PIY (Pick-it-Yourself)
 Cherry Picking Picnic

It's the end of spring and summer is here!

That means it's CHERRY SEASON!

Did you know that we have beautiful cherry orchards just a little over an hour away from SF?!?!

Event Details:

Come spend a half day with us at a family-owned farm just over an hour from San Francisco. This farm has been family run for over 150 years! We'll get to walk through a cherry orchard and pick our own cherries to take home. The best part - pay only for what you pick. You'll NEVER find produce this fresh in any grocery store, plus you get to learn more about the foods we eat.

Once we've finished harvesting and worked up an appetite, we'll lay out and enjoy the fruits of our labor with a delicious picnic among the trees in the orchard. Lunch will be lovingly prepared by your host, so please mention any allergies or dietary restrictions in the comment box when you register. 

But wait, there's more! With a little bit of luck and if mother nature is on our side, we might be able to pick fresh peaches in another orchard near by. Also, you've probably seen it on a restaurant menu, the famous Brentwood Corn. Brentwood Corn is known across the country and sets the bar for flavor and sweetness. We'll hit up the local farm shop where you can get some corn and lots of other produce to bring home.

Have any favorite recipes using fresh cherries? (Using our Bubba Gump impression) "There's cherry pie, cherry cobbler, cherry cheesecake, cherries jubilee, frozen cherries, candied cherries, cherry ice cream, cherry jam, cherry vodka... that... that's about it."

• Spend a half day in the country air surrounded by orchards and beautiful farmland
