Cherry Crop Status

The cherries are in full bloom.  We had good weather for the first 5 days of the bloom, with active bees.  It is now quite cold, with rain, which is unfortunate, because the bees can’t get out to do their job.  The bloom is lighter than past years, and with the rain, we may have fewer cherries, but this will also help them be a little larger when they develop. Stay tuned for more information, including opening dates as soon as we have them.
