When we are open we are here every day from 8am to 1pm during this extreme heat. We recommend coming early in the day for best quality cherries and picking experience. Children are encouraged but no pets please

We have everything you need-buckets,stools and ladders. We will pack your fruit in bags and, for larger quantities we have boxes available for purchase. There is a portable toilet on site

but please remember to bring water to drink and sunscreen! Our beautiful old orchard was originally planted in 1948 and many of those original trees are still producing lovely fruit! Yes we have a few yellow cherry trees ( Rainiers) but they will be picked for sale, sorry no u-pick on that variety. They are generally ready at the beginning of our season. We have Vans, Rainiers, Bings, Lamberts, Lapins and Skeenas...generally ripening in that order. Looking forward to seeing all our returning and new customers this year! Please keep watching the posts for updated information

See you in the orchard!

Well cherry fans, that is it for another year! We are picked clean. Huge thankyou to Valerie and Hector..awesome job! Thankyou to all the returning and new customers who waited in the heat to come and pick our beautiful cherries, I just wish there had been more of them and I am sorry for those of you who missed out on coming to visit. Let's hope Mother Nature co-operates and gives us a milder winter this year and we have more of those sweet treasures to pick next season.. but we were certainly grateful to have as many cherries as we had.. our gorgeous old trees did better than many other younger orchards! Looking forward to seeing you all again in July 2025

It's official...one more day!!! Tuesday 8am start..don't know if we'll make it to 1pm but we'll be starting off with fresh unpicked trees so it will be as good as it gets, the later you come, less will be available so plan to come early. Skeena and Lambert, both red cherries..NO Rainiers. U-Pick is $ 4.50/lb. When it's gone that is it until next July, lets hope for better, more temperate weather for our 2025 crop!

07/21/2024

Well everyone, another wild and crazy day at the orchard!! That cleans out most of the Lapins! Monday morning we start at 8am with those crunchy Skeenas, some Lapins and juicy sweet Lamberts. We expect that we only have 2 days left so come early to avoid disappointment ( and heat and long lineups!) Remember that we close right at 1pm so that your cherries are not mushy from the heat so another reason to come early! The area still to pick is a little sunnier so please remember lots of water, sunscreen and possibly hats! Still no admission charge, U-Pick is $4.50/lb and sorry no Rainiers

07/20/2024

Hey cherry fans, we are back and picking every day from 8am to 1pm. We are now picking lovely big Lapins and sweet,juicy Lamberts. Sorry we are sold out of Rainiers. Lots of lovely fruit left. We will be picking every day until they are gone; likely around Friday next week (July 26th)
But it all depends on how busy we stay, I will update again after the weekend. I expect to start crunchy Skeenas on Monday! Still no admission fees and all U-Pick is still $4.50/lb Don't forget your water and sunscreen! See you in our beautiful shady orchard!

07/14/2024

Well,that was a quick finish to the vans and bings!! I certainly had hoped there were more cherries than that!! Those two varieties are now sold out and we are closed for a couple of days until the Lapins are ready...there are a lot more Lapin trees so we will hopefully be picking them for 5 or 6 days. Hopefully we will be picking the Lamberts at the same time.They will both continue to be $4.50/lb.We will reopen Thursday at 8am and as long as it continues hot we will be closing at 1 pm so the cherries don't get mushy from the heat. Thursday we will also have some more Rainiers..as always, they are prepicked only ( no u-pick). They will be $12 box , limited quantities ,first come first served. Thankyou all who came today for your patience with lineups and limited fruit due to our cold winter weather...we are just happy that we have as many lovely cherries as we have!!! Looking forward to seeing people on Thursday..as always we recommend coming early, bringing lots of water and sunscreen

Hi cherry fans, sorry we have closed early, we have sold out all our van cherries.We will be closed for a couple of days to let the lapins ripen up. Probably reopening Wednesday or Thursday, please check back for updated posts

07/12/2024

Yes cherry fans we are now open from 8am to 1 pm; no admission charges just pay for what you pick. Upick is the same as last year...$4.50/lb.
We are starting with vans and bings..both dark sweet cherries with rainiers coming soon. With this heat we will only be open from 8am to 1pm so come early to beat the heat and the crowds! Please remember your sunscreen and water and the fact that we are cash only!

Just a couple of photos to get you excited about cherries,  they're starting to change colour..let's all hope for sun!!

Hey cherry fans, we're getting closer! Yes there will be upick this year, just don't expect the trees to be as full as normal. But they are looking good and sizing up... still don't expect them to be sweet, ripe and ready till sometime between July 10th and 15th for start date. Please keep checking back for more posts and we look forward to seeing you all in our beautiful old orchard!

05/27/2024

Well we're getting close to the end of May now, getting a better idea of how the trees survived that record cold last winter ter. We have more cherries than most other orchards..guess our beautiful old trees know what they are doing!! Crop volumes will be lower than last year for sure but hopefully the cherries will be big!
Still too early to set dates but expect our start date to be around that July 10 to 14th time frame. And we should still be finishing around the end of July. But that can change with warmer weather in June so keep checking back here. Looking forward to seeing you all in the orchard!

Hello all you cherry fans!!
Well the blossoms are dropping and we're getting a look at our trees now. Looks like despite the intense cold snap, we will have at least some cherries! Too early to set dates, July but can't get closer than that for awhile. Best guess is don't book holidays that include picking cherries until after the first week of July but that can change depending on the weather from now till then! Keep checking back and I will update when I know more

Our Story

Hi cherry fans-welcome to the best u-pick cherries around!

Our orchard was originally planted in 1948 and some of those beautiful big old trees are still here producing delicious cherries. Tucked away in the mission area of Kelowna, our gorgeous lakeview orchard features 6 different varieties of sweet cherries, from the always popular Vans and Bings to juicy Lamberts, big Lapins, crunchy Skeenas and firm sweet yellow Rainiers.

Our season normally starts early July and lasts about 3 weeks from opening. At this point we are guessing we will start around July 10th to the 15th but weather can change that date so please check this site for updates. Once we are open we are here every day from 8am to 2pm unless it's raining. We recommend coming early in the day while it is the coolest for best quality cherries and picking experience. Children are encouraged but no pets please We have everything you need-buckets,stools and ladders. We will pack your fruit in bags and, for larger quantities we have boxes available for purchase. As we have such a short season, we are a cash only business so please plan ahead. Please remember to bring water to drink and sunscreen!

This year will be a little different due to Covid 19. In line with health regulations regarding groups, we will have to limit the number of people in the orchard to allow for social distancing and safety for staff and customers. Groups must be no larger than 6 people. Only customers planning to pick will be allowed in and we are requesting that customers “pick and go” to allow for more people to get the chance to enter. As per Provincial guidelines, no more than 50 people(including staff) are allowed in at a time. Please do not come if you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms, coughing or sneezing. We recommend that everyone wears a non-medical face mask and bring hand-sanitizer if possible. We will be sanitizing picking equipment and buckets between customers. We ask that customers respect each other and follow our rules so that it is an enjoyable and safe experience for everyone. Please check back after June 28th and we should be able to give a more accurate start date. Looking forward to seeing all our returning and new customers in 2020! See you in the orchard!
