Summer harvest has officially arrived! Across our orchards, Northwest cherries, blueberries, and apricots are being picked throughout our growing regions. In this month’s orchard update, Dave Gleason shares how our teams are carefully harvesting and how we carefully handle our summer fruit to preserve its freshness and quality, why this year’s cherries are some of the sweetest, firmest, and largest we’ve seen, and how favorable growing conditions have set the stage for an outstanding season across our summer crops.
