U-Pick Pomegranates in California
3 farms where you can pick your own pomegranate.
Pomegranate season in California runs September through November, with peak availability in October. California produces the vast majority of U.S. pomegranates — most from the San Joaquin Valley (Tulare, Fresno, and Kings counties), with a smaller harvest in the Coachella Valley and Inland Empire. The Wonderful variety dominates; look for deep crimson skin, heavy weight for the size, and a slightly flattened crown. U-pick windows align with this season — most open in late September and run through early November. These 3 pick-your-own pomegranate 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.
