Welcome to Tree-Mendus Fruit Farm, reporting on what's going on here at the orchard. The Tree-Mendus country store is open Wed-Mon from 10:00-6:00 and closed on Tuesdays. If you plan to come and U-Pick, please arrive early enough to complete your harvesting, the orchard closes at 5:30. Tart Cherry harvesting has been tree-mendus and we will continue to have u-pick and already picked available for the next few weeks. They are taking orders for already picked and pitted tart cherries now if you want them fresh or freshly frozen. Please call during regular business hours to place your order for harvest and pick-up. Tart Cherries are great for making Jam, Jelly, and the all American Cherry Pie. Yum! They have pitting facilities located here on the farm so you can wash, sort, and pit your harvest before you go home. Don't forget to bring a cooler to keep them fresh for the trip home to your kitchen. The Sweet Cherry U-Pick is over for the season but they do plan to have some available in the farm market for about another week or while supplies last. You will also find fresh Apricots, early plums, Nectarines and some Apples available in the store. Picked fresh daily just for you. They have opened our Peach orchard for U-Pick and we now have the earliest variety, Flamin Fury. We will continue to have peaches through August and into early September with more than 20 varieties of peaches available during the season. The Red Havens are expected to begin around the second week of August. For an up to the minute harvesting report please call during regular business hours. The results are in for the 40th International Cherry Pit-Spitting Championship. With an outstanding line of participants the competition was tough for all ages this year. Thank you to all who came to have a day of family fun!! When planning your summer events Tree-Mendus Fruit has accommodations for your family to make your visit more enjoyable. We offer a private "valley" picnic area for large groups, family reunions, or any gathering you may have. The valley comes with a pavilion and picnic tables to accommodate any size group. Call for reservations. For your fall visit you may want to consider renting an apple tree from our family tree orchard. This is a private orchard to "Rent-A-Tree" customers only. Our "Family Rent-A Tree" program allows families to "rent" an apple tree for the season. We take care of it; all you have to do is pick it! Bring the family and enjoy a picnic under your very own tree. Choose from apple varieties like, Mutsu, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Rome, Jonathan, and Holiday.
