Chan’s Strawberry and Fruit Stand

I went yesterday and the strawberries are still plentiful. If you don’t have a box, you can buy one for $.25. Listen to the workers advice there and they’ll direct you to where you can find lots of ripe strawberries.
I was a bit disappointed by the taste of the strawberries. While they were sweet, they weren’t nearly as sweet as other u-​pick strawberry farms I’ve been to. But if you are in the area, still worth swinging by!

Very rude employees/​owners. «This is our farm, our rules. ALL other farms charge an entrance fee.» The second statement is not true, so they’re not only rude but also liars. They require 2lbs per adult or they won’t let you in!

Extremely rude and mean. The girl talks very fast and is super rude. Each adult is forced to pick minimum 2 pounds. 25 cents to buy box, so please bring your own basket. Strawberries didn’t seem great either. Pls don’t go to this farm.

Need to go early in the season with sunscreens and umbrella. My 4 year old kid have fun picking. We went late in the day need to find the strawberries under leaf that people missed.

Awful farm. Very rude and dishonest.
Strawberries not testy. Very watery and not sweet. They charge for a box $ 0.25.
They cheated me at check out. Young guy did not take off weight of the box. I had to pay for weight of box.
But somebody like to be fooled.

I didn’t pick. I bought delicious strawberries, and great bargains with $ 1 each for large-​ish avocados and an amazingly low $ 1/​lb for fresh fava beans. The older couple there is from Laos and were very friendly.

Went there yesterday with the family. Their organic strawberries are so sweet, intense red color, and big.
It is very difficult to beat their prices for strawberries.
The hand picking experience is the highlight our trip. Though their field is on the smaller size; the quality of the strawberries made the trip worth it.
I am confident that you and your family will have a good experience as us.

Good place to hang out with your family and friends. You can pick strawberries and blackberries. Drive from San Francisco to this place is very beautiful. Recommended.

Lots of strawberries and blackberries to pick. Minimum 2lbs per adult which isn’t bad. You could buy their card board boxes for 25¢ or bring your own containers. Fruit was ripe and sweet delicious!!! We brought our own baskets … Forgot to weigh them before filling up so we could subtract from the weight of fruit … So note to self know the weight of your containers you bring. We got there around 9:30am and heat wasn’t too bad and not crowded at all. Around 10:30 the lot started getting full. So go early. I will definitely go back again.

Our first time strawberry picking!!! We decided to stop by since we were just across the street cherry picking and the boyfriend has been wanting to do this for some time now. Parking is a decent size. The field is huge. You can bring your own container to put your strawberries in or buy a box from them which is 25cents. It holds about 6−8lbs. Each family has to pick a minimum of 2lbs and a $ 1.75/lb. The strawberries were a good size and very sweet. We will also be returning here next year.
Don’t forget to wear a hat and sunblock.

Strawberries are very sweet here and price is very low. there are plenty of plants to pick.
Drive to the place is very exciting.

Farmers pick good ones for sale. But only on the top. Rest of them are not good. And the u-​pick ones are sucks!

Their strawberries are so ripe that they’re practically a different fruit! The flavor is so good that they just melt in your mouth. At $ 1.50 per pound, it’s a pretty good deal (and you get the experience of picking strawberries!). They also sell lettuce, sugar snap peas, and beets.

Chan’s not only has delicious strawberries but many other wonderful fruits and vegetables. We visit Chan’s almost weekly when they are open. My whole family loves to pick their strawberries. If you bring your own bucket, have them weigh it before you start picking and you don’t have to spend a quarter on a flat.

I’ve never been to the farm itself, but I’ve been enjoying their berries for the past few years now, and as far as the quality of the berries go, this is the best place to get strawberries and blackberries in Brentwood, with a great selection and flavor from June through November. Their late-​season strawberries are especially good.
So while I can’t speak for the U-​Pick experience, I’d say if you live in Brentwood and you love berries, this place would at least be worth visiting once.

We called them the morning of to make sure they were open. Got there at 9:30 on a Saturday. We were the first ones to get there. It was pretty easy to find, with plenty of signs pointing us to the right farm.
We each got a box for 25 cents and got to picking! The guy working the stand advised us to go to the farthest section because there were more strawberries there. We picked for about an hour, and it started to get really hot.
By the end, we each managed to harvest about 4 pounds per person. The berries were really sweet and delicious. It’s quite a large field so it wasn’t hard to gather the 2 pound minimum, even for the most discriminating of pickers in my group. I think the fact that we arrived early also helped a lot.
Tips:
You can’t bring water in.
Bring cash.
Get there early. It will be cooler and you will have better pickings.
Wear closed toed shoes, because your feet will get dusty.
You will get berry juice on you, don’t wear super nice clothes.
Wear a hat, apply sunblock. Long sleeve, loose fitting clothes will serve you well.
There isn’t a place to wash your hands, and unless you have a super soft touch you’ll probably have pretty dirty hands by the end of your picking session. I would suggest bringing some wet towels to wipe your hands with.
There are several other u-​pick farms in the area, but we only picked at this one. I imagine though that if a person were less lazy than me and my friends they could hit up some more farms for peaches, plums, and apricots nearby. As it is, we were very happy with our berries and had a blast picking them.

Really great place for U-​pick strawberries.
Pricing: $ 1.50 per pound of strawberries; no entry fee.
Overall: It is cheaper than the average grocery stores AND all the strawberries taste great because YOU get to choose what you take home. The field is also very large so there is no need to worry about not finding good fruit. Will definitely return next season.

Strawberries were delicious and juicy! It does have a minimum for u-​pick (2 lbs per adult at $ 1.50 per pound, so 4 lbs for $ 6 for a couple), so a family outing could get expensive since I am not sure if there’s a minimum for kids. We were in a hurry and just picked some pre-​picked ones up at the farmstand. The woman at the stand was very friendly and we had a good experience. Early April seems like the best time of the year to go, but there were still plenty when we came by in early May.

This place was wonderful!
I was hesitant to visit given the prior Unilocal reviews but figured we would give it a shot and it would be fine just for the memories.
What we got was a wonderful day full of memories, great service and tons and tons of strawberries!
They had a minimum of 2 lbs/​adult and 1 lb/​kid. We came with 3 adults and 3 kids. 9 lbs of strawberries? Sounds kinda crazy! But given how cheap it was, paying less than $ 20 for a fun time with the family seemed worth it.
We brought our own baskets. Had them weighed before we started picking. The owner gave us some tips on where the best strawberries would be and we were off! Our 3 young kids had a blast. Ran around, got to pick strawberries and even ate a few.
We went to pay and ended up with 11 lbs! Guess 9 lbs wasn’t so crazy after all!
The owner rang us up and totally rounded down and we got away with all those giant delicious strawberries for a steal.
Wonderful farm, people and experience!

It was ok, but we came a bit too late in the strawberry season for this to be an amazing experience. The strawberries were totally picked over and many were in bad shape due to the hordes of people that probably trampled all over that field. The strawberries were disappointingly small too. I’ve been strawberry picking where the strawberries were so amazing, huge, lush and delicious. These were not.
Our other gripe was that they had a minimum purchase. We were a little worried that there wouldn’t be enough strawberries to meet that, but my son was set on strawberry picking. Fortunately, we met our quota, but that included fruit we wouldn’t have normally picked. They did warn us that the fruit was picked over up front.
I would probably come back, but earlier in the season.
