Riley’s U-Pick in Genola is an absolute gem! We went for a fun date night and had such a great time. They make it super easy to pay — Venmo, debit, or cash — and you can choose between different size buckets and boxes ranging from $8 to $22, or pay by the pound. Prices are very reasonable (nectarines were $2/lb, peaches $2.50/lb, and spaghetti squash $1.25/lb).
The produce is fresh and plentiful. You can pick your own fruits and vegetables right from the fields, or grab pre-picked items in their farm shack. They also sell fresh-pressed apple juice by the gallon, pinto beans, and other seasonal goodies. I loved that they had a big board showing what’s currently in season and what’s coming up — it makes it easy to plan return visits.
The staff was kind, helpful, and welcoming, and there was plenty of parking. We left with peppers, tomatoes, bell peppers, LOTS of raspberries, peaches, nectarines, and a gallon of apple juice — all for under $30! Everything tasted amazing and so fresh.
We will 100% be back throughout the season instead of buying produce at the grocery store. It’s a wonderful experience for couples, families, or anyone who enjoys fresh, local food. Highly recommend!
One suggestion for the owners: It might be helpful to have a large sign near the entrance explaining how pricing works for the buckets and boxes, along with the rates, since the current sign is inside the shack and easy to miss until after you’ve already started picking. We knew Spanish and were able to ask staff, but having clear instructions outside could avoid confusion for new visitors. This seems to be the main reason for the few lower-star reviews I’ve read, and it would make the experience even smoother.
Overall, it’s an amazing place — fun, affordable, and a great way to enjoy fresh, local produce....
Read moreI am a truck driver who delivered a tractor to Chris Riley of Riley Farms from California to Utah. The freight Broker, who Chris claimed to know, scammed us and we never got paid the amount of money we agreed upon. I tried to contact Chris for his help on the matter and he was very unkind and went out of his way to make me feel like a burden when I was patient and considerate of his time. Chris Riley is a bad businessman that profits from unlawful business practices.
Reply to Response- Chris, I appreciate the reply! if you'd be happy to try to assist, you can start by unblocking my phone number. Its the one that ends in 4350. At the time that this happened, all I wanted was any info you could give me. Knowing that this load was indeed booked through Uship could have prevented the scammers who double brokered the load to me from getting paid. All I had to do was report it to Uship. But you were rude and very unwilling to help. Next time, maybe be more understanding from one small business owner to another, and dont block the phone number from someone whos is trying to get paid for...
Read moreI had never been here before, but I was excited to check out a “great local resource”. It was such a disappointment. I went home empty-handed after having driven 45 minutes to get there. It was confusing to know where to park. I wasn’t sure where to pay. I didn’t know where, or if there were bathrooms. I had several questions for the people who work there, but because of the language barrier, (they knew NO English), I received no help. I went to the red barn and found a case of local grown and manufactured salsa and asked how much for the case and was shown on the computer that I would have to pay nine dollars per bottle! That’s over $100 for a case of 12, -16 ounce salsa bottles! Which makes no sense at all, but they were ok with it. I left very...
