Cherry Tree Picking at Leona Valley (near Palmdale)

Please note: Read the directions very carefully below BEFORE you RSVP "Yes" for this event.
1. I am not 100% sure if the opening weekend is the 1st weekend of June. This is just an estimated date based on what the farm is sharing but it might change to the following weekend.
2. We will be leaving at a designated carpool spot in the San Fernando Valley at 6:30 AM. You do not need to carpool if you prefer to drive solo due to social distancing rules. If you do want to carpool, do let me know so I can pair you off with a designated driver.
3. If you do carpool, please give your designated driver $12 in CASH (or Paypal/Venmo) to reimburse for driving and car maintenance.

Every year, I go to Leona Valley to pick cherries from trees in a farm. I have been doing this since the 90s. We enter the far,m right when they ope. We pick cherries from the tree for about an hour. Then head back to LA. nothing complicated. Its all about picking fresh cherries from a tree once year, which heralds the start of Summer for me.
