nectarines. The owner said they have 19 varieties and the way he planted the trees was the varieties that would ripen at the beginning of the season are closer to the front. Varieties that ripen later are at the back. The orchard is large! The owner was super friendly. He offers bags and cardboard boxes for you to carry your fruits, and recommends cardboard boxes so as to not crush your fruits. The peaches and nectarines are so fragrant and sweet here--sun-ripen, fresh from the tree. They are unlike the stores' where they pick the fruits too early and are not very fragrant. I would highly recommend coming here to support a wonderful, high quality farm!

You take a bucket with you and start picking right away! They also had strawberries this week but we ended up picking the cherries. Once you're finished, you can weigh it and pay. $4 per pound. It was worth it to me. I would recommend visiting during peak fruit season!!
