Hi Cherry Pickers,

It’s hard to believe but Cherry picking season is again fast approaching.  Many of our cherries are already the size of small grapes!  I’ll get some new pictures up on the web site shortly.  Gary was up at the orchard all night running the orchard fans to keep the blossoms and baby cherries from freezing three nights last week.  It has paid off.  The trees are LOADED with luscious baby cherries!  We have more cherries this year than we have ever had, so tell all of your family and friends to sign up on our web site and come have a fun day of picking.  As you know, we grow Bings, Rainiers, Early Burlats, Brooks and Tulares.  All are delicious, sweet cherries you will love.  This year we will have a huge supply of local, raw honey also.

We are hoping to be able to open Memorial weekend, May 29th and 30th.  We’ll have exact details in a few more weeks as we watch the cherries ripen.  We will be posting all updates on the web site www.upickcherries.com as well as sending out Cherry email alerts once we know exactly when the cherries will be ripe and perfect for picking!

It’s always a good idea to call our phone message or visit our web site before heading our way just to be sure there are no changes in our picking schedule.  The number is 661 270-1356.  We’ll keep our phone message updated with up to the minute information.  Once the cherries are ripe we will be open 7 days a week for your convenience.

As always, there is no admission or parking fee at Villa del Sol.  You only pay for the cherries you pick (but only pick what you intend to buy–Gary works all year long for this short picking season)!   Gary also just put in two new huge parking lots so you can park on site.

We’re getting excited.  Keep watching our web site.  We’ll post updates and also email you as we know more.

Thanks so much and we look forward to seeing you at the cherry farm.

Gary and Maxi
