The season is nearly over so we wanted to head out early in the day to pick some cherries before it warms up in Brentwood
Check out Mike's for Ranier and Lapin's. We were very pleased to find a couple of Ranier trees still with plenty of perfect fruit.

They have plenty of ladders which is a plus. I've been to other farms where either they don't have them or there are very few. Thank you!

Ample dirt lot, plastic bag for picking and cash only.

Please support this local business.

this is the place to go for cherry picking. Passed 2-3 upick cherry spots along the main roads to get here, and very pleased we stuck with this place than the other ones. Super sweet cherries, friendly staff, $4 per pound, easy to park, and very clean bathrooms and field!
The cherries are super sweet, ladders placed everywhere.
Spent 2 hours here frolicking around the place and taking photos with my mom, and best tip- START ON THE OUTSKIRTS when picking cherries because those were the plumpest and juiciest.

But what do i know? an hour into cherry picking we swore we knew 'tf we were doing- ie how to pick with the stem, travel to the top of the tree, etc lol

great family bonding time, and good weather, too!!

Had a fun time picking cherries. Went on 6/25 and it was the perfect time to get Lapin and Ranier cherries at $4/lbs. I thought the Ranier cherries tasted the best but most were picked, though plenty of Lapin cherries were available and were so sweet.

Some tips:
- Bring sunscreen and a hat as it gets quite sunny and hot inland
- Cherries can be found by going closer to the trunk and looking straight up
- Large lapin cherries were at the far end closest to the fence

Today I was able to pick plenty of beautiful sweet dark red cherries easily and quickly. The grounds are clean and parking is very easy. Porta potties are available for customers to use.
The staff is sweet and very helpful to make your visit a great experience

Came here to pick cherries this weekend and while it's unfortunate that the cherry selection was very limited, they did have the best white nectarines I've ever had! I'd highly recommend coming here for their white and yellow nectarines. They were $4/lb when I went.

UPDATE: Owner, Jamie, just informed me that Mike's U Pick has 2 locations, one is a cherry farm and one is a nectarine farm. This location has a plentiful amount of cherries while the other location is nectarine dominant.

What a delicious and beautiful cherries! Came here last Sunday and had a great time. Abundance of cherries on the trees allows for a wonderful cherry picking experience. We had a lot of fun picking and eating cherries. The quality of the fruit is great, very delicious cherry. Priced reasonably and with auch high quality cherry, we'll be back for more.

Join our Email List and we'll notify you ahead of time when our two orchards will open.
They typically open at different times in the Spring. Once we open, we'll send weekly emails letting you know which fruit varietals are ripe and ready for picking, as well as business hour updates (Good to know because occasionally we must close due to weather, or muddy fields after a late watering day, or having to wait for more of the fruit to ripen). And other important news!
