Our Cherries
From the first Chelans of June to our newest Burgundy Pearl, discover the four varieties we grow with pride.
Cherry Varieties
Each variety has a unique flavor profile, color, and harvest window.
Bing
Deep mahogany red
The classic cherry. Rich, sweet, and juicy with a firm texture that makes it perfect for fresh eating. The gold standard against which all other sweet cherries are measured.
Chelan
Dark red to mahogany
The premium early-season cherry that kicks off the Northwest harvest. Mildly sweet with a firm texture, Chelan cherries are eagerly anticipated each year as the first taste of the season.
Rainier
Yellow with a distinctive red blush
The golden showstopper. Exceptionally sweet and delicate with lower acidity than dark cherries, the creamy yellow flesh has a refined, almost honey-like sweetness that commands premium pricing.
Santina — Burgundy Pearl
Deep burgundy, almost black
Our newest variety. Santina cherries — marketed as Burgundy Pearl — are large, firm, and intensely sweet with a rich, complex flavor. A next-generation cherry that delivers exceptional eating quality and outstanding shelf life.
