My little is not a cherry eating person, but he sure did like picking them! He has gone apple picking and now cherry picking, and I love that my MIL has these ideas for him to venture out and try new things and experiences that I don't think of. He had a blast, got to see how they grow and we had some yummy cherries for our trip home and for snacks. He may not eat them, but we did! read more

Awesome experience. Delicious cherries. Pets are welcome so additional points for that. Will definitely be returning.

We found this u pick fruit farm while driving to Yosemite. There was a sign pointing to turn right so we decided to check it out. There was a fruit stand in front of prepackaged fruits with pricing and a box. The owner came out and asked us if we'd like to pick some fruits. They had soooo many fruits when I asked her what kind. She said the field was so big that we'd have to walk around and see. There were peaches, grapes and plums all in the first stretch. I'm not even sure what else she had because their field was so big. I could get lost in it the whole day. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend coming here. It's very casual and was not crowded when we went. Price was $3/lb for anything. read more

Due to the late May rain we got this year, it caused many cherry fruits to split making it very expensive at $7 per pound. With Brentwood being so crowded these days, going there has become less attractive. That is where Harris Ranch came in. After blueberry picking at Ripon - http://aroundthebayandaway.blogspot.com/2019/06/fruits-of-our-labor-in-ripon.html, we went 3 miles down and was pleasantly surprised that even at 11AM, there were only a handful of cars in the lot and baskets of rainier cherries, my favorite for sale. We opted for U-pick at just $3.75/lb and an hour later had over 4 lbs worth of beautiful rainier cherries. I hope to return when the peaches or pluots are ready. read more

Super cute place to go fruit picking. They have a variety of different fruits to choose from depending on the season. This was my first time, but I loved the experience and wandering through the orchards and finding which fruits were ripe and ready to be picked! When I got home, I had to try the fruits right away and since they were ripe, they were super sweet and juicy! During this time they had apricots, peaches and cherries! I will be coming back more often! If you're planning on going in the summer, arrive early before the heat settles in. Also, bring a hat and sunglasses! read more

Such an awesome cherry picking experience! My family came out to Lodi for a camping trip and were so happy to find out Harris Orchards was still open for cherry picking. It's a nice family owned fruit farm that does different u-pick fruits seasonally. We left with about $35 of cherries and had a wonderful time. The gentleman who helped us out also gave us some apricot plums that were quite tasty. I loved the ease of the entire experience and the kids enjoyed strolling through the cherry trees. I'd definitely recommend a stop if you are nearby. read more

We were a bit disappointed. We left with muddy shoes, small peaches and their prices were high. The person who helped is was friendly.

If you're coming from the east bay its a bit far but it's so worth it. We went cherry picking in Brentwood a week ago and thought it was good. Then we came here on a whim after blueberry picking and we're so glad we did! Their orchard has a variety of cherries that are super ripe. Their coral cherries are my favorite - deep, dark burgundy and full of flavor. They have two sides to their orchard. I would recommend going across the street first and going far into the orchard first to begin picking. Find trees that you like and get as much as you can. Then go to the other side to pick and try other varieties. Although all cherries were great we loved the ones found on the otherside a lot more. Yes, at $5 per pound they are more expensive than Brentwood but once you eat their cherries you forget about the price. They take credit card and provided buckets and bags. Masks during covid are required. Go early because it can get hot. read more

Harris Orchards - Super ripe, huge coral cherries! - Pick Your Own Farms Near Me - Ripon, California

This year the season started a bit late, on May 19th. We came during the Memorial Day weekend this year 2018. Arrived around 9:30AM and there were 5-6 cars parked. Some people were buying cherries from the stand, some are going for U-Pick. I would highly recommend doing U-Pick because it's so much fat, especially for kids. You can go around and try as many cherries as you want (though if you eat too much you may get diarrhea or gasy). What you pick to take home cost $3.50/pound. You can easy spend 2 hours exploring and eating. Our main target was the Rainier cherry, which were scattered on both sides of the main house (where the fruit stand is). What I love most about U-Pick is the fact that you can be extra picky and only bring home the best of the best :) Tips: 1) Bring cash 2) Come early (it opens at 8:30AM) to avoid the heat read more

Owners are very nice and prices are great.. they provide buckets to pick and bags to take whatever you purchase

Drove by the Harris U-Pick sign on the way to Yosemite. The owner was friendly and told us to check out various areas of the orchard for good cherries. The kiddos had such a great time checking (aka tasting) out the few varieties of cherries. What a great rest stop to stretch your legs and got some cherries while you're at it. Will definitely return when peaches, plum and apricots are in season soon! read more

Had a lovely time. Picked up cherries. Very reasonably priced compared to Brentwood. Highly recommended.

