Cherries

Our incredibly sweet and juicy Plump-Sweet Cherries are claret-colored, have a delightfully crisp bite, and will be shipping soon. Also on the way are Rainier cherries, a cross between a Bing and Van, which have a creamy golden color and a sweeter, more delicate flavor. A quick fun fact, Rainier cherries are named after the highest peak in Washington. Both are handpicked at peak ripeness in the Pacific Northwest and packaged with extra care to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

NOW HAPPENING IN THE ORCHARDS

Spring weather was ideal for a good fruit set for both our peaches and pears. Our hard-working orchard teams are now busy dialing in the irrigation system and fertilizing the trees as the proper amount of water and nutrients now will pay big dividends come harvest time.
