Traverse City Michigan is ripe with Cherries this week! Queen Annes, Dark Sweet, Tart, and many others. Many farms have U-Pick! Enjoy the beautiful water, Cherry Festival and sunshine!

Cherries are on in SW lower Michigan.
Eau Claire is the best place on earth for cherries!

They'll be ready to pick in a few weeks. A calendar would be cool ... the season varies a lot across the state though. Here's a web site with some rough dates. And Susan, if you're in NW Michigan, try Taste the Local Difference for a list of U-Pick farms.

When are the Bing Cherries ready to pick ?

Your website should have a season calendar for all the fruits available in Michigan.

I don't exactly know Max, but it seems to me that a lug is about 3' x 1' and 1' deep. It might be the same volume as a bushel. It is what they use to gather cherries, so I guess it's because that's what farmers had available! I have a photo of some wooden ones and here's a lug of Ranier cherries from Washington If I find out more I will post it here.

How big is a Lug, and why do they use it to sell Cherries by? How many lug's are there to a bushel? Thank You

I'm wondering if you know of anyone who sells canned bing cherries. We have used the fresh cherries in the past for a signature cocktail here at the Chambers Hotel in Minneapolis. Of course, now that they are out of season, we are looking for other options. This particular signature cocktail is soon to be featured in GQ Magazine. Do you have any ideas? Thank you for your time.
