U-Pick Planning Guide

2026 BRENTWOOD U-PICK &
FRUIT HARVEST CALENDAR

Use this 2026 Brentwood fruit-picking schedule to plan a farm day, then check the official live farm status before you leave. Harvest timing and daily availability change.

Start with live status

Check the farm before you drive

Brentwood was officially recognized as a U-pick capital in 2024. The City of Brentwood describes a concentration of more than 60 family-owned farms, while Harvest Time maintains the practical directory and current-status tools visitors need to plan a stop.

Crop windows are only a starting point. A farm can open late, close early, sell out, require a reservation, or change hours as fruit ripens. Check Harvest Time and the individual farm on the same day you plan to visit.

This dated snapshot summarizes the latest status shown on the linked Harvest Time farm profiles. It is not a complete list of Brentwood farms or a guarantee that fruit will still be available when you arrive. Recheck the farm's own profile on the day of your trip.

Strawberries

One checked farm is listed open

Harvest Time currently lists Chao’s Strawberries as open for U-pick and its fruit stand. Confirm before leaving because field conditions can change.

Brentwood U-pick questions

When is cherry-picking season in Brentwood, California?

The Delta Protection Commission says the typical cherry season runs from late April to mid-June, with peak harvest in May. Weather, ripeness, and picking volume can move that window, so check current farm status before driving.

Does this calendar show which Brentwood farms are open today?

No. This is a general planning calendar, not a live availability feed. Use Harvest Time in Brentwood’s current farm-status page and confirm details with the individual farm before visiting.

How can I find a Brentwood U-pick farm for a specific fruit?

Harvest Time in Brentwood maintains a farm directory that can be filtered by farm type and crop, including cherries, strawberries, peaches, pumpkins, and other seasonal produce.

Can I stop for ice cream after visiting a Brentwood farm?

Yes. Brentwood Ice Cream Co. is at 5421 Lone Tree Way, Suite 101, and is open daily from noon to 8:30 PM. Check the current menu before visiting if you are looking for a particular seasonal flavor.

Sources and freshness

The planning guidance above uses official City, Delta, and Harvest Time resources. Farm status changes faster than an editorial page can be updated, so follow the live status and individual farm links for day-of information.
