Leelanau County is one of the largest tart cherry processing counties in the state. Northwest Michigan produces almost half of the U.S. supply of tart cherries year after year.
Over the past fi ve years the cherry industry has been working hard to re-create the image of tart cherries as today’s hottest new Superfruit. After years of investing in health benefi t research, today it’s clear that cherries have powerful anti-infl ammatory properties that are all natural and good for you.
More importantly cherries are part of the fabric of Leelanau County. From blossom time (around Mother’s Day) to harvest (July) growers work hard to cultivate and grow their crop. Their goal… to deliver to you the very best fruit they can – packed with Antioxidants and Anthocyanins for good health.
For more information on the health benefi ts of tart cherries and some great recipes check out our web-site www.choosecherries.com and don’t forget to eat your cherries today!
Special thanks to Leelanau Enterprise for their Salute to Cherries!

Eighty degrees is good for spring break, but not if you’re a cherry grower and you haven’t left Leelanau County.
And so it was that the 2012 cherry crop — the one that was coming as stock was low and demand was growing — never came to be.
Those in the cherry industry hung their heads for maybe a couple weeks or so while spring’s frosts gave way to summer’s warmth. Grieving ended quickly. Trees, bearing only leaves, needed to be sprayed.

Great expectations moved to great consternation as shakers saw little light. Temporary fi xes patched together family budgets for another year.
While the cherry crop was lost, cherry trees are healthy and stand ready to deliver a new crop this summer. Hopefully a bumper crop — something the
industry has not sought in many, many years.
The stars have moved little in the last year, and remain aligned in favor of the cherry industry. Cherries, in our humble opinion, are the healthiest fruit among a bushel full that seek the title.
The other fruits can’t have it. The cherry industry is poised for a comeback.
