We were driving by on a road trip and saw this U Pick cherry orchard and decided to stop off. My…read morefirst concern was whether they take cards, as I'm not a cash carrier, and to my surprise they did. We arrived about an hour before closing and there were only a few other people picking cherries. We walked up and were told what to look for and what cherries to avoid. We were handed bags and told how far on the property we could venture. The price was around $6.99 a pound. It's more expensive than the store for bing cherries, but you can't beat the quality, freshness and supporting a family business. We picked cherries for about 20 minutes and of course took the opportunity to take some pictures. We picked about a pound and a half and were on our way. This was a great quick stop and we had a healthy snack on our road trip. I would recommend stopping if you are in the area.

Unfortunately, this Ranch--and all the rest I believe--are sold out for the 2022 year due to a small crop this year. But, in the meantime here's a few tips for next year's picking: *Follow them on IG at @UPICKCHERRIES for updates and picking info. *When they open a Ranch get there as early as you can. They tend to sell out fast--sometimes in less than a day! *If you're really serious, bring a small step ladder or someone tall to get the good stuff. *2022 prices were $6.25/lb, which ain't cheap, but you're paying for the experience :) *They take cash or cc *Parking lot is a dusty dirt lot, so don't go to the car wash ahead of time.

Site doesn't offer any bug spray, but maybe should? As far as Covid safety, only thing is a reservation system which limits attendees. About 8-9 rows so plenty of space to spread out, but it's self regulated. Some parents corral their Children and others don't so you're at mercy of others, or have to speak up. We also got chased down rows by an oblivious sneezing and coughing man who prob had allergies and wore a mask... No one from farm is monitoring people once in. No questions or temp checks for admittance, though email prob asks that you mind it. Also: expensive! Expect to pay about $20-25/gallon baggie, which holds about 3-4 pounds. Blueberries are delish. Ticks are not so be prepared.

Thankfully they were open because it was a bit of a drive to get here! The farm owner was friendly and helpful.

I didn't want to make the drive all the way to Brentwood to just pick cherries. But as my family…read moreand I was on my way to Gizdich Ranch for strawberries, we actually pass this Farm and was super curious about it. So on our way back home we went here and it was pretty cool. I didn't realize how close Morgan Hill was to the Cupertino/San Jose area (~30 miles or less). It was a great experience. The entrance to the parking lot is very clear but it's only one way so if you see parking just park there. I saw cars park on the highway road because it was full. First you check in to pay admission for adults ( kids under 4 feet are free) then they hand you the bucket and your on your way. It was a bit muddy because of the rain the past few days so make sure to wear shoes you don't care about. We were a bit lost as to where we were allowed to pull but we found our footing and it was a fun hour experience. You can eat the cherries as you pick. They don't care. There's a lot of cherries at the bottom of the tree as well as on top for the kids to pick. But because of the weather and rain I saw more baby cherries or cherries that weren't ready to ripe yet. Maybe next weekend it will be better. When you check out, they weigh it and bag it in a plastic bag for you. Morgan Hill downtown is very close to here so you could go there for lunch or walk around to complete your Morgan Hill experience but you'll probably have to make a UTURN to get there. Check online for hours!

The line to get in is usually long and the longer I have seen it is at the front of the entrance.

Island Berry Farms blew me away with their amazing berry quality and friendliness of the staff. The strawberries were most ripe when we visited in mid July, so we stuck with these. We were encouraged to taste as we picked (go a reasonable extent) and given our own cartons. It was only $5 per pound for strawberries, and I filled up 1.5 cartons for just about $5! I've never had such sweet, flavorful strawberries. I'll definitely be back - I'd love to try their tomatoes when they come into season. Make sure to bring cash/zelle and have closed toes shoes.

Remembered to look them up this year and wowwwwww, so glad I did. Mulberries are so fun to eat/pick and definitely worth the experience. What do mulberries taste like you ask? Think a cross between a blackberry and raspberry but with a hint of grape and maple syrup/honey. If you're hesitant to come because of the entry fee, don't be. You're not only paying for the experience but you're paying for AYCE mulberries! Also keep in mind that they taste THE BEST when eaten right off of the tree. If you do decide to take some home, don't forget to try them frozen! I can see Passion Gardens really blowing up as a family friendly activity and a U-Pick lovers paradise. Golf carts take you to and from picking site. Tarped picking areas so there's no dirt to worry about. Bathrooms are not porta potties and there's an area for kids to play. Gloves and trays for picking are provided.

