ABOUT LEONA VALLEY
Northside Cherries, a U
Pic Sweet Cherry Ranch, family owned and operated since 1986, is
located in Leona Valley, California, in the mountains approximately 10 miles
west of Palmdale. Every year thousands of urban dwellers load up their
minivans with family, friends, cousins, neighbors, for their trek up
to Leona Valley. Here you can wander among the trees, harvest some fruit and
see food at its source. Our altitude is 3,500 feet so the weather is usually
mild and cooler than the high desert.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CHERRY PICKING?
Well if you have never gone cherry picking, here are some tips.
-
It's a good idea to wear
tennis shoes and comfortable clothing.
-
Cherries do stain so
don't wear your Sunday Going To Church clothes to pick
cherries.
-
We provide ladders and
the buckets for picking; however, you might want to bring your own
containers to take your cherries home, coolers are a good idea to keep
the cherries fresh during the trip home.
-
Bring scissors for cutting the stem off from the spur, leaving the stem on
the cherry.
-
We do not
charge any entrance fees or parking fees, you pay in cash for the
cherries you pick, please pay before you eat.
-
Our trees are grown on full
size root stock, no dwarf cherry trees in our
orchard.
