Pick Your Favorite Cherry
“We grow our cherries in the shadow of the snow-capped peaks of the Cascade Mountains rising from the banks of the beautiful Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.”
There may be nothing on earth that matches the flavor and joy that comes from eating a fresh sweet cherry. Fresh cherries are only available for a short time in the summer. Here at Orchard View we focus on planting different varieties in the best locations to stretch the fresh cherry season, giving you more opportunities to enjoy nature’s perfect treat.
Technically, cherries are members of the Rosaceae family, genus Prunus, and thus cousins to almonds, apricots, peaches, and plums. The cherries we grow here at Orchard View are “sweet” cherries, or Prunus Avium, which do not require cooking. “Sour” cherries or “pie cherries” usually require cooking before eating and, in North America, are mostly grown in Michigan.
We grow a number of varieties of delicious light and dark sweet cherries. We process and package the fresh cherries on site, allowing us to get them to you faster and fresher than ever.
