Bacchini's Farm

We usually ( for decades) start rhe summer with olallieberry picking at Gizdich Ranch. It is too far, so this year, we heard from friends about this place in Brentwood. My son and I loved this farm and really loved the opportunity to pick our favorite berries AND cherries. The cherries were so much easier to pick. I loved that you could make a reservation and apply the $5 fee to what we picked.

We stumbled upon this place cause the other place we were originally headed to was closed! They are reservation only - but we literally made one right as we were parked in the lot and it was fine. For reference, we came in early June also.The prices are a little higher than other places ($4.50 for cherries and peaches, $7.50 for blackberries). The peaches were mostly insect bitten which was slightly disappointing but the few we were able to pick were delicious. The blackberries were the best I've ever had! Everyone working there was very friendly - I think I would come back for blackberry picking for sure.

The coupon system they have seems like a downright scam. You can't see what's there or how good it is before you buy an entry ticket. They list that they have availability of specific fruits, but if you get there and the fruit you want is barely available, barely reachable by the kids, or tastless, you have no choice but to pick whatever amount of low-quality junk they have left to fulfill the ticket quota you have paid for in advance. We are never going back again! I would much rather go to a farm where my money rewards good produce than a farm that uses a ticket system to ensure even their bad leftovers are picked out at a profit (their prices are higher than the neighboring orchards and the coral cherries were smaller).

This is one of my favorite Cherry U pick farms in Brentwood. I always got good & tasty fruits from here.Fruits:For Memorial Day weekend, the white peaches, cherries, pluots, apricots, and blackberries are all available and ready for picking. The farmer said the Apricot & Peach hybrid fruit trees will be ready in another week or two. White peaches, blackberries, pluots are all good here.Notes:The trees here are shorter which are easier for fruit-picking, especially for kids or for shorter person like myself. You don't need a ladder or special cherry picking tools to reach out for fruits. There are different size of boxes ($15 for blackberry Costco size box) I got a $30 box which is filled with 5 white peaches, 6 pluots, 16 apricots, lots of cherries, and some blackberries on top. It's definitely a good value IMO. Reservation:You will need to make a reservation in order to get in. You can only book after 8 pm the day before your chosen date. Reservation is always sold out when it opens at 8 pm, but if you try to book after 10 pm or 11 pm, you might be able to get the tickets. The ticketIs $5 per person and can be redeemed for fruits. Pro: They get good variety here. So you don't have to go to different farms. The staffs all wore masks and the entrance line is pretty organized. There is also a washing sink area with soup & water and porta-potty in case you need it. Con: Cherry trees selection is kinda small and cherries are not quite deep red yet. If your cherries are your target fruit, I will suggest other cherry farms instead. Parking:I will suggest come before 10 am if you can, it's less hot and easier for traffic & parking. Happy fruits picking y'all :)

This place has their Covid-19 act down and allows only a certain amount of people at a time, which we liked. Not crowded at all.Apricots and cherries were available for U Pick when we went on Saturday, 5/15. The cherries were not fully ripe yet, but Jenbert and Jenbert Jr don't mind firmer cherries.It is on the pricier side, but part of what you are paying for is a less crowded place to enjoy your U Pick experience.

good experiences in the past, but yesterday was very very disappointed, we bought 30+lbs Loquat last year to shared with families & friends, plan to do the same this year, we visited the farm 1 week ahead & was told shop will not selling loquat until Saturday 5/15 @ 9 am.Sat 5/15 we arrived @ 8:38am only 2 cars at the lot, shop was not open yet but the lady was there and we were shocked by what we heard, they opened yesterday for self picked loquat so most of the ripe one were all gone, they also didn't have pre-picked loquat for sale because they don't know when the pickers will come to pick for them.we disappointed not only because "no loquat ", but was more of the business didn't care to honor what they told to their customers.

Not a lot of places open before memorial day weekend and I am glad they do! Came on a weekday and there weren't a lot of people. We picked blackberries and apricots. They are delicious - I never knew blackberries could be this sweet!Remember to put on lots of sunscreen and bring a hat! You can check in their website/call in advance to see what fruits are available for picking. This was a fun experience and I would definitely come again!

There are many places to choose from but we decided on Bacchini's because of the different available fruits to pick. Parking is limited so be patient and expect a wait of 30mins at least when busy; the turnover of people leaving is fairly fast. Before you can roam freely on the grounds you have to sign a waiver form. After that, you grab a bucket and box and pick as much as you'd like. The first initially rows of cherry were already picked clean, but staff are on hand to let you know which rows/area still have plenty of fruit available. And they direct you to the fruits you're looking for. The grounds isn't too big, but offered a variety of different fruits. We had cherry, blackberries, peaches, a few apricot and plum. Fruit will vary between weeks and year. It was just over 100F when we went, so make sure to stay hydrated and bring hat/umbrella for shade. Not sure if it's permitted but I saw some families bring a blanket/picnic and chilled out under some of the fruitless trees. Staff didn't seem to mind. They take cash, debit and credit.

There is so much fruit on the trees. I picked so much more than I needed but it tastes delicious.

We come here every year for cherry picking with my kids, staring when they were two years old. My kids now complain when they eat store bought cherries because they're "not as sweet as the farm ones"The trees are all pretty low to the ground which allows for easy picking for little ones. I love that they have a variety of fruits to pick and we make a full day out of it by going to a nearby park afterwards to play and eat lunch!
