A Look Inside the Groves – June 2024 Grove Update!

Sweet Mountain Bing Cherries:

In the weeks and days leading up to harvest, there is a lot of attention on sampling cherries. Visually checking cherries for size, color, and quality – and tasting them too – is the best way to determine the optimal time to harvest. The day to harvest our cherry trees has come. Our farmers start picking with the rising sun in order to get the cherries off the tree before the heat of the day sets in. Each cherry is hand-picked from the tree! This is done because it’s the best way to avoid bruising, and maintain the fresh-off-the-tree firmness and dessert quality. We are still a couple weeks out before the season is underway, but we can feel it coming just around the corner. This years cherries are looking great and we are expecting a full and delicious crop.
