Around the Ranch
All of our fruit and nuts are grown for you by us. Because of this very important
aspect of our company culture we have developed this "around the ranch" web page. During harvest you will be able to come back to this page and see just how we get our product into your home within 48 hours of being off the tree.
Below are updates on each of our crops.

Another cherry harvest complete, whew! After fifteen
years farming with my husband and growing-up with my parents farming
cherries, regardless if it is fifteen or fifty, the harvest never gets any
less stressful. All I can say is it is fast and furious. We
personally had a fine year. We were among the few that were able to
pick our entire orchard. For that, we are so thankful and
appreciative to our good Lord above.
We No longer have Fuji Apples
 Unfortunately, due to
the poor market conditions for California Fuji Apples, we removed our
trees in the Fall of 2004. In the Spring of 2005, we planted Royal Rainier Cherries to meet the growing demand of these
scrumptious white cherries.
In farming, you have to keep competitive. We were hopeful to
keep the Fuji's "just one more year", but we had to make a business
decision. Farmers, in general, are one of the most faithful groups
of people around.
 The 2006 crop is
harvested and complete. It was a fine year. We are looking
forward to this coming season in hopes of selling our own walnuts directly
to our customers.
