LAist helpfully reminds us that it's fruit-picking time at the Orcutt Ranch in West Hills.
The ranch -- a popular site for weddings -- only allows fruit picking twice a year. In the fall, that means white grapefruit. People will be able to stop by this Saturday from 7am to 2pm, LAist notes, for their fill of the tart fruit. The fee: $2 for each filled shopping bag; $5 for a filled medium-sized box; and $1 for a fruit picker rental.
More details from the Orcutt Ranch website:
The Orcutt Ranch, formally called Rancho Sombra del Roble, was the vacation and retirement estate of William Warren Orcutt and his wife Mary Logan Orcutt. The adobe residence, as well as the estate’s garden, ranch structures, oak trees, and citrus orchard have historic significance because of the distinction of its owner W.W. Orcutt, pioneer of the oil production industry in California and discoverer of the prehistoric fossils at the LaBrea Tar Pits.
