National Cherry Festival organizers were happy to hear the Northern Michigan cherry crop cooperated this year.
Typically the sweet cherry crops aren’t ready to be picked until the end of July, but this year farmers were able to get out and pick early.
“I think people are surprised that they’re local cherries. We’ve had to reiterate to people that they are right here from Michigan,” says Steve Rubinus.
Rubinus has been selling cherries for Edmondson Orchard all week at the National Cherry Festival.
He says it isn’t often that the sweet cherry crop is ready this early, but their crews have been out the last week picking cherries from trees.
