[UPDATE: JULY 27]
The sour cherries are still not quite ripe enough for picking. We are tentatively planning for opening next weekend -- Aug 2 or 3? More updates to follow.
[ORIGINAL POST: JULY 18]
After a cool, wet spring, the cherries are trying hard to ripen, and the hot temperatures that we've been seeing over the past two weeks should encourage them along.
Sour Cherry U-Pick in the St. Therese Institute orchards might be opened by July 27, but it may also take a few extra days for the fruit to push through to that perfect-to-pick point.
We are anticipating that there will still be fruit available for U-Pick during Bruno Cherry Sunday on Aug. 11, 2024!
