Cherry Season starting early at Robinette's Farm

Cherry Season is here in Grand Rapids at Robinette's Farm , and it's a little earlier than normal due to the warm spring weather.

Michigan has a long history with cherries, and according to the Michigan Department of Agriculture, 74% of the supply of tart cherries in the United States for 2023 was grown here in the Mitten.

In 2022, Michigan produced 180 million pounds of tart cherries— a value of $36.5 million.

Robinette's told us the season typically lasts 1-2 weeks, so if you want to pick your own the sooner the better.
