The best thing about June for my family is our cherry tree. My kids climb it year round, but in June...the cherries are ripe to perfection. We climb and pick cherries until our mouths and buckets are full.
Every year we invite people over to pick our cherries. This particular cherry is about 8.99 a pound in the groceries stores. Our friends and family always love our cherries. Because they are grown organically and with no sprays, they do not store up well in the refrigerator. So, you must pick what you can devour in a day or two.
We will post pictures of our other organic grown berries from around our home. We have blueberries, raspberries, logan berries, gooseberries and strawberries. Later in the summer we will have grapes, both green and purple.
Oh, I love cherries. I am so jealous! What a wonderful addition to your backyard. Is it common in Oregon to have cherry trees in your back yard? Please let us know of any recipes you plan on using with these gorgeous fruits.
