Fresh organic sweet red cherries, a variety grown for eating raw rather than baking, with firm, juicy flesh and deep red skin. Sweet cherries and tart cherries come from two different species entirely, not just different varieties of the same fruit, which is why sweet cherries are eaten fresh while tart cherries are almost always cooked or dried. Cherries ripen fully on the tree and don't continue to sweeten after picking, so their flavor at harvest is their final flavor. They're best enjoyed straight from the container, pitted and halved into salads, or blended into smoothies. Cherries also hold up well roasted briefly with a little sugar to spoon over yogurt or ice cream, or pitted and simmered into a quick compote. Pairs well with almond, dark chocolate, vanilla, and goat cheese.

At Farm to People, we source the majority of our products locally, with some exceptions for items that don’t thrive in the Northeast climate — like pears grown in the mild valleys of Washington. Supporting local farmers is always our priority, but we occasionally include select non-local items to bring more variety to your box.
Whether from nearby or a bit farther afield, every product meets our high standards. We work closely with small farms year-round to ensure consistently fresh, high-quality produce in every delivery.
