Fantastic Cherries
Ordering online was easy and we were kept up to date with the delivery schedule. The cherries were packaged well and fresh no damage. These are some of the loveliest cherries we’ve had. They were large, juicy, sweet and crunchy! Perfect! You can only get this quality direct from the orchard. Thank you. Will order again.

Perfect cherries
The cherries were the best I have ever eaten. Large size, delicious, perfectly ripe.
I registered to request them on a certain day is I have with purchases from other growers. However, I understand that you are a new orchard and presumably next season, presumably processes will be in place so that we can pre-order.
