A hidden gem. Saw the cherry picking on line and went for Father’s Day. Everyone was so nice and helped a lot. And the cherries…….. please. The best ever especially since you pick them yourself and all. It’s always worth it when you pick your own food. I will be back for the other seasons and fruits. Thank you Nichols Farm for allowing the public to go back their roots.

Wish I could've known in advance the safety hazards before visiting this place for the first time! The GPS took us to a very dangerous road uphill on the mountain on La Luz road from US-82. We were on very high altitude going downhill in a very narrow road with no pavement & no rails! Do not drive through this road because it's very dangerous & not worth the risk. Stay on the US-54 highway instead & don't speed! Also, when you visit the farm you have to walk up hill & it's a struggle when carrying stuff or taking a stroller for your children. Due to what we went through to visit this place will be our first & last time! The road looks just like this picture I provided here except no pavement just dirt road with rocks. It's also pathetic that the owners response is unapologetic & no warning for visitors that never been here before.There should at least be an advisory on their website & on Google maps but I'm the one letting everyone know about this dangerous road!

A whole lot of fun but beware the cherries add up fast and will fill your buckets easily. You’re being charged for the experience, so be aware of elevated prices for cherries/lb even thought you’re doing the labor of picking them. We’re talking like 5-6 USD a lb of cherries. Dogs are welcomed I saw on leash and some away off leash alongside families. Their facilities need an investment to make the cherry fest even enjoyable. Get some shaded sitting areas with misters near the band area. It is way too hot to hang out in the direct sun with the family. Some proper bathrooms and a larger vendor/food area would work nicely.
