The crop of sweet cherries this year is huge! We are opening u-pick on July 4th. It is always a challenge because the cherries don’t ripen evenly so the first couple days are always a little slower and more selective picking. We want people to be happy with the cherries they pick, so it just takes a little more work. We want volume pickers to be aware that the cherries will be darker and possibly sweeter with each passing day. By Monday or Tuesday, cherry harvest will be in full force.
Tart cherries should be ready for picking around July 15th. We have a great crop of raspberries but they are slowly trickling in. Picking should be better by next week (7/7).
