Anticipating Cherries at Mt View Orchards

June 17, 2016 Katrina McAlexander

I can hardly believe another year has past and we are going to be opening up are farm again to you all for "pick your own," 2016 cherry season on Friday, June 24th!.  We are getting many phone calls a day asking if its time to pick so I figured I would write about it this morning. We have a spectacular cherry crop this year which is a huge gift since last year our cherries got almost completely taken out by the 2014 November freeze.  This year in 2016 is the complete opposite problem.   We have had to do some thinning and propping up of limbs because they are so generously covered in sweet red cherries and Rainier cherries. Growing cherries is Parkdale is always a bit precarious but we love cherries and are willing to take the risk as farmers.  You never know what kind of crop you are going to get every year as a farmer and this year we are loaded!  We grow cherries 100% for our community and do not ship any of them.  We have Bings, Lapins, Lambert, Rainier and Sweetheart varieties. The price range depends on the amount of pounds purchased this year.  They are grown with love with our local community and All Fruit CSA in mind. We are opening up our farm stand on June 24th at 10am for the beginning of cherry season. Bring boxes or bags and picnic lunch and enjoy our farm. We are open this time of year Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays 10-5pm and Sundays from Noon-5pm. Hope to see you all soon! xoxo your grateful farmer, Trina

Honeycrisp apples are a favorite @mtvieworchards and today we are going to be sharing some forward with our local food bank. Apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids, and dietary fiber. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. @mtvieworchards we believe everyone deserves to enjoy the best of our 2018 local apple harvests. We have them in our farm stand as well if you want to pick some up for your lunches. #mtvieworchards #afarmthatcares #afarmthatgathers #afarmthatgivesback #apples #honeycrisps
