What It Costs
The orchard's 2025 figures, which are the last it published:
- Adults $25.00
- Seniors, teens and veterans $20.00
- Children $15.00
- Children under three feet tall: free
- U-pick cherries: $3.00 a pound on top

Good to Know
Open 9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and noon to 5pm Sunday in cherry season.
"Always call ahead of time for availability: 951.845.2490."
Bring a box two inches deep or a cool box; the orchard provides picking buckets. There is picnicking and fishing at Bogart Park nearby.
Pro tip: $25 a head plus $3 a pound is the most expensive picking in this region by a distance, and it buys organic cherries in a valley named after them. In a year with no cherries at all, ring before you plan anything.
