A century ago, the Montmorency cherry was a cash crop in Loveland, Colo. Today, Colorado Cherry Company co-owner Elias Lehnert says his fourth-generation family business’ name can be somewhat confusing.
“(Cherries) are not really grown in Colorado at scale anymore,” Lehnert lamented.
At the height of every fruit pie season, Lehnert and his family are searching the state for locally grown cherries, but they’ll often end up sourcing primarily from Utah and as far away as Michigan.
“When you find good Colorado cherries, get ’em and get ’em fast,” agreed Amy Kafka, owner of Garden Sweet in Fort Collins.
