Pro-Tips for Your Visit
Check Before You Drive: Many farms sell out for the day or close due to heat. Use the Harvest Time Brentwood app for real-time updates.
Bring Cash: While many farms now take card/Venmo, some smaller ranches are still cash-only.
Timing: The best picking is always on a Wednesday or Thursday morning to avoid the weekend crowds. Arrive early to avoid the heat as it gets extremely hot and dry in the summer.
