Set among the fruit lands of Lincoln, Cherry Avenue Farms is an established u-pick orchard that lets visitors gather their own tree fruit straight from the source. The season opens with sweet and sour cherries and rolls into apricots, plums, peaches, pears and nectarines as each variety ripens, so the picking on offer changes week to week through the summer.
Part of the appeal is the experience: baskets are provided and tractor-drawn wagon rides carry pickers out to the orchard rows, making it an easy, hands-on outing for families. It is a working seasonal farm, so travellers should check ahead to see which fruit is ready before setting out.
