Brewing & Direct Sales
If you need larger quantities of fresh fruit for eating, brewing or processing, we can have your order filled and waiting.
The earlier you place your order the more likely it is to get filled.
New varieties are continually ripening and the older fruit won’t last long.
We would like to have no more than 2 days between when the fruit gets picked until it leaves the farm.
FAQs
What is the best way to transport cherries?
It is easiest to transport cherries by a stackable bin which is 4′ x 4′ x 16″ tall and contains appx 375 – 400 lbs of cherries. A bin will generally fit between the wheelwells of a full sized pickup.
How are the cherries weighed?
Orders will be weighed on commercially certified scales on site then loaded into your vehicle with a forklift.
Can I have my cherries without stems?
Yes, you can choose to have your cherries picked with or without stems.
When is the best time to order cherries?
As a general rule, when a variety first ripens it is prettier and ships better. The longer the fruit hangs on the tree though the more a rich flavor develops but it looses some aesthetic value.
Can you help me decide the best variety?
Just let us know your intended use and we will help you find the variety and maturity that should work best for you.
What is the best cherry for processing?
Many varieties are great for fresh eating but for processing you’ll want them very ripe. Here are some of the best:
Bing – Traditional and still one of the best for complexity of flavor
Regina – Ripens later in the season but still has a good balance of acid/sweetness like Bing.
Montmorency – Tart Cherry available mid July
Ranier – The best flavor complexity of the yellow cherries but typically not used for processing.
Lapins, Skeena, and other varieties are large fruit and make good fresh eating.
