The sweetest summertime snack
Our prime orchard real estate in the lush Pacific Northwest grants us a long cherry season. We’re able to provide fresh cherries early in the year out of our orchards in Mattawa, Washington and later in the season from our Odell, Oregon orchards. As one of the premier growers and shippers of sweet Northwest cherries, Starr Ranch Growers moves an impressive 2.5 million cartons of the fruit each year.
We proudly offer several dark sweet varieties — including rich Chelans, exceptionally large Tietons, and the ever-popular Bings — in addition to lovely Rainier cherries. Starr Ranch Growers is notorious for having cherries that are juicy and bursting with incredible flavor!
Dark Sweet
June – August
Explosively juicy, sweet, and firm. These shiny, deep red all-purpose cherries make a delicious snack straight from the bag or can be used for baking, juicing, and freezing.
Rainier
July – August
Ultra-sweet and truly tastes like nature’s candy. These cherries are yellow with a bright red blush and make fantastic additions to yogurt, oatmeal, and just about any dessert recipe.
Small fruit, big health benefits
Cherries are a low-calorie fruit that’s rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Equally sweet and tart, cherries are packed with numerous health-benefiting compounds that are essential for wellness.
Cherries are the perfect on-the-go snack food, but they’re also wonderful additions to recipes. Better yet, cherries can and freeze well, meaning you can enjoy a scrumptious homemade cherry pie in the middle of winter.
