As the 2011 cherry season came to an end, we began to think about how the year went, and about what we are going to change next year. Every year is, of course, different. This year the weather played a big factor. The spring was very cool, and so all the cherries were 2 to 3 weeks late.

We can't wait for 2012 season to begin, as we plan extend the season even further with both earlier and later varieties of sweet cherries, as well as sour cherries, if we can find them. Check back for updates on new cherry varieties, or subscribe to our weekly email newsletter to find out the latest, up-to-date news on all our products, including cherries.

***WHAT HAPPY CUSTOMERS SAY***
"I just wanted to compliment you on the last order of cherries I received from you. They were the best cherries I've ever eaten. They were huge, meaty, and sweet. I didn't spot a single--not one--blemish in the whole batch. Thank you...I'll be a repeat customer for sure!" --Maura
***WHAT THE PRESS SAYS!***
"The best cherries ever, delivered to your door."

***EARLY ROBINS, RAINIERS, BINGS, LAPINS or SWEETHEARTS, OH MY!*** How to choose? Well, you can always order the full Season of Fresh Cherries: one box of each variety (except Rainiers) delivered over the course of the cherry season! But if that is too many cherries for you, here's our super-speedy run-down of the varieties:

* Early Robins: An early-season Rainier-like, light-skinned, sweet cherry. Very low acid.
* Rainiers: Rare outside of Washington State, Rainiers have a pale, yellow-ish pink-ish skin, with a very sweet flavor.
* Bings: Famous Bings are delicious, dark-red sweet cherries, firm and juicy.
* Lapins: Harder to come by outside our region, Lapins are big, firm, almost crunchy to the bite, and lusciously juicy.
* Sweethearts: The last to ripen, Sweethearts have a hint more tang to their sweetness, and they're not as enormous as the Lapins.

*Local customers -- please call for local price on cherries. Local orders must be picked up at our store.
