Windy Ridge Farm, Leona Valley
This is turning out to be a tradition for us with our good friends the Coulters.
2010 will make it our third year going together. This year we met the Gomez family, and the Dulaney family at the farm.
Windy Ridge is a family own orchard/farm. They open their doors to the public for two to three weekends out of the year during cherry season. The farm is ran by the family we are often greeted by the kids that live there, and they kidly pass out buckets where you put your picked cherries. The kids also give us instructions on how to pick and choose the cherries. The Grandfather offers tractor rides to the top of the hill. That is always a hit with the kids. The family also cooks and sells cherry bread(which we love!)We really enjoy eating the fresh cherries and just the idea of going out to the farm.
This year as we where on our way to the farm we saw a sign that read "Apricots" Needless to say, we went apricot picking while we where at it...
PS... On this trip. I got ants in my pants! and that is all I am going to say about that!
