Lazy K Ranch Cherry U-Pick - we use OMRI organic sprays only

05/23/2026

CLOSED for the 2026 season! We are unable to open 2026 due to insufficient cherry crop this year. Not enough chill hours and ill timed rain, heat. We will miss seeing all the beautiful people / families that come to enjoy our farm. We look forward to next season!

California doesn’t really do predictable either… it just changes zip codes. 🌴🌤️

Out here, the unofficial state uniform is hoodie and shorts—because committing to the weather is still a rookie mistake. 😭

It’s that mindset of,
“Yeah it’s 95 inland right now… but drive 40 minutes toward the coast and suddenly you need a hoodie.”

The shorts are for when the sun decides to go full Central Valley mode like it’s trying to cook the sidewalk… and the hoodie is for when that coastal breeze shows up acting like it owns the whole afternoon.

You’ll see it everywhere—gas stations off Highway 99, beach parking lots, coffee runs before work, road trips through the hills, someone standing outside like they dressed for three different forecasts at once.

No hesitation.
No second guessing.
Just California layering logic.

Because in California, the forecast isn’t a plan… it’s a location-based surprise.

You wake up to fog, hit dry heat by lunch, catch wind by evening, and somehow still end the day asking,
“Wait… am I hot or cold?” 😅

It’s not about fashion.

It’s about surviving a state where the coast says one thing, the valley says another, the mountains have their own opinion, and the desert is just screaming in the background.

Welcome to California—
where hoodie and shorts isn’t an outfit…

it’s a survival strategy. 🌊☀️

Wishing you all the warmest season’s greetings and Happy Holidays as we remember the reason for the season is a baby born in a manger, often called Emanuel - “God with us”. The Word of God born to us in the flesh so we could know Him.

This less traditional rock song's lyrics says it so well...

The Modern Post (Dustin Kensrue) - This Is War Lyrics

"This is war like you ain't seen
This winter's long, it's cold and mean
With downcast hearts, we stood condemned,
But the tide turns now at Bethlehem.

This is war, and born tonight
The Word as flesh, the Lord of Light,
The Son of God, the low-born King,
Whom demons fear, of whom angels sing.

Hallelujah! A Child is born!
He is the rescue we've waited for!
The Throne of David, He will restore
And reign with mercy forevermore!

This is war on sin and death,
The dark will take its final breath;
It shakes the earth, confounds all plans,
The mystery of God-as-man!"
