A hidden gem and one of the best family experiences around! We had an absolutely amazing time at Sumnist Tangerine Farm and will definitely be coming back. For just $25, you get a bag that you can fill with whatever is in season. During our visit, we picked tangerines, oranges, lemons, and limes, but they have a great variety depending on the time of year. The orchard is huge, and one of my favorite parts was the owner's philosophy: everything you can eat while you're on the property is included. We definitely took advantage of that and enjoyed fresh fruit right off the trees. It doesn't get any fresher than that! The property is beautiful, the parking was easy, and the whole experience was relaxing and family-friendly. We saw plenty of families with strollers, and the walking paths were wide enough to navigate comfortably. Just keep in mind that much of the orchard is on a hillside, so I highly recommend wearing comfortable tennis shoes or closed-toe shoes for better footing and to protect your feet. One tip: their hours are limited (I believe they're only open on Saturdays and Sundays), so I'd recommend arriving early, especially on warmer days. You'll beat the heat, have the best selection of fruit, and enjoy the orchard before it gets busy. This is so much more than just buying fruit--it's an experience. We'll absolutely be bringing our friends and family back because it was such a fun way to spend the day. Highly recommend if you're looking for fresh citrus, beautiful scenery, and a memorable outing! read more

It's not about the price, but about the experience. We enjoyed our time in nature and had some field-eating to our heart's content as we picked our mandarins and filled our bag too. Although we showed up near "closing" time, we did not feel rushed. There were multiple families still picking and others just enjoying the park/shade area. For $20 to fill an 8lb bag, and no admission fee, we found it to be very much worth it. The trees are on a hill so there is a bit of a hike involved but we were aware of it ahead of time. Plan accordingly, bring proper shoes and water! read more

Found this farm on Groupon. Bought a deal for admissions. Regular admission fee is $5 per person. Then you can fill up an 8lb bag with Tango Tangerines for $20 or $2.50 a pound. The drive to the farm was easy on a dirt road once you're on Avenida Del Oro, go through the entrance gate to the paved parking lot. You'll see the owner, Mr. Yu hanging out at the tables. He scanned our Groupon and gave us each a bag. Said no rules, we can go anywhere on the property. Also gave us a small bottle of freshly juiced OJ. I had my elderly mom with me and Mr. Yu suggested that we drive back out near the front entrance where the grounds are level. Otherwise, it would be too steep for my mom. I'm so glad he suggested this because we didn't have to hike up a slope, not many people come this way so there were many large tangerines up for grabs! Tips: -Sun hat -Sunscreen -Sunglasses -gloves -Closed toe shoes (slippery when wet) -Tools for easy snipping or to grab the ones up high -Gently twist, don't pull the fruit -You can sample while you pick! -Clean restrooms -pay at the end Over 35 acres of tangerines, the very top of the hill are avocados, the trees in front of the parking lot are lemons and on the other side are blueberries. The video you see on You Tube or their website is outdated. They do not have a restaurant or wedding area but they are working on rebooting this. The tangerines are so juicy with a mix of sweet and sour. They have limited hours on Saturday and Sunday only from 10-2. The Groupon deal asked for reservations. I wasn't a fan of this just because things could change so I sent an email asking how strict and got an automatic reply, same as the last with a form to fill out reservations. I wish it was more personable. When I got there, he only cared about scanning the Groupon. So I don't think they are strict if you were to just show up without a reservation. Be on the lookout for snakes!!! Stick to the trees that you can clearly see through the branches. Avoid the ones that are all bushy as if something could be hidden there. My mom saw a snake coiled up on the branch when she was about to stick her hand through. read more

Very good experience . They mentioned they have fruits available to pick from April to November .

