    It looks like bad customer service seems to be the theme this year at Peter Wolfe Farms. I had found this place a few years back because they had pre-picked loquats. First time out, we picked the loquats from the loose batch, last year, we did the same with the loquats and stayed for U-Pick white peaches and this year we showed up with the intention of getting both again. Since there was a family that was there the same time when we arrived voraciously picking through the loose loquats, it barely left any choice ones. I was able to fight my way through and got about 3 lbs worth. So we inquired about the ones in the crate and was told they run about 20-25 lbs. if you want to buy a box worth so I agreed. Here is where it went downhill. 1. They weighed it with the crate so your 25 cents a lb savings is ultimately null if you are not ultimately paying more 2. When I picked up the top bunch to look at them, I was rudely told I can't touch it, probably because they do not want you to see the layer underneath - red flag! 3. Instead of rounding down to the 1/2 lb, she rounded up to the 1/2 lb ultimately charging more in addition to that crate. 4. Even if you buy a case of over 20 lbs, what you picked from the loose batch is still the higher price. So ultimately you are paying more for a product sight unseen than if you pre-pick from the loose ones yourself. When I ask how much it is for white peaches, I was told $1.35/lb but I remembered from last year that they have a different higher price if you do not pick a full basket. With so many places for white peaches, I rather go somewhere else where I know what I am getting and paying for and not feel like a bait and switch situation. Even though I intended to pick white peaches from them, I felt so ripped off that I left and went right over to Nunn Better for cherries where they were so friendly and appreciated my business.

    Huge sweet white peach!!!!! Always the best one in Brentwood!

    This is my one and Only favorite white peach picking place!!! Me and my family have been going here for the last 10 years for their white peaches. Their white peaches are Really Big and Sweet comparing to other farms. We went to other farm for white nectarine today and saw their small and very green white peaches, felt quite disappointed. And when I entered the Peter Wolfe farm today, saw all the Big juicy white peaches, felt sooo happy:) Can't wait to come again for their white peaches!!!!! It's my first time write the review for the Brentwood farm cause I do feel they deserved the 5 stars review!

    Satsuma and Mandarin orange picking
    Tim Y.

    Came here for mandarin and satsuma orange picking. I think the prices were 99c/lb if you buy over 15lbs, and $1.50/lb for anything under 15lbs. There are ten long rows of "orange" trees. Half of them are were clementines and the other half satsumas. The ground can be a little muddy so don't wear anything nice. The two that we sampled weren't really that sweet but since we were there with the kids we just filled up a bucket. (15-18lbs) Fortunately, the oranges sweetened up significantly the week later. I read oranges aren't supposed to ripen after being picked but ours were definitely sweeter. Cash only. They help pour the bucket into a cardboard box for easy transport.

