Riverdance Farms

Our organic farm is set in a beautiful meandering section of the lower Merced River (which starts up in Yosemite) less than 2 miles from HWY 99. Our main crops, all certified organic, are blueberries, walnuts, cherries, almonds and oat hay with some mini-plantings of persimmons, pomegranates. pecans and citrus. We replanted almonds in 2015, so we will started a 'real' harvest in August 2018. Wild elderberries and black walnuts are available for gathering in season. Farm Tours and picnics can be arranged. The farm is designing itself along permaculture principles. Hedgerows and wildlife corridors are being planted with plants native to the Valley and California to restore habitat for wildlife, native bees and songbirds. The 2019 Pick and Gather happens over Memorial Day weekend, May 26-28, with the Merced River Fair on Saturday. On Sunday to accompany our local author, Kay Kirihara, and her book, "A Scrapbook Memoir: The Jake and Fran Kirihara Legacy". Continued fruit-picking, organic breakfast and enjoyment of the river and your family and friends on Monday. The Merced River, Live Music, kids' activities, storytelling, and vendors of local art and hand crafted items are here all weekend. Campsites are available Saturday and Sunday nights. Volunteers welcome!! Blueberry, Cherry and Strawberry U-pick, by appointment, for 2018 starting May 19th and runs through mid-June, possibly thru Father's Day Weekend, if fruit is still ripening.
