Cherry Picking near Los Angeles with Kids: Favorite Family Farms in the Leona Valley
Submitted by Meghan Rose on
Of course you can go cherry picking near Los Angeles—SoCal is the fruit basket of the country!
You've been strawberry picking with your kids, and everyone has visited a local farm to pick a pumpkin from the patch in person. But have you ever gone cherry picking? Cherries do best in the high desert, and there are several pick-your-own cherry orchards in the Leona Valley, near Palmdale. It's a pretty ride into high desert horse country, and when you get there, kids can not only go cherry picking, but also pick other stone fruits and enjoy some time on the farm.
