Today we had a great time foraging for our own food. We headed up to the Delta area of the Bay to a town called Brentwood. This is obviously a big farming area which I was totally unaware of.The neat thing about these farms is that much of the fruit is "pick your own". And so we did. First stop was the cherry orchards. The trees were only about 12-15 feet tall and covered in fruit. It was easy to just pull cherries no matter your height. The filled bucket tapped out at almost 25 pounds. We'll spend a week getting through these. Yum!
Next stop was the peach orchard. Not quite as "neat" as the cherries, but we did manage to get enough to keep us full for a while.
This adventure is definitely on the list again. We got a map of the farms in the area and when to expect each of the crops to come in.
