What are Flathead Cherries?

 
Well... there really is no such thing as a "Flathead Cherry" any more than there is a "Washington Cherry."  It's just the area in which the cherry is grown.  Flathead cherries come from Northwestern Montana and are grown in abundance around Flathead Lake.  The variety of cherry we sell depends on the season:  Vann cherries early (or late, if you like them sweeter), Lambert cherries through the bulk of the season (we love this flavor best!!) and Lapins late in the season.  Rainier, Royal Ann, Sweetheart, Deacon, Bing, and many other varieties of cherries are grown in the area also.

Our sweet cherries come from Yellow Bay - an area south of Bigfork on the east side of Flathead Lake.  Flathead Lake is huge and provides mild winters and warm summers - just the right mix to produce a suberbly sweet "Flathead Cherry".



Good season this year - thanks  to everyone who participated!!  Our crop was a little bit light, but we are looking forward to a better crop next year.  We learned that you want rainier cherries and are taking steps to make sure you get them in the future.  While we didn't quite get to Colorado and Nebraska this year, we hold out hope for being there in 2012.  Look forward to seeing you again next year!!

On another note, we've planted raspberries and blueberries and hope to have a supply  for farmers' markets in a few years.  Keep your fingers crossed!