It was a very nice day and a neat experience picking our own tangerines, the trees are still full of tangerines! The owner was very nice and friendly. He made recommendations and provided us with super delicious tangerine juice. read more

Loved the tangerine juice, employees kindness on Mother's Day weekend, and of course bringing home a giant bag of tangerines that are our favorite. We enjoy coming back year after year! read more

We had such an amazing time here. The farm itself is a nice stroll and the trees were gorgeous. We had a lot of fun picking the tangerines. The owner was very chill and even prepared fresh tangerine juice that was ice cold. They were so refreshing to drink after walking around for awhile on the farm. Worth the drive! read more

This was our third time visiting Sunmist Tangerine Farm, and we always have a great time. The owner is super friendly, and the tangerines are really sweet. You can pick and eat them for free while you're there. They don't use any pesticides. The farm is big and open, so the kids have lots of space to look around and pick their own fruit. It's fun, relaxing, and makes for a special day together. A big full bag of tangerines is just $20, which is a great deal for how fresh and tasty they are. The owner takes cash, Venmo, and Zelle, which makes paying easy. We'll definitely be back again! read more

This was a little spur of the moment trip. We had other plans that day that I did not realize needed a reservation, so now I was not able to go for a few weeks. So, off we went to try something new and went to pick tangerines at this little farm. We were immediately welcomed and the process was explained to us. You can pick lemons for $1.50/lb or tangerines for $2.50/lb and you can choose between a ten pound bag or a fifteen pound bag. I thought ten was plenty so we went with that. To the left when we started walking up the hill I did see a number of tangerine trees that were loaded with them. But, it was quite steep and we didn't try that. The gentleman did explain that a lot of the more ripe ones would be at the top/back of the area because not many people had been going back there due to the heat. We worked our way up and did get a nice workout from that. On the way there I did see a number of lemon trees, but I didn't come for lemons today. We spent a while picking out tangerines. There were a lot of spotted ones or too ripe ones so it took us a bit, but there were so many tangerine trees to choose from. Since tangerines are tiny, it took a while to fill the bag and we didn't fill it to the very top. It started getting heavy. Be careful during your trip here and during picking because the area does have a lot of steep slopes, so go slowly to avoid falling. My guess is that these ten and fifteen pound bags are more for comparison on lemons, because we didn't feel the ten pound bag all the way and we reached 12.5 pounds when it was weighed on the scale. I have never had so many tangerines in my life so we better get to eating! I had read on other reviews that there is an entry fee of $3 per person on top of the fruit weight but we were not charged. I am not sure if that was missed or if that changed. No credit cards accepted but they do take Zelle and Venmo. There are bathrooms available and there is a stand for juices and stuff that I did not check out. I do know they have a passion fruit drink with boba though, that I almost purchased a full size of. We were provided with samples when we entered and it was good. I had a nice visit here, and it was peaceful as well. Staff was friendly. read more

My family had so much fun here. We drove up a windy road to the farm (one part of the road wasn't paved but it wasn't too bad for our little Honda Accord). The owner was such a nice man. He let us park our car on their driveway and also offered my son some free fresh, squeezed juice. It's $20 for a bag and you can fill it with the tangerines yourself. He also offered us complimentary wifi since you get no service up there. The owner said that there's a trail closer to the gate entrance that's easier to pick the tangerines at, it's not as steep. Otherwise, you will be hiking up a path that gets a little steep in certain parts. My recommendation is to bring with you a fruit picker tool as some of the fruit is hard to reach since most of the trees are on a slope. Make sure to wear some good shoes; the trail is dusty, rocky, and has a lot of old fruit that fell from the trees. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't packed at all. It felt like we had the whole orchard to ourselves. A lot of the trees still had so much fruit. The tangerines tasted really good, sweet! Highly recommend! read more

Not recommended for families because their stuff are so rude to families and specially kids,

We went tangerine picking at the farm and had a pretty fun experience. Google maps was able to get us to the main gate and we were able to park in a paved area near the main building. When we got there, we were given samples of tangerines to see if we like the fruit and would like to pick our own. This was a nice touch. We then headed over to the tangerine trees, which were literally everywhere around us, and started trying tangerines from different trees to find a sweet one. Honestly, as long as the fruit was ripe, pretty much every tangerine was sweet, so you can't really go wrong. But it was definitely fun getting to eat the juicy tangerines right off the tree. We paid $20 for about 25 tangerines. read more

