Update from the Orchard (May)


With the spring bloom behind us, we now anxiously await the arrival of this season's Orondo Rubies and continue to make preparations in the orchard for our upcoming harvest. 

The sunny, warm weather of central Washington is perfect for growing cherries. One method we use to help capture the sun’s growing power is by laying down a white, reflective cloth material to help bounce more sunshine into the trees, and more importantly, onto the cherries. This practice not only helps the cherries to grow, but also ensures they are the bright beautiful red color you’ve come to know and love about the Orondo Ruby.

The clock is ticking and soon we’ll all be enjoying another season of Orondo Ruby cherries. We can't wait!
