U-Pick Cherries and Apricots Coming Soon!

All good things come to those who wait…

Every year, when the time is right, the Williamson family opens their cherry and apricot orchards to the public and allows folks to come out to pick tree-ripened fruit.

U-Pick Update: May 8th We are seeing a nice balanced crop of cherries this year. We are past fruit-set and the cherries are the size of medium-large marbles. They are sizing up fast this year! We have marked (with a pink circle) where our cherries are in their development in the diagram to the right. This chart depicts the evolving stages of growth that sweet cherries go through. We predict entering the straw-color stage by this time next week. We anticipate cherries being “on time” this year, although that is always susceptible to the whims of mother nature.

U-Pick will be here before you know it!

While, it’s too early to really know how big of a crop of cherries or apricots we will get this year, we will do our best to keep our followers updated on what’s happening in the orchards. 

Until the fruit gets more mature its hard to predict the exact dates of when U-PICK CHERRIES & APRICOTS will start. Mother nature may still have a few more tricks up her sleeve! Historically, our U-Pick orchards typically bear fruit by late June through mid-July. As always, we will happily share more definitive information as we get closer to harvest – so stay tuned!

Williamson Orchards & Vineyards will be offering a new way to get a taste of farm-life…
