Wickham Fruit Farm, which is a 13-minute drive from Shorecrest offers pick your own Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, peaches, apples, pumpkins and now cherries! Experience the fun of picking your own fruits.
Tom Wickham, owner of the historic Wickham’s fruit stand has now made it possible to pick your own cherries by planting a dwarf variety of cherry trees that has made picking cherries accessible to the average person without the use of special equipment. By the end of June, people that come to the farm to pick their own will be able to hand-pick cherries from these trees. The season is short: It will be over before the end of July.
But the good news is, once the cherry-picking season is over the season begins for other types of fruit you can pick. Check out their website, for a schedule of when you can pick these fruits and when the stand as open as well as other fresh fruits, vegetables and goods they offer for sale. You can even book a field trip! Directions and contact information are on the website as well or go to our interactive map.
