Sweet Mountain Bing Cherries<\/a><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s nothing quite like Sweet Mountain Bing Cherries<\/a>, and here at Hale Groves, we can feel the excitement building. In the weeks leading up to harvest, our farmers are out in the orchards every day, inspecting the trees and sampling the fruit\u2014looking closely at size, color, and ripeness, and of course, tasting them too. That\u2019s how we know exactly when the cherries have reached their peak. The moment the timing is just right, harvest begins at sunrise. Picking early means the fruit is cool and firm, preserving the exceptional quality we\u2019re known for.<\/p>\n

Each cherry is carefully hand-picked\u2014not shaken, not rushed\u2014because it\u2019s the only way to protect the delicate skin and preserve the rich, juicy flavor inside. This hands-on approach may take more time, but it\u2019s how we ensure every cherry that leaves our grove tastes like summer at its best. We\u2019re just a couple weeks away from shipping, and from what we\u2019re seeing on the trees, this season is shaping up to be one of the most flavorful yet. Stay tuned\u2014something truly special is on its way.<\/p>\n
