Sweet Cherry Picking
SWEET CHERRY PICKING (estimated) BEGINS WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2020. (Please call ahead or email us, we MAY open as early as Memorial Day, or soon after May 27)
56 varieties, three generations, and 112 years. Levering Orchard is an amazing cherry-picking experience! And this year we have a bumper crop, the largest in ten years!
SAFETY FIRST! In 2020, we are following CDC guidelines for safety. Also, if possible, bring your own sanitizer. If you don’t have any, we have hand-washing stations available. Masks are encouraged. Please keep children and pets near at hand. Also, while in the orchard and when purchasing fruit, we will be following guidelines for social distancing. THINK SAFETY!
Remember, conditions change every day on a cherry orchard, so it’s always a good idea to call or email us before you come. And, though we do have a truly bumper crop this year, sometimes, for already picked cherries, there can be a short wait as fresh cherries come in from the trees.
