SWEET CHERRIES!
The time is here! King Orchards’ sweet cherry season has officially started! This is the best crop we have had in years! We have cherries in the market for sale by the quart, flat (8 quarts), and 20 lb lug. Today we started sending U-pickers out and they are coming back with some great looking cherries! We are all getting excited for the great season ahead and hope you are as well, so bring out the family for some orchard fun!
Raspberry U-pick is also in full swing! We have tons and they are beautiful! People have been coming back from the orchard very happy with the raspberries they have picked, so be sure to check them out while you’re visiting the farm!
We are still looking at tart cherries starting around the 18th. Keep checking in with us and we will have a more accurate estimate as the week progresses.

Hi,
Do you think we’ll still be able to pick sweet cherries the first weekend of August?
Thanks!
Hi Tina,
Our internet has been sketchy since the storm one week ago. We use a wireless that goes from farm silo to silo, really! I spent hours trying to reply to email and blog queries but it would keep timing out. To top it off when the web goes down my provider (a local company since we do not get cable) quits answering their phone so I can’t get info on where the problem is.
We expect to wind up sweet picking Wednesday July 27 here at the M88 farm. At the US 31 market we have a late variety of black sweet cherry called Hudson which will still be available for upick all this week and probably until August 2. It is doubtful that we will still have some to pick August 6th but do call and maybe there will still be some.
