06.13.2011 Cherries cherries

Last saturday (6.10.2011), we went to Brentwood for cherry-picking.  After reading a few reviews from Yelp, we decided on Freitas Ranch (555 Hoffman Lane, Brentwood, CA).  It took about 1.5 hr to get there - not too bad.  Evan slept most of the way there :)  We got there fairly early (just before 10 am) and it wasn't too hot or crowded yet - it was actually a little cool.  The staff was really friendly, the orchard had cherries only, and there were farm-provided ladders customers could use to climb up higher to get the cherries at top of trees.  The cherries (mostly Bing?) were very sweet and big!  We all had a blast eating the cherries, especially Evan.  June peeled and fed him probably 6 to 10 cherries.  His mouth was blacked from the cherry juice and happy as can be.
