A little late on an end of cherry season post but we’ve been busy trying to extend these cherries as long as possible! If you don’t want to wait until next season we now have 3 cherry products to get you by. We took your feedback and we now have dehydrated cherries available in 3 varieties - Tart Pie, Flathead Sweet Red Lambert, and Golden Stargold. We also have dark red cherry juice available in quart and half gallon sizes made from our delicious Flathead Sweet Red Lambert cherries. The juice is made using a steam juicer and then water bath canned. And last but definitely not least are our pitted frozen Flathead Sweet Red Cherries in the Lambert variety. Available in a 20 lb box (that has four 5 lb bags) or by the 5 lb bag. Local pickup only for the frozen cherries and juice. The dehydrated cherries will ship for all of my out of state friends! And a big bonus no added sugar to any of these items!! Pricing available on the website or message me for more info. Thanks!!

Canned pure cherry juice in both quart and half gallon jars. $8 for a quart and $12 for half gallon. Local pickup at orchard or limited delivery options. Limited availability on Rainier juice, canned last season in both sizes. Half gallon Flathead Sweet Red cherry juice also canned last season. Quarts being canned this season. Flathead Sweet Red comes from Lambert variety - very traditional and juicy cherry. No sugar added.

Update on Pitted Cherries!! We took the cherries into the commercial pitter yesterday so they will be ready soon. Looking to deliver to Missoula next week and will also have them available in the orchard for pickup. Happy to stop along the route. Prices are $80 for a 20 lb box or $25 for a 5 lb bag.

We also have a handful of boxes leftover from last season that I will sell for 20% off.