Harris orchard is a nice family owned cherry orchard. They have a lot or dark sweet cherries and the yellow ones. Unfortunately the yellow one weren't ripe yet, those are my favorite. But the kids had a great time eating all the cherries they can eat and running around. They should consider adding a stop sign since some of there trees are across the street, and a safety concern esp for the kids. Free parking Free entrance $3.75 per pound read more

This place is such a gem for U-Pick Cherries and Fruits. I was looking far and wide for a place to pick rainier cherries and I'm glad I chose this place. First of all, the worker at the farm stand was very nice when we entered and cleaned/sanitized our picking buckets for us (COVID-19). The farm itself is huge and I'm happy we get the leisure of going off on our own to pick. There were several other groups picking, but the farm is big enough to social distance. There is also some farm animals like ducks and chicken that you have to share your space with but they are so cute and overall unbothered by humans. Cherries were $4.50 a pound for me, but I recommend checking in with the farm stand worker when you get there. It's easy to find and the cherry picking process was so fun! My only qualm about this place is that they never pick up their phone and the voice message doesn't give much information. You can check their Facebook page, maybe you will be able to get some updates. My family and I just decided to go visit anyways and we were lucky that they were open. Here's the information I can give you: -They're open 9 AM-5 PM -They have red cherries and rainier cherries right now (End of May 2020) -Peaches and nectarines are ready "in a few weeks" -There are Port-O-Potties on-site The experience is worth it! My favorite cherry picking farm so far! read more

Low key pick your own fruit place. Priced well. I came here on a scorching hot high 90s summer day with the scorching sun. We were the only ones picking. The place looks family owned. There's a cart out front with signs and all the picking stuff needed, baskets and produce bags, etc. There's a scale and some pre picked fruit if you just want to buy. Fruits available were grapes, yellow peaches, an apricot and plum hybrid, and pomegranate. We came too late for some of the other fruits. It was fun walking the lines of fruits. I was impressed that I didn't see a single insect on the trees, it even an ant. And believe me, I was looking. It made me wonder what insecticide they use on the trees. After you pick fruit there's a nice set up of picnic tables and chairs under a large tree for shade. There's also a portable toilet with a sink. read more

You want cherries? This is an excellent choice. They currently have the Best pickings! First time coming here and we were highly impressed. Very friendly, courteous, and helpful service. I believe that there is sufficient parking for a good number of families at a time. They have about 8 acres of cherry trees with full ripe cherries. I believe they opened for the first pickings last week, so all the trees had many cherries on the bottom branches, easy for my youngest to reach. Overall it was a fantastic family experience. Paid a fair price. Bought these delicious fresh dark cherries at 3.50 lb., good deal for the quality. We definitely look forward to returning. They open seven days a week and until 6pm today (Sunday). They confirmed that they will be open on Memorial Day as well. Helpful Tip: don't wear white or light colored clothing if you don't like stains. read more

This is an updated review based on a post here regarding owners. I've been coming to this orched for 4 cherry seasons. Always as a family, my kids, husband and I. Occasionally bringing friends and family. The owners are awesome, including the son. I'm assuming it's the same one from this mentioned post. He is the son that is usually there year after year. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion BUT....the owners are awesome. We've even had conversations after picking cherries while seated on the outside benches in front of the property. Random topics, hell even about solar panels. Not everyone takes a good conversation the right way. That's just how I've observed him to be. Loves to talk and very attentive with everyone. If you pay attention he can talk.! If u don't like it pay and walk away. Careful it's an Open field next to a road and open to public be safe and take care of ur kiddos. Not defending anybody, but I think you should learn to observe people very well and get to know them before you judge. read more

Went cherry picking. The people there are nice and polite. I recommend going though parking is limited.

