Sour Cherries
This variety of sour cherries is more sour when the fruit is lighter colour. We have a large orchard with almost 1000 sour cherry trees! Sour cherry season typically lasts between 3 and 5 weeks.

Montmorency Sour Cherries
Our sour cherries are montmorency variety, which originate in France. They are different (less sour) than the varieties of sour cherries which are grown in Persia. The lighter coloured sour cherries are more sour and the darker coloured sour cherries are more sweet with this variety.
Cherry Picking Conditions
Sweet Cherry Orchards: OPEN
Open daily, including Sundays, rain or shine! NOTE: the sour cherry orchard will be temporarily closed on Tuesday July 7th from 5-7pm and will reopen July 8th at 8am. We have pre-picked sour cherries for sale.
Our SWEET CHERRY orchards are now open! While some cherries have split and begun to spoil, there are still many good cherries on the trees. It’s a short season, so get yours soon! We are not sure how long the cherries will last and hope to still have cherries on trees for the July 11/12 weekend.
Our sweet cherry orchard will be open for as long as we have fruit on the trees!
Please check here often for updates on picking conditions.
Sour Cherry Orchards: Open
Open daily rain or shine!
With the heatwave, the sour cherries have ripened quickly – faster than we have ever seen! They are ripe and ready to eat! The trees have lots of fruit and picking is easy.
We suggest getting yours soon because with the weather conditions and the increased demand due to crop shortages elsewhere, these may not be available after the July 11/12 weekend. Please check back for updates.
This variety gets more sweet with time on the tree. The sour cherries on the inside of the tree will be more sour than the fruit on the outside of the tree, which gets more sun.
Its best to get yours soon because these will be extra popular this year since other farms in the region have less fruit.
Farm Market: Open!

We have implemented a basket fee, in addition to the cost of fruit, in order to keep prices lower despite increased costs. This means that if you bring your own basket, you won’t pay the basket fee. That said, your basket needs to look like one of our basket options and sizes to enter the orchard. Baskets that do not look like these or are sized differently, will not be allowed in the orchard. The good news is that you can save your basket for use next year to save the fee!
Basket fees are as follows: $2 for paper baskets with wooden handles (3L, 4L or 7L sizes), $3 for wooden 7L baskets.
Before You Visit

Planning your visit to a farm checklist from Farm Fresh Ontario.
Please review this farm etiquette guide before visiting a farm.
The best way to store cherries is unwashed in your refrigerator. Wash your cherries right before you eat or process them, but not before you store them as washing affects the natural cuticle of the cherry skin and will cause them to spoil faster. We recommend bringing a cooler to transport your cherries back home. If you pick cherries in the rain, then it’s best to dry them on a tea towel at home before putting them in the fridge. Refrigerate cherries in a breathable container, such as cardboard, and not in a plastic bag. Do not leave cherries on the counter. They will not ripen more off the tree (like other fruits do). Grocery store cherries are often treated with a chemical to give them a longer shelf life.