Very Beautiful. Went to go pick tangerines with my family. They taste delicious. Highly recommend. read more

Not a great experience. This was a Groupon purchase but was a bit deceiving. It was a great hiking & picking experience. Only you don't get to keep anything you pick unless you pay an additional $30 to $40. They don't really mention that until you finish climbing the very steep rows of fruit orchards. The gentleman in charge was very nice and hospitable but the arrangement should be explained in a little more detail. All in all we paid $3 for a $10 Groupon which included a very small bottle of juice. We drove 40 miles, climbed steep roads and even steeper fruit groves, picked 2 bags of lemons & tangerines, and paid an additional $20. Which was originally $30 before some negotiation. I would not repeat this activity. read more

Great place to pick tangerines and lemons. It is beautiful. However, the slopes are quite steep. So come prepared. Kids will have difficulty picking tangerines as the slopes are quite steep. Still a great place for kids to come and enjoy. The tangerines are absolutely delicious. And the juice is just so good despite its cost of six dollars. The tangerines are a bit expensive as well- BUT they are absolutely delicious. Parking is ok but it can get crowded so plan on coming early and make sure to reserve your spot by calling or email- They will still let you in even without reservation if there is space. I will be coming back here often- read more

Really beautiful farm and great at u-pick experience. The fruit is absolutely delicious - without a doubt the tastiest tangerines I've had in my whole life. The lemons are the perfect balance of sour and sweet. The smell of the citrus blossoms in the air is intoxicating at times. One of the best parts about u-pick at Sunmist is that they don't price gouge. Some other farms in the area charge ridiculous prices. I get that businesses want to diversify their income through agritourism, but from what I researched about other place nearby are kind of outrageous. I have mad respect for the owners of Sunmist for making a visit to their farm accessible. Like others have noted in their reviews, the property has some steep hills, so it might be tricky for some folks to navigate certain areas of the property. Also because of the steep hills, wear functional shoes and clothing in case you slip and get dirty. There were hardly any other people visiting Sunmist the day I was there, and it was a weekend! Check out this gem before too many other folks discover it. You may just have the whole place almost entirely to yourself! read more

This farm is so cute and it's pretty big. There's a lot of tangerine and lemon trees. There's also a couple of vines filled with wine grapes. These three are the fruits you can pick at this farm and for a really good price. I used Groupon and got in for only $2.40. They are open for only four hours from 10am - 2pm. They have bags and wagons for picking and at the end you pay per pound for how much you pick. You can also try the fruits yourself while picking. Me and my boyfriend had a wonderful time here. The tangerines and grapes were so sweet and ripe. The lemons were sour of course. It can be a little difficult to pick since a lot of them were overripe or underripe and it's not too easy to climb up and down the slope to pick the oranges and lemons but it was still fun. The owners were really nice and gave us the tools needed to pick the grapes and some nice tips about eating the fruit. Be wary of the bugs though. I would definitely come back again and probably bring my parents here since this something they definitely want to do. read more

Cute tangerine farm! The staff was friendly and the fruits were juicy and tasty. I did read reviews to bring proper shoes but I didn't bring my hiking shoes. If you're reading this bring proper shoes! The best fruits are not right along the path and it can be slippery. We got 2 bags and they were so heavy I swore it was gonna be $100. Ended up only being 20 pounds total and we'll be having citrus for a few weeks probably. The boba lemonade was so refreshing after. Minus one star only because $2 for a cup of water. Hahaha. All in all not a bad way to spend an hour and I would recommend making a stop in. Cash or Venmo only and there is a Groupon for entrance right now read more

Not good -- bought Groupon to pick no one ever returned calls or emails to schedule which appointments are required!!!

Very nice farm . You can take your family and pet enjoy your day! Good experience to pick tangerines. Will back with my friends soon !
