Tart cherries are being harvested at all farms as well. It is a bit unusual to have tart cherry harvest follow the beginning of sweet cherry harvest by only a few days. Normally there is about a week to 10 day lag between the beginning of harvest season for these two cherry crops. We do have a good crop of tart cherries across southeast Michigan. Tart cherries however are not as plentiful as sweet cherries.
Most farms also offer pitting machines.
Tart cherries will be available for the next 2-3 weeks at most farms. Summer red raspberry harvest has begun at many farms as well. Black raspberries are expected to begin to be harvested any day now. We have a great looking crop of summer red and black raspberries coming along. Our winter and spring were very favorable for their development.
