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.

What We Grow

Our cherry varieties

Each variety is marked with a colored post in the orchard. Use our Fruit Finder map to see which rows are ripe today.

Brooke
Light Blue Post
Sweet, mild
One of the earliest varieties in our orchard — a sure sign cherry season is underway! Mildly sweet with a slight tartness and medium-large fruit. Great for fresh snacking straight off the tree.
Fresh eating
Coral
Pink Post
Sweet & juicy
In most years, Coral comes in alongside the Black Pearls and Chelans in the second wave of the season. Beautifully colored with a rich, sweet flavor — large, firm fruit that holds up great in the bucket.

Bing
White Post
Classic sweet
A mid-to-late season variety that tends to ripen in the same window as the Santinas. The classic American cherry — plump, glossy, and deeply sweet. The gold standard for fresh eating, baking, and gifting.

Rainier
Yellow Post
Honey-sweet, low acid
The "King of Cherries," a mid-to-late season variety. A heads up — Rainiers are so gorgeous they often get picked before they're fully ripe. Wait for the blush to deepen for the full honey-sweet flavor. They go fast!
Fresh · Premium gift
Lapin
Red Post
Rich, winey sweet
Our last variety to ripen most years — and well worth the wait. Extra-large, dark mahogany cherries with a firm crunch and exceptionally sweet flavor. If the Lapins are ready, you're getting the best of the season.
Preserves · Fresh eating
Black Pearl
Purple Post
Deep, complex sweet
In most seasons, ripens in the same wave as the Corals and Chelans. Strikingly dark and luscious with an intense, complex sweetness. A premium u-pick experience.

Chelan

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, underneath the large leaves, or nearer to the trunk. Get close to the trunk, crouch down, and look up!
🧊
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.
🌞
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.
👋
Say hello to our greeters!Make sure to stop and chat with one of our greeters at the orchard entrance — they'll point you straight to the best fruit available that day. With large crowds and warm weather, variety availability and the location of the best fruit can change quickly. Our greeters will have the most up-to-date information. Don't be shy!
