Cherry orders close tonight. We’re picking cherries, building boxes, and getting ready to ship them all over the country. Took a whole year to get here. Pretty exciting stuff!

I love this view. Decided not to muck it up with text all over it. We picked our first bins of Lapjns this morning, and they’re looking great! Sweethearts next week for our online orders. It’s a beautiful day.

Our oldest daughter tried, but realized we have more than enough to share. She turns 23 today, and refuses to replicate this photo. Happy birthday kid. Order your share of the cherry crop at the link in bio.

Never would’ve even started this without my dad. Thanks, I think! It was definitely more fun when he was around. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, and the dads we’ve lost.

We’re shipping our biggest and best cherries in just a matter of days now! This is the sizing tool we use as a reference to hand select your fruit. “Row sizing” is based on how many cherries would fit in rows across an old 10 1/2-inch wide wooden cherry box decades ago. You’ll see mostly 10 1/2 row in US grocery stores. Smaller numbers mean bigger, tastier cherries. We’ll ship mostly 9 1/2 row and larger to our customers. Reserve yours now!

SPECIAL ALERT FOR WESTSIDE PORTLAND PEOPLE When we decided this year to try to rebuild our farm's connection with the people who enjoy our fruit through a pre-order business, we didn't know exactly where to start. Not surprisingly, Grange chapters like Winona Grange of Tualatin have been some of our biggest supporters. Supporting farmers is a big part of the Grange's mission. If you're on the west side of Portland, it's a great place to pick up you pre-order of fresh-picked cherries on July 11. Hope to see you there!

Cherries will be delivered here to Tualatin, July 11! Go to https://forbiddenfarmsfruit.com/pages/fundlet/WINONA to order

Hot, dry summer days are almost here. We count on an amazing irrigation system in the Lake Chelan Valley to produce some of the world’s best fruit. Thanks to the Lake Chelan Reclamation District crew, and all the people who turn the early-morning valves, fix the busted pipes, and keep the orchards thriving.
