It’s Cherry Time! Your favorite sweet cherries are ripening right along. Now that warmer weather is in the forecast the early varieties should be ready right after the Fourth of July.
Flowers are already blooming beautifully. You can choose a fresh bouquet for as many weeks as you like. Or you can get a gorgeous bouquet every week all season long!
Our Cherry CSA subscriptions promise a season of delicious sweets to enjoy fresh off the tree. Some are old favorite varieties. Others are newer types that are bigger and more flavorful.
Subscriptions last four weeks and you receive two generous quarts per week. The price is less than you will pay at the Farmer’s Market or at the orchard this summer. You are also guaranteed an assortment of varieties!
Pick the package that suits your family. Remember to add an extra quart or two for summer visitors.
