2014 Cherry Season
Sadly, the 2014 Brentwood Cherry season has passed. The crop was very light this year and was picked out for the most part by Memorial Day weekend.
I’m excited to announce the beginning of the 2014 Cherry Season in Brentwood. The 2014 Brentwood cherry season will commence around Monday, May 12th at some farms and continue until the trees are picked clean. I’ve just received an update from a few Cherry Farmers that they’ll open on Thursday, May 15th. The cherry crop will be lite this year, due to the severe drought threatening many of our California agricultural crops. I suggest you plan your trip to Brentwood promptly, to pick a few pounds of the best cherries in the Bay Area. Some farms are open 7 days a week especially during cherry season, the farmers suggest you make your trip mid-week to avoid too much congestion in the area. Call the farms ahead of time for days and hours of operation. Remember, Brentwood is a farm community; not a parking lot, so plan accordingly by carpooling with family and friends.
Brentwood Farmers hope cherries will be in supply for u-pick through the second week in June as long as mother nature cooperates. Brentwood is located about an hour east of San Francisco over the bridge and through the Caldecott Tunnel or up route 580 East. You can access up to date crop, farms and picking information at the Brentwood Cherries Facebook Page or via the Harvest Time in Brentwood website and their new app available on iTunes. The price per pound is approximately $3.00 this year for u-pick. I’ve also written a primer on U-Pick Etiquette on behalf of our farmers. Support and respect our hard working local farmers and their farms so that we can continue to share in this incredible experience of harvesting our own fresh produce.
