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!

4/5 I was satisfied with how they handle themselves with…read morethe parking situation and they covid guidelines there. The line to get in is usually long and the longer I have seen it is at the front of the entrance. It is hard to find some good sweet cherries near the entrance, so you would have to walk half a mile away to get some good ones.

We were lucky to book a tasting & tour at Andy's Orchard well in advance (5 months ahead) before…read morethey sold out. I highly highly recommend it for families, kids, and outings. They only do tastings during the summer months, so it is a bummer we can't go ahead until next year but we are totally already looking forward to it! Each ticket was $25 for adults, or anyone over 11 years old. Children under 11 are free and there are discounted prices for seniors. I want to take bet that we probably tried over 50types of peaches, nectarines, plums and other fruit varieties. And even though you are only to take 1-2 pieces of each variety, my plate was full at the end of each section. Who would've thought there are like 20+ different kinds of peaches in the Silicon Valley? Some of my favorites were the Snow Beauty peaches, the Italian Ice peaches, as well as the green gage plums. But many were delicious and after awhile, they start to taste the same but they were still flavorful. The kids enjoyed fruit picking on the tour of the orchard and were able to pick some and taste along the way. You can purchase by the pound the fruit you pick or you can get some at the store. They also sell chocolate covered treats and desserts in the shop. Overall, still highly recommend trying this out. You can also just visit them and purchase fruit by the pound. I like that they have a"cheaper" section for "ugly" fruits and I was able to snag a couple of bags of delicious peaches there.

Yay! It's stone fruit season again! My wife is on their mailing list so we're kept apprised of…read morewhat's coming up and what's already in season. We'll probably be making the one hour drive down every two or three weeks for the next three months. I highly recommend that you get on their mailing list or call down to see what is in season the day before you drive down. Andy's only picks fruits at the peak of ripeness and the fruits are super sweet. That also means that something that you buy today and enjoy, don't expect to find it again three weeks later. And because fruit is dependent on weather cooperation, the same fruits will not necessarily ripen at the same time each year. We brought The Princess down with us this year, so I didn't get any of the pictures that I usually take. Look at some of my older pictures to get an idea of how Andy's sells his products.

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.

We try to go cherry picking every year and somewhere in Morgan Hill since Brentwood is too far and…read morecrowded. I have previously gone to one of the U Pick ranches but they had very limited timing this year and none of the times worked for us. I found this place while looking for other places to go and it was open on the weekend that we wanted to go. We went late on a Friday afternoon and this place was easy to find but I didn't think it was the right place because when you enter, it looks like a car junk yard. There was one other family picking cherries so the place was not too crowded. We checked in, had to read some information, got our bags and went right in. They have various types of cherries - bing, lapins, black etc. and that was the best thing about this place. The trees are have a color stripe that tells you about the types of cherries. We walked for most of an hour with barely any cherries. All the reachable ones were either picked out or too unripe. What I noticed is that for the other families who came after us, the people in the front gave them long poles that will help pick cherries on the top which we were neither told about nor offered, hmmmmmm. We finally found one tree loaded with black cherries, they were small but delicious and we went overboard and picked too many. This place charges $6/lb while most others charge $.50c more. They also have apricots but the fruit was not ready on the weekend that we visited.

My favorite orchard to pick cherries!…read more This orchard seems to have expanded their parking area. Last year they just had the main small parking lot you would pull into. Now there's more parking available on the side of the road for overflow. Guess the place got more popular. When you walk into the lot, you'll see the tented area where they hand out bags and you purchase your cherries at the end of your adventure. When you first arrive at the tables, they'll ask you to read through all their rules and overview of how to pick cherries. They have a handy print out of all the varieties of cherries that you can identify based on the colored stripes on the tree trunks. When you go into the orchard, the fun begins! This year to start, they just had a few varieties ready so far. I ended up focusing on picking the Tartarian cherries. These are a beautiful dark red cherry that are very soft (hence bruise easily!) and tasty. They're sweet and not that acidic. Compared to the other cherries available so far this summer, these are my favorite. $6 / lb of cherries. That's 50¢ cheaper than the other U-Pick orchards that are currently open and for even better cherries (imho) :-) I'm looking forward to coming back soon!

First time visiting after seeing a tiny sign off of Monterey Road. Unfortunately, said sign was…read moreseen last year and after the season had already ended. 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.

We drove by and found this U-pick cherry farm in Morgan Hill and decided to try it out…read more There were staff directing you where to park on the farm when you arrived at the entrance. When we were there, the staff advised us to head deeper into the farm since most of the cherries near the parking lot had already been picked. The price was $6.5 per lb, which is slightly pricy compared to the farms in Brendwood, but considering the location, if you live in South Bay, this is the ideal location for cherry picking. A couple of things to note that they do not provide ladders on site due to safety and liability concerns, and you cannot bring your own buckets/bags; they will provide the plastic bags for you at the farm.

Extremely disappointed in the cherry turn out for this year. Not necessarily the ranches fault, but…read morea number of factors--insufficient rain, blazing heat, and other environmental impacts that have not been kind to the farmers. However, I would think that coming on the first day would give me a better chance of cherry picking. Many trees were sparse and had little to no cherries for picking. :( I wondered if I just chose the wrong ranch to pick from. I came for bings and Rainer's and left with only Rainer's. The bings didn't look as red or ripe to eat. It's a fun summer activity, but I recommend all come early when ranches are open! $6.50/lb for self pick and $7.50/lb if you want them pre-picked. Bags are provided!

This farm is a true paradise for tomato lovers. Every summer we go from farm to farm and farmers…read moremarket to farmers market searching for the best tomatoes, and this place easily became our favorite. When we think of delicious heirloom tomatoes and more varieties, this is the only spot that comes to mind. Tomatoes here are unbelievably flavorful, and the Brad's Atomic Grape variety is on another level. During tomato season, you simply park outside and pick your own, which is such a fun and thoughtful idea. Their tomatoes made our summer meals so special, and we're already looking forward to coming back next season

First time visiting this farm during a community Local Makers Market event on 4/20 called Spring…read moreTomato Starter Plant Sale. Came here on the annual tomato starter tomato event. Online Catalog offered 30 varieties to choose from for $10 a plant. However on the day, they offered 47 tomato varieties (see pic) The Local Makers Market event also had local owned business booths, from a flower van, champagne, crafts, olive oil booth, salsa booth, bath products like lotions and potions and likely a dozen more I can't recall. A food truck called "Pupusa Lady" and of course I ordered 2 empanadas. Delicious ! Parking was easy as one actually parks on the main road. Not sure if there was other parking. All in all, it was a warm breezy day and amazed how many ppl were buying these starter tomato plants. Even the owner was in the midst talking to customers. So glad they accepted plastic. Process was super easy as one finds the vanities, grab the pot (and free cardboard box, if needed), then walk to "cashier" table and pay. I bought 4 varieties : Brandywine, Nepal, Martha Washington and Tasmanian Chocolate. Tip: During the tomato season, This farm offers an honesty cart where they leave their beautiful tomatoes of the season on a cart outside and one pays based on prices and place payment in a lock box or similar. I haven't experienced that YET as tomato season is not yet here. But once summer arrives and on my way to the Gilroy Outlets, I'll be sure to buy fresh in season tomatoes.
