    This place is so cute!! We come every year and pick blueberries and strawberries. They have play structure, jump house, and lots of other fun stuff for the littles. It's free just pay for your berries ya pick. They serve ice cream and have buckets for berries if ya forget your own and everyone is so nice! I recommend this place to everyone.

    What a gem this place is. We have a family day every Thursday. And this past Thursday we took our boys here to spend some time picking berries. What a blast! You start off by picking a bucket. The boys each had to have their favorite color, and off we went. We hit the blue berry field first. Got off to a slow start, as the kids didn't really get that we could pick the berries. ;) But as soon as we showed them how it was done they where pros. By the time we reached the other side of the field each had a half bucket full. (the big bucket) So we dropped off the blue berries and headed back out. Next stop Strawberries! loaded up our buckets once again. After we finished picking we headed over to pay. They also sell local honey and more fruit from a farm down the road. Pie by the slice. 5 flavors of ice cream. $1 for a cup or cone, Ice tea, lemonade aid and water, all for $1. Oh and they have fresh blue berries and almonds you can add on top of your ice cream. If the berry picking wasn't enough, Jessop farms also has several play areas for kids. Jungle gym, bounce house, and boat sailing on a sea of blue sand. There is a putting green, basket ball court, tether ball and lots of areas to picnic and enjoy your day. We spent a grand total of $18.00 and got 2 lemonades, 4 ice creams, enough blue berries and strawberries to make pies, muffins and have ton left over to eat fresh, and a great day out side with our family. This is a must visit little gem. Don't forget your sun block and hats. :)

    I highly recommend this place if you're looking for strawberries were so sweet that they taste like candy! This spot is very family friendly, they have mini golf, picnicking areas, ice cream, local honey, almonds, and u-pick strawberries and blueberries. As already mentioned the strawberries are SO GOOD, but the blueberries were also delicious! I don't know if they do almond u-pick later in the season or if they're just for sale, but they have a ton of almond trees. I know I will definitely come back here during strawberry season next year! (Unfortunately this place is a couple hours drive from me otherwise I'd be back every weekend...)

    Highly recommended! You'll love this farm. It's great for families...especially with young kids. They got a playground with a bouncy house, mini golf, lots of shades for picnic, ice cream. Their strawberries are sooo plump and sweet and delicious. According to the owner, they don't spray their crop. Which is great!!! There is no fee in getting in. You pay by the pound of fruits you picked. Easy access. Off of Hwy 99, exit French Camp Rd then make a right on S Murphy and they're on your left side of the road.

    Any idea if they're open for the 2022 season? wanting to visit this Saturday 6/4/2022

    I went before Memorial Day weekend and it looks like they may be closed as all the parking spaces are torn up and no one was on site so not sure if they have permanently closed. When we inquired with another farm we visited it sounds like it is up… Read more

Throughout my life I've had lots of fresh apricots, and depending on the source these have ranged from bland to tart to sweet, but to make the claim that theirs was the sweetest on earth ... I knew I had to try these to believe it! Thanks to CUESA, the educational organization that runs the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, a group of us got to visit with farmer John Driver on his 10 acre apricot orchard recently. The farm doesn't offer public tours and these CandyCots are fairly exclusive so this might have been an opportunity of a lifetime to actually visit the farm. CandyCot apricots are bred varieties, grown under the hot Central Valley heat. The fruits which are smaller in size than the standard supermarket apricot are known for their pronounced flavor described by some as "spicy" and their high sugar content. Using a Brix rating system which measures dissolved sugars CandyCot ratings measure in the 20's and 30's while standard apricots are usually in the teens. Because it was a scorching 97 degrees outside John picked out a nice covered area to do a presentation for our group (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/m0I1TLmK568I29YBnfBlmA?select=f_SZnXa0FeKMeFhqbmA7Bw#RvTqNPe7kmfcGbhoA5vzqA) and give us the lowdown on his CandyCot fruits. John has traveled the world in search of truly sweet and flavorful apricots and in his introduction he brought up places like Kazahstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Central Asia. He gathers seeds, grows plant samples and grafts them together (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/m0I1TLmK568I29YBnfBlmA?select=f_SZnXa0FeKMeFhqbmA7Bw#Gm-KBNQISJJG_m8m9NN-0Q) in an attempt to recreate some of earth's sweetest fruit. These plants take many years of love and nurturing in order to bear fruit and John's patience and dedication to his craft has resulted in the sweetest apricots almost every member of our group would later agree that they had ever sampled. To prove this point John also has non-grafted California Blenheim apricots (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/m0I1TLmK568I29YBnfBlmA?select=f_SZnXa0FeKMeFhqbmA7Bw#zknyp7DAo6EMihCLeZHZLQ) on his orchard for skeptics like myself to sample and compare. Blenheims are the standard California apricots found in most supermarket produce sections. After a short talk and Q&A on soil conditioning, pruning and pest management John took us out onto the orchard and allowed our group to pick and sample fruit directly from the trees (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/m0I1TLmK568I29YBnfBlmA?select=f_SZnXa0FeKMeFhqbmA7Bw#3ZeeqGX8i2WPQ9JSCuHtZQ). For the record John prunes his trees using the letter V shape (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/m0I1TLmK568I29YBnfBlmA?select=f_SZnXa0FeKMeFhqbmA7Bw#4tm2_oBedWSHZwRi9G3OyQ) because it creates better airflow for his trees and the fruits seem to grow best this way. These were the Anya variety and we were instructed to pick anything that didn't have green spots. Many of the fruit had brown spots not caused by bruising as John explained but are actually natural indicators of the fruit's sugar content. The more browning on the fruit the sweeter the fruit. I picked one of those and bit into it without a second thought. The juice actually popped from the fruit and ran down my chin and all over my hands. Apricot heaven is what immediately came to mind. These apricots were beyond sweet and amazingly enough one could truly differentiate between the apricot flavor and the sugar content. As unbearable as the outside heat was I didn't want to leave that orchard. Thankfully, John allowed us to pick extras so I had fruit to take home to enjoy (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/m0I1TLmK568I29YBnfBlmA?select=f_SZnXa0FeKMeFhqbmA7Bw#9GydI61pdwGNnvQ6-1kIOg). CandyCots are currently sold either at the Saturday Ferry Plaza Farmers Market (only through July 7, 2012), select markets such as Save Mart and Whole Foods or through mail order. Check out their website for more details. Because of the high sugar content the fruits don't spoil as quickly and keep very well in the refrigerator.