We were saying we'd like to come back again with the rest of our family since the kids enjoyed it! We were told the golf cart will do their rounds to drop and pick people up. However, since the cart wasn't there yet & we needed to use the restroom close by, we decided to just walk to the restroom. And we can see the front from there so we decided we would just walk back after. A car was coming so I told my daughter to move in so the car can pass. *HONK HONK* as if we were running. She rolls down the window and starts giving us a huge attitude about how we are not suppose to be walking around "Stay right there!" She was so completely rude I knew it had to be none other than the owner because everyone else we encountered were so kind! Literally a family with small children just walking didn't need to be honked at. We were already stopped when she approached so she could have just rolled her window down and spoke to us nicely. We didn't know there was a rule of no walking or we would have been more than happy to obligated. She should definitely have a staff member roaming the grounds instead of herself because she definitely cannot control her bad attitude and should not be out in the wild.

So here we are, at the Bella Farms stand, where things seem pretty simple. You could pick up your apples from the already collected pile inside the box, or you could climb the ladder up the nearest tree and get yourself some fresh ones. Several nearby trees had ladders installed on them actually. Self serve $4 per bag this year. Pretty good if you ask me! Thank you, Chuck & John Bella from Bella Farms, for keeping your apple orchards and taking care of them! We appreciate your work and access to fresh crispy fruit.

We went to ranch 3 for cherry picking yesterday, it was a great experience!!…read more We went there early, reached by 10, highly recommend doing that or even earlier, it gets crowded and also sunny and hot later. They had good system for parking, there were people directing us to spots etc that made things easier. it was got really crowded but they managed it well. The farm itself was quite nice, most people will start picking cherries in the first few trees and crowd that area, we eventually went back and right side and got to pick cherries peacefully The cherries itself were quite tasty, we ate a few and picked a lot as well. My 7 year old son enjoyed this activity a lot, most cherry trees were quite low and easy for the kids to pick. We picked the darkest maroon and not too huge cherries, we have seem them to be the best This ranch is open only for a few days and they open a few ranches throughout the season, I recommend signing up for email updates so you can go when it opens and it closed pretty quick as well once most cherries are picked Overall, highly recommend this farm, we have been going last two years. Better than driving far away to Brentwood, its an easy drive from south bay.

I have been short-staffed, so I wasn't able to take time off but w/ my team slowly getting back one by one, I knew I needed some time w/ myself doing what brings me the most joy. Growing up we had dogs and cats. Now I have 8 cats and I feed a small stray population (all fixed) in me neighborhood. But the more I work inside the semiconductor industry, the more I want to get away from the noise, the people, and be w/ the animals. When animals are hungry, they eat. When animals are tired, they sleep. When there are conflicts, they fight. They have no hidden agenda. They will love you unconditionally no matter what you bring to the table. Booking the reservation was easy. You pay half of it first to secure the timeslot. At the time of your reservation, you will be asked to pay the remaining balance. Paying cash will give you 10% off. You can bring children and even your dogs! They have a small area for kids to play. You can bring fruits/vegetables or purchase food for $10. All of their animals (cows, chickens, alpacas, goats, rabbits, and dogs) are secured. You can feed them, take selfies w/ them, and pet them but you cannot be inside the enclosures. The cats are healthy and friendly, they roam the property. There wasn't a single area I saw that wasn't maintained. Every animal and every enclosure were clean and well taken care of. Jasmine and Andrew were personable, friendly, and you can see how much love and patience they radiate. I cannot wait to head back. This time I will bring Gavin. From that day on, I decided to stop consuming lamb, goat, and a day after turkey. i am not trying to be vegan or a vegetarian but I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint what w/ all the AI data centers and the artic no longer being protected, I just feel it's my duty to do my part in helping preserve this planet not just for my kids, but for all living beings on this planet - mainly the animals.
