Cherries at Parlee Farms ~ Our Most Picturesque Crop!

Cherry Orchard at Parlee Farms in Massachusetts One of the most beautiful tree fruits, we have over ten varieties of Sweet and Tart Cherries at Parlee Farms covering two acres. The 1,400 trees are on a full-dwarf root stock, so they are easy for everyone to harvest. We harvested our first cherry pick your crop in 2010 and it was a big success! New England Cherries have a very short season – only about three weeks from late June – mid July. The season can be further reduced by weather conditions, especially rain when the fruit is present. So, we hope you can enjoy this wonderful fruit in the short time it is available!

A few facts about cherries:

  • Cherries are very perishable and do not ripen after picking. So pick fully ripe cherries and refrigerate soon after purchase. These can remain fresh in your refrigerator for at least 2 days.
  • Studies have shown cherries to have plenty of health benefits! They are high in antioxidants, are low in cholesterol, fat, and sodium. They are also a good source of Vitamin C and fiber.
