Our Story

A family farm rooted in Brentwood

Diablo Cherries is owned and operated by a family of farmers who have worked the rich clay soils of Brentwood for six generations. In 2016, mother, daughter, father, and son-in-law joined together to establish Diablo Cherries Farm and open our orchard to the community.

We prune our trees to keep the fruit low and easy to reach — perfect for kids and families. Come experience the joy of picking your own fresh cherries straight from the tree.

Picking tips

🌿
Pick with the stem onCherries last significantly longer when picked with the stem intact. Twist gently rather than pulling the fruit off.
👀
Look for deep colorThe darker and more uniform the color, the riper and sweeter the cherry. Avoid pale or patchy fruit.
🤏
Feel for firmnessRipe cherries should feel firm but not hard. Soft or mushy spots mean overripe — leave those on the tree.
🌳
Check the inner branchesThe best fruit is often tucked inside the canopy. Don't just pick the outer rows — explore deeper in!
🧊
Keep them coolGet your cherries into a cooler or fridge as soon as possible to lock in freshness and flavor.
💧
Don't wash until ready to eatKeep your cherries dry after picking — moisture shortens their shelf life. Wash only just before eating to keep them fresh longer.
🔭
Use the Fruit FinderCheck our interactive map before heading in — it shows which varieties are ripe today so you go straight to the best rows.
🌞
Pick in the morningCherries are firmest and coolest in the early hours. Beat the heat and get the best fruit by arriving when we open.
