A Colorful U-Pick Flower Farm, The Urban Edge Farm In Northern California Is Like Something From A Dream

It’s such an easy thing to go to the local farmer’s market or grocery store to purchase a beautiful boutique of flowers. And we probably don’t think too much about the work that went into growing them. At The Urban Edge Farm, you not only get to see flowers as they move along their growth journey, but you can also pick your own colorful hues, providing a greater sense of ownership and appreciation for the beauty they bring to your life. This lovely farm makes flower picking extra special!

Located in the town of Brentwood, approximately 40 minutes from Downtown Oakland in the heart of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, The Urban Edge Farm is a family affair.

This multigenerational enterprise started back in the 1930s as the Cecchini Ranch, named after the patriarch and matriarchs of the family - Bob & Barbara Cecchini. Today, it is run by their offspring.

Encompassing 34 acres, The Urban Edge Farm focuses on organic certified, sustainable farming practices that meld with and help support the local agricultural area.

Cultivating precious habitat areas while utilizing careful and mindful growing techniques, including composting, is of the utmost importance here. This thoughtful way of running things sets a great example for all farms offering flower picking in Northern California!

The multi-hued flowers grown here flow beautifully with the seasons.

Blessed with great seasonal weather and bolstered by the rich agricultural soil prevalent in the region, the plant life is abundant.

Families come from all around the region to pick their own bouquets of flowers.

Just grab a bucket, meander through the verdant rows, and take a sniff or two along the way. It all puts a smile on your face!

Future plans include expanding the property land. That may provide more room to grow beauties like these.

The Urban Edge Farm is more than just flowers! They also grow a wide array of all-organic you-pick fruits. These include cherries, pomegranates, peaches, plums, apricots, figs, and persimmons, just to name a few.

Organic vegetables and herbs are part of the bounty available here as well.

If you prefer not to pick your own produce, you can visit their farm store where you can also purchase pies, honey, pickles, jams and jellies, oils, fresh bread, vinegar, eggs, and a wide array of other locally grown and made products.
