U-Pick at Webb Ranch — Local services in Atherton

During this drought and pandemic, make a trip to your local farmer (or any farm) and support their small business. We have attempted to make a trip here last month but Webb Ranch closed for the day on short notice. Make sure to check their website, Facebook group, and call their hotline the day of instead of the day before. There can be last minute changes, which is understandable with the drought we’re having.

The frustrating thing here are the customers! Yes, we are absolutely in a drought and yes, the crops are not as great as years prior, but please, use some common sense and courtesy and don’t come here to hoard berries. We arrived about 45 minutes after they opened and we spotted a few people leaving with wagons full of berries.

More than 40 rows of berry goodness!! Tracie was the person in charge and looks like she and her boys did an amazing job of maintaining the berry fields. Webb Ranch is one family leased ranch, the 3 daughters of the ranch take great pride in their family business and it shows in how lovingly the ranch is maintained; how everyone greets and welcomes one another and are always ready to help their guests!
