CHERRY SHOPS AND STANDS
Even if you miss the blossoms or harvest, the bigger cherry orchards have tours, events and shops filled with cherry-based food products. And there's always something cherry-related in season at roadside stands and markets.
Lautenbach's Orchard Country Winery & Market, 9197 State 42, Fish Creek: It's a one-stop cherry experience: tours, wine samples and cherry food products for sale. Enjoy a closeup view of blossoms and pick your own tart cherries.
Seaquist Orchards Farm Market, 11482 State 42, Sister Bay: The bakery takes the cake, or rather pie, from Muffin Mondays to Fritter Fridays at this orchard and shop just north of Sister Bay. The family-owned operation is into its fifth generation and boasts approximately 1,000 acres of tart cherry trees that on average produces about 6 million pounds of cherries.
