The initial crop estimate for Northwest cherries will be delayed at least a week, due to the unusually cool weather experienced mid-April, according to Northwest Cherries of Yakima, WA.

Recent severe weather in the Northwest has raised concerns over the 2022 cherry crop; however, growers remain optimistic.

CMI Orchards LLC has announced that the company is teaming up with Stemilt Growers to grow and market the bi-colored Skylar Rae® brand cherries. Bob Mast, President of CMI Orchards, says the company is thrilled to add Skylar Rae® to its manifest and sees huge potential for continued growth.

CMI Orchards will join Stemilt Growers as the exclusive marketers of Skylar Rae brand cherries when they become available in mid-June.
