About Brentwood Cherrypicking
Every year, usually starting in May, Brentwood, California is awash with local Bay Area families that come to pick cherries from this magical farming region.
The U-picking season, also known as "You-pick" or "U-pick", begins in May and typically ends in June. Weather plays a role in the cherry ripening process, so pickers should check back frequently with us here at Marsh Creek to let you know when the harvest can begin. Once it begins, the customer can visit our farm or the Brentwood cherry picking farm of their choice and pick all of the cherries that you could ever want for the year. Not only do cherries last for weeks in the refrigerator, they are excellent frozen for many months at a time.
If you prefer not picking your own cherries, Brentwood cherry farms often offer a "Pre-pick" option, which is effectively purchasing a freshly picked batch of cherries that was picked by staff at the farm. Pre-picking is a great option as the farmers package their best fruit for you.
So why is Brentwood, CA in Contra Costa County such a magical u-pick and pre-pick cherry destination? Well, the fertile soil, ample water supply, climate and local knowledge make this the "Napa Valley" of Cherries. Located in the Easy Bay in Northern California, Brentwood is a very short drive for millions of Bay Area residents, but it's also a short drive for many in the surrounding regions, including California's Central Valley. More than 20 cherry picking farms are open in May, so the town is well known in California and has grown quite the reputation amongst veteran you-pickers.
A number of years ago, the Newberry Cherry Farm was born. A farmer with a love for Brentwood laid the foundation for what is now known as the Marsh Creek Cherry Farm. Since 2006, the orchards at the Marsh Creek Farm have been thriving and offering Bay Area residents with 5 types of delicious cherries to choose from, including Rainiers, Corals, Utah Giants, Lapins and Sweethearts.
Cherrypicking season is our favorite time of the year. We enjoy seeing our veteran u-pickers from prior years and always get excited to meet new customers. So, if you haven't u-picked cherries in Brentwood before, we hope you'll take advantage of the 2024 u-pick season and come visit us.
