We stopped at this stand and they gave me a tour, showed us how they are picked and all the basics that I never knew about cherries. Did you know they use helicopters to hover over the trees and dry the cherries after it rains? The rain ruins them, they swell and split if too wet. They even said I could paint in their orchard - SO tempting but we were anxious to get to Glacier. The daughter was from Ft. Collins (a french teacher) and comes back in the summer for a couple of weeks to help the family business. They were so nice and it was the best $3 we ever spent. Yep, only $3 a pound picked fresh off the trees.
The Best Cherries!
