U-Pick Plums in California

7 farms where you can pick your own plum.

Plum season in California runs June through August. The San Joaquin Valley — Kings, Tulare, and Fresno counties — grows the bulk of the crop. Black Amber and Friar plums are common mid-season varieties; Santa Rosa plums (developed by Luther Burbank) are a California original and prized for their tart skin and sweet flesh. Look for plums that give slightly to pressure near the tip and have a faint fragrance; avoid any with wrinkled skin or very firm flesh. These 7 pick-your-own plum farmslet you harvest straight from the source — check the map for one near you, and a farm's own site for current hours before you go.
