The cherries have ripened faster than I expected the last few days. After a freakout yesterday (July 4) we opened up the u-pick and the black sweet cherries are coming in beautifully. This weekend should be very good picking.
The raspberries are coming in too but we don’t have huge volumes of raspberries so it takes more management. Many ripen overnight but the early bird u-pickers have an easier tome filling their pints. The berries taste great this year.
We are still at least a week away on tart cherries, but apricots are starting to turn color so I think they will start in about a week or so.
