Lodi Blooms - The Orchard Experience - Cherry U-Pick — Attraction in Lodi

What a pleasant experience!! The whole layout is fantastic. Your greeted with a smile to give you a brief rundown of what to expect before you get to the designated parking. It was our first time and I really liked the fact they took the time and money to lay out crushed walnut shells the entire driveway to the parking area. As well as the pathway to check in with the staff. I am assuming they did this to minimize the dust and rock dirt from going airbourne throughout the farm? Anyways I just really liked that they did that. ALL of the staff members are so polite and friendly with an approachable attitude and professional character! Happy to answer any questions.

Buckets are lined with fresh bags and are easily fillable 5lb to 7lbs. There are a variety of cherries and the trees are super healthy and well taken care of. Minimal signs of bugs etc. But even though it's nature and those little guys gotta eat too lol.

Once you locate your idea of the "perfect plump tree" picking is so simple and easy. I personally began with gently pulling with the stem intact. As I moved onto other trees I figured it was so much quicker and easier to pull them gently from the stem and into the bucket. Either way works. I went pretty hardcore with picking the Rainer cherries as those are my favorite.

It's been about 4 days since we picked 14 pounds worth. After giving a bunch of lbs to my family and friends, I can honestly say they are still crunchy and sweet and juicy. I have found the gold mine of cherries and I will be back again this weekend lol.

I went a little overkill and ate wayyyy too many the first day so you know my stomach was hating me that day haha.

Anyways I had fun and so did my family. Thanks Lodi Blooms for providing such a great thing for people to be apart of!!...

Came on Memorial Day right at open. FYI there is only one way in so depending on which freeway u came from u mite need to do a big U-Turn to get to the entrance. The parking filled up pretty quick since it was a holiday. They had workers to direct where you could park. After parking there is an entrance to get inside to pick cherries. Ashley greeted us and directed us where to go at the entrance. They have their own bag for you to carry and pick. At the end, you can choose to purchase the reusable bag for $2.50/bag or they will put into a free white plastic garbage bag. Cherries are $6/pound. There is employees to direct you which area you are allowed to pick. You do get to taste test the trees b4 you pick. There are quite a few variety to choose from so take your time and pick. We spent about 1 hr and half here. FYI rmr when you leave the parking area you cannot exit the same way you enter. They have a different exit to...

Fantastic first experience! I went with my mom to the soft opening of the 2020 season and we were greeting with dozens of friendly smiles upon entering. Beautiful grounds, 3 types of delicious cherries. We had a blast chit chatting as we leisurely picked cherries at our own pace.

During these unusual times, social distancing was easy while picking and customers were spaced appropriately while checking out. I will return with my kids next weekend and will also return in a couple weeks when the other 2 cherry types are ready to be picked. Highly recommend this...
