YES!! Memorial day and weekend are known the be a wonderful time to cherry pick. The cherries are sweet and delicious and the experience is great fun!
Typically the trees are ready for picking late April/early May. The fruit needs to be just right for your arrival! The season ends around the end of June and sometimes even early July.
Our cherry season's timing slightly varies each season. The weather throughout the year is what determines when the cherries will be ready for picking. We don't know the exact opening date until we get very close to the time cherries are ready to be enjoyed. Keep a look out starting in April! Sweet Lou's grows Bing, Coral Champagne, Brooks, Royal Hazel, White Rainier, Santina and Sweetheart Cherries. The cherries ripen at different times during the season, so there's always something new to enjoy. W recommend checking our social media pages for frequent updates on what is currently available for picking.
