Great place to pick your own or buy a small basket of organic cherries. They charge $8.00 a pound which is really pricy, but when you eat your first cherry, you'll know the why it's worth every penny.
My boyfriend and I decided to pick our own to avoid any bruises and "cuts" on the fruit itself and it was such a fun experience! They let you sample the cherries as you pick them. Just grab a bucket and start your adventure! The staff advised that a full bucket is about 5 pounds worth of cherries.
Walking through the aisles, there are different types of cherries to pick.
1. Tart cherries -good for smoothies, but it really is tart. My boyfriends calls them cherry bombs because of that tart bite. I only liked it because the seed stuck to the stem.
2. Dark red/purple - extremely sweet! And they are so plump!!! These were so good
3. Ranier - of course this is the biggest reason I wanted to go cherry picking. So delicious and tastes way different than in Utah (where I'm currently living) and the grocery stores.
The orchard is hidden, but if you go towards the state park following the signs, you'll see this on your left side. They're also only open from. Wednesday - Saturday from 10am-2pm. read more
