The Cherry Harvest is one of the busiest times of the year.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Here about the cherry harvest.  Our Plant in operation for a little over a week.
 
 
 
 
Here is one of our cherry shakers 
it goes up to the tree and on the front of it 
it has a clamp that will hang on to the tree and shake it. 
 
 
The cherries are being dumped into a tank.
There is a belt that will take them out of the 
tank and move them though the destemmer 
and the eliminator than they are brought into 
cherry factory.
 
 
 
Here the shaker has the has the wings out 
and is shaking the cherry off the tree 
it takes around one or two minutes 
to get the cherries off the the tree.

Then the cherries go though the
pitters and than they go thought the 
sorters.  then they make it to the belt 
where they are sorted out than.
 
This is the cooling pad where the cherries 
are brought after being loaded up on the 
truck from the orchard. 
Here this is where the tanks where the leaves 
are removed and where there cooled down 
and iced down and sit till there ready to 
be processed.
 
Then the belt takes the cherries to
to the filler for the containors 25 Lbs buckets.
The Bucket are filled with 25 pounds 
of cherries and they are also filled with 
5 lb of sugar. They are put on a skid and
wrapped with plastic. Then they are trucked 
to a cold storage unit for storage, they are 
for sale to food processers.  
 
 
 
 
We also have pick your cherries. In July and August.  it all depends on if the cherry
season is early or later it best to give a call to see when the cherries will be ready.
The pick your own is picked in our orchards behind the store.
We also have Bing Cherries already picked for sale in the store when they
are in season.
