The first couple weeks of July are when cherries are ripe for picking at many local orchards and farms. So if you need another family-friendly summer activity, here are the best places to go cherry picking!

Spicer Orchards

Spicer Orchards offers plenty of U-Pick chances throughout the year, including red tart and sweet cherries through most of July. As long as Mother Nature cooperates with the orchard’s harvesting schedule, red tart cherries will be available through August 1 and sweet cherries will be available through July 20.
