Harvesting cherries with the mechanical harvester is an efficient way to harvest sour cherries in preparation for them to be pitted in our processing facility. Pitted sweet and sour cherries are available in our farm market and at select markets and grocery stores. Fresh pitted cherries are available in the month of July. Dates may vary depending on the season - please give us a call to check availability.

After the cherries are shaken off of the tree, they travel up the conveyor belt into a tank of icy cold water.  This is where they will get prepped for pitting.