    The first significant rainfall for the Fall of 2010 wasn't enough to hamper the spirit of our tour…read moregroup as Shelly McMahon and her family (husband Connie and son Nick) welcomed us onto her 10 acre family farm in Brentwood. Shelly is in the business of raising hens for egg production. In fact, she estimates the total number of hens to be in the range of 1200. Her hens which are a variety of different breeds run around freely on an open pasture fenced off only to keep predators out. In addition to the natural grasses in the pasture the hens are fed with a custom blended mix of corn, oats, wheat and alfalfa. Although the farm does not have its organic certification yet, (It's in the works.) no pesticides are used on Shelly's Farm and no antibiotics are fed to her flock of laying hens. The hens are moved around on the farm to make sure there is always a supply of natural grass to feed on. Common to many egg farms chickens or hens often have their upper beaks clipped to minimize cannibalism among birds. The inhumane practice (that only being my opinion) of beak cutting is never practiced on this farm. Instead the hens here are carefully monitored and any problem birds are simply caught and segregated from the remainder of the flock. We arrived just as the rain began to come down heavily and just like many people do the hens took off running for cover. There is an enclosed structure where they can run in and out of to roost. I noticed many of the hens sat down and wiggled in the dirt. Some even rolled around. After witnessing that somewhat strange behavior and being completely puzzled it was explained to me that the hens bathe themselves by rolling in the dirt. How fun! As we walked further into the farm we were introduced to three mules raised on the farm, and as Shelly introduced each one of the mules by name they seemed to understand her and stood side by side providing the perfect photo op. Next, we were introduced to the hatchery where younger hens and baby hens are kept in order to mature. Be careful where you step because the curious young hens just might be at your feet checking out the latest footwear. Shelly picked up a baby hen and placed it gently in our hands to pass around. Seems the baby hens like to be gently stroked just underneath its beak. So comfortable this one I held made a whispering purr sound. I didn't take a photo of it fearing that my camera's flash would startle it. Once out of the hatchery we received a personal demonstration from Connie and Nick covering the final stages of farm fresh egg production. Nick explained to us that eggs are usually gathered at 6:00 AM each morning. Many of the hens are just waking up and are most docile at that time. Once the eggs are gathered they go through an automated process of cleansing. Each egg is individually loaded on a conveyor belt that takes the eggs into a chamber which houses a pair of soft whirling brushes. As the brushes gently scrub the outer shell a jet of cold water washes each egg then air dries it before setting it out onto a roller on the opposite end where the eggs are inspected and boxed. The process seemed very much like a car wash. Most of the eggs fall into the size of medium-large and most of the shells are brown in color depending on the breed of the hen. Occasionally Shelly will find an egg with a blue-green shell. She includes those in the packing process as the outside shell color does not effect the inside of the egg. Odd shaped eggs and super-sized double yolk eggs are not included in the packing but are sorted out. Shelly's pasture-raised eggs are sold to local markets and Whole Foods. She also sells her fresh eggs at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market in San Francisco on Tuesday and Thursdays, the Castro Farmers Market in San Francisco on Wednesdays, and the Brentwood and Danville Farmers Markets on Saturdays. The fresh eggs are sold for $6 per dozen and generally can be kept refrigerated for 1 to 2 months. In addition to the eggs Shelly grows a wide assortment of fresh culinary herbs, several varieties of hot peppers and tomatoes on her farm. She generously allowed members of our group to take home as many of the different fresh herbs as we could use along with some freshly picked jalapeno and New Mex peppers. Most of our group took home big bouquets of assorted herbs. She also sold us some fresh eggs picked on the same day at a substantial discount. I couldn't turn my back on that deal so I bought two dozen. The eggs have a darker red yolk and should not be hard-boiled for the egg whites will stick to the shell due to its freshness. Nothing to do on a rainy day you say? Don't tell that to Shelly's hens. Thanks to the McMahon Family for taking the time to host our group.

    The best, fresh eggs ever! Thanks, Shelly and crew for providing a superb local product.read more

    (3.5 stars, rounded up to 4)…read more The Urban Edge Farm is well-known for their peach and apricots during the summer time. But who said U-Pick season has to end after the summer? During the fall, they offer other U-Pick fruits, such as pomegranates, persimmons, and kumquats. Last weekend, we decided to try out their persimmon U-Pick. I initially found out about when their persimmon U-Pick would be available through an Instagram comment (there weren't any lnstagram posts or events on their website directly advertising this year's persimmon season), but I also double-checked by calling them the morning of before making the trek to Brentwood. The front of the farm area is a little store front, where you can buy fresh produce that's been harvested directly from the farm. This is also where you weigh your fruits after picking them. After completing the liability form via QR code, they drive you and your guests on a jeep to the fruit trees (and back). During the short drive to the persimmon trees, we also spotted baby cherry trees, a couple of pomegranate trees, and what appeared to be a grapefruit tree. As for the persimmons, there were about 5 Fuyu trees and 2 Hachiya trees. There were plenty of Fuyus available for us to pick. On the other hand, the Hachiya trees were quite bare so we only ended up finding and picking one that was ripe enough. At $4/lb for both varieties of persimmons, we ended up paying around ~$17 for 12 persimmons. The persimmons that were ripe enough to eat were nice and sweet. Getting the U-Pick experience without the summer heat and with reasonable prices was great. The only downside to this experience was the abundance of ants on the trees. The ants got on my hands, clothes, and even my face and the top of my head. The ants didn't appear to affect the quality of the fruit, since they were mainly on the branches and the tops of the persimmon leaves. I wasn't afraid of getting ants on me, but it was starting to get bothersome having to swat the ants away from my body and the persimmons I picked. I thought I had gotten rid of all the ants before leaving and getting into my car, but throughout the ride home, I spotted some straggler ants on my lap and arms, and even on the windshield! So take that into consideration if you're not particularly fond of ants.
