Fieldtrip 101: Riley's Farm

Strawberries are probably the most loved fruit in our household, so it's no surprise that we love picking our own from a local farm.

Riley's Farm is about 15 minutes from Yucaipa/Beaumont and nestled in the small town of Oak Glen. Famous for it's U-Pick apples in the fall, there are plenty of activities to enjoy year round! From Revolutionary War reenactments to themed dinner events, and there's plenty of u-pick opportunities, as well- Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Pears, Apples and even Zinnias!

We spent the morning there picking fresh strawberries. I recommend calling ahead to check their crop availability, as it was a little sparse when we showed up. We still were able to grab a couple pints full of delicious red berries.

After your day of harvesting, you can browse through their general store or enjoy a slice of fresh baked apple pie from their bakery! (Crumb Crust is our fave!)
