FARM MARKET

Tart cherries typically come around the end of  July and first part of August each year. We get these cherries in one time a year. You can contact us to see if you have any remaining cherries in our Market. 

We do still have some frozen cherries available. When visiting our Market feel free to ask us to purchase and we will bring them out.

Cherries will come in 10 pound bags with a 30 pound order quantity at a reduced price. We feel that this IQF (individual quick freezing) cherry straight from a Michigan family farm will be an excellent product.
What is IQF?
The Individual Quick Freeze process freezes the fruit without creating large ice crystals that can rupture cell walls and damage the authentic structure. This allows the cherries to be harvested at their absolute peak freshness and preservative free.

What are tart cherries good for?

The red tart cherries are excellent for canning, freezing and baking. They are grade A, pitted and harvested at the peak of ripeness. The pitted red tart cherries are packed without sugar because that is the most popular request. No doubt diabetics and others avoiding or watching sugar in their diets account for this. Further, cherries packed without sugar are more easily used in baking, etc. so you do not need to try calculating changes in recipes. 

Cherries should be kept frozen until you are ready to use them.  You can use them in recipes straight from the freezer, or thaw.

One quart of tart cherries weighs about 2 pounds. It also equals 4 cups when pitted. It takes approximately 1-1/2 pounds of fresh pitted cherries to fill a 9″ pie and there are 58 calories in 3-1/2 ounces of cherries.
