We’re headed out to Brentwood on Saturday to pick fruit so I called a few farms today to get an update on what’s currently available:
Dwelley Farms – Just Olallieberries. Starting next weekend Boysenberries will also be available.
Mike’s U-Pick – White and Yellow Peaches
The Farmers Daughter – White Peaches (not confirmed but from what I hear this farm is ORGANIC)
Pease Ranch – Bing and Rainier Cherries, Boysenberries, Olallieberries and Loganberries
Tachella Family Farms – Several types of Cherries, Peaches and Apricots
Smith Family Farm – No one “picked” up their phone but for sure they’re open. They have a nice farm stand with produce and flowers and may or may not have U-Pick available.
The Stand at Knightsen – No U-Pick but their stand is open and they’re ALL ORGANIC. They currently have tomatoes and asparagus plus other veggies and lots of fruit.
I see that Mangini Farm is a new addition this year to Harvest Time. I have to laugh at the description of where they’re located, “Next to Napa Auto Parts and across the street from Taco Bell”. Hmmm that doesn’t sound so appealing to me š But on their behalf I must say they have some of the best corn around that I buy from their farm stand in Pleasant Hill when it’s in season (mid June – August).
For farm details and a map go to the Harvest Time website. Please also see my post about Brentwood farms from yesterday located right below this one.
Not into U-Pick? The Contra Costa County Fair is this weekend. It’s located in Antioch.
