What does altitude have to do with growing fruit? Our cherries take longer to mature. The cool summer nights result in fruit that is not only sweeter and bigger, but also available later in the season. After ripening to perfection on the tree, the cherries are picked, cooled and packaged right here at the orchard. With this winning combination of Mother Nature and modern technology, our Bings, Rainiers, Vans and Lapins are consistently praised as the best-tasting cherries on the market.
