Pick your own
On arrival you will be guided through the orchard to the freshest, ripest cherries. It doesn't get any better then picking it straight from the tree. We can provide a demonstration on how to select and pick the cherries and answer any questions you may have about our orchard and our produce. Once you have finished picking, your fruit is weighed and packaged for you ready to take home.