100% best orchid experience ever. If you're near in town, or just passing by, don't miss this experiment. Incredibly kind family with the best fruit selection I've seen anywhere. Peaches, plums, pluots, cherries, grapes of many variety, pomegranates and so much more. read more

Really uncomfortable experience for us. If you go here make sure you go with a friend better if you go with bf/dad/husband/ guy friend. The owner son just stare at us inapproptiately. He keeps talking to us like he doesn't want us to leave. He keeps talking about odd topic out of the blue. Then we have 4 kids with us and we can't wait to leave because how he stares at me and my friend like were naked...!! read more

Didn't see it mentioned in previous reviews but this isn't an orchard you get to stroll in and enjoy taking your time. You're driven around in an atv with a flat bed from location to location through dirt roads, and then have an employee standing beside you the whole time you're picking striking up odd conversations. The fruit selections were cool but the experience was just super unexpected and odd. read more

Wow! Incredible orchard. We picked cherries, peaches, and nectarines, and they have plums, pears and other fruits coming soon too. Great for kids and adults. Michael and his mother are really nice, and Michael kindly shared a lot of really interesting facts about the orchard and the amazing things they grow. Highly recommend coming here. I will certainly be visiting them again :) read more

Came here on a Tuesday morning with family from New Mexico & Saudi, we were the first ones to come in. There is still a lot of cherries at the back of the house. The fruits are ready to pick, they got peaches,nectarine, apricots & plums for $2.00/lb. We enjoyed picking with our family. Would recommend it to my friends & family and we will definitely come back again next year. read more

A family member loves to pick fruit so we ventured out to Manteca. We looked and decided on Harvest after reading the reviews. It was late in the season (August) so we weren't expecting to find much. Surprise surprise surprise! What a find! We arrived and the hostess was at the front of the house. They have a small fruit stand out there as well for those who just want to purchase the fruit. She was working but stopped and greeted us. After some pleasantries, she led us out to the back where her farm was. The hostess was full of information as she guided us from tree to tree. After an hour and a half, we came back with several baskets of fruit, including plums, different types of peaches and even grapes in August. There is nothing like fresh picked fruit, ready to eat and so wonderfully sweet. The hostess and her husband (I may be wrong) were very friendly and it was fun being farmer for a day. Stop by if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed and you'll really enjoy the fresh picked fruit. read more

If you are looking for a good place with sweet cherries for picking and less crowded, this is the place to go. I have been going to Brentwood for cherry picking for few years and never knew that there is this ranch which is closer to us. The owners are super nice and we really enjoy our day there without a crazy crowded like in Brentwood. It feels good to support local business. We will definitely come back again. read more

My children and I stopped by here today to check out the fruit stand for cherries. When we found out we could pick our own, we were so excited! The orchard is huge and there's an endless amount of fresh cherries to be picked! We had so much fun....picked 8 pounds ourselves! The owner and her son were very friendly and helpful! I love supporting local, family-owned businesses such as this one. The prices here are great (only $4.00/pound to pick your own) but make sure you bring cash or checks, as they don't accept debit/credit cards as of yet. So if you're looking for something fun to do with your kids or just craving fresh cherries at a fantastic price, stop by this orchard! read more

Cherry picking was pleasant. It was peaceful and quiet. My friends and I had a great start to that day. I've been holding off for about a week now to write this review. After we had paid for the cherries we were offered a tour of the orchard by the owners son. He also took us to see his own vegetables that he was growing on his side of the property. We were driven around in a small four wheeler with an open bed in the back. Two of us sat on the bed while the third sat next to the tour guide. The beginning of the tour was interesting, he was explaining how different trees grew and repopulated. Then it turned for the worst. The owners son began to speak about very explicit content, going into detail and pulling examples from websites and videos he watches. He mentioned a street fair that occurs in June in SF, one that tends to hold certain fetishes. My friends and I were extremely uncomfortable with the nature of this topic as we had never met this man before and he decided to speak to us about it for reasons I don't comprehend. Eventually, after almost 20 minutes, he got the hint that we wanted to leave and we piled on the four wheeler and he drove us back to our car. I legit need therapy for how uncomfortable I was at that moment. Cherries were good though I won't lie about that. Avoid any tours they offer. read more

Kathleen and Charles are two of the nicest and generous hosts I've met. They were very welcoming to our family and Charles rode us around the farm on a mini tracker. Once we started picking the fruit it was easy to see the great effort and work that goes into the farm. Fruits and nuts were extremely juicy and tasty. Go here!!! read more
