Sweet Cherries: Our sweet cherry crop is about done for the season, there are just a few left and due to last week’s weather (rain/heat) they are very difficult to pick. We have reduced the price to $1.00 pound for U-Pick.
Strawberries: Our strawberries are done for the season. Thanks to all of you who came out to pick and buy them on the market for the past 3 weeks. Thank you also for your patience and understanding this year, we know we were not able to satisfy all of the customers who wanted them and please accept our apology. We just did not have very many strawberries this year, due to a smaller field coupled with the cool weather at the beginning of the season. Let’s all hope for a better strawberry season next year.
Summer Vegetables: We are just beginning to bring in a few summer vegetables each day: green beans, cabbage, green onions, lettuce, zucchini and yellow summer squash. Call first to see what we have before you drive over as it varies each day. 269-244-5690.
Sweet Cherries:
After the last two days of sweltering heat which followed all of the rain, our sweet cherries have started to split and spoil on the tree. Due to this, we have reduced the U-Pick price to $1.00/pound. (They were $1.50 pound). You are still welcome to come out and try to pick them, but what is left for the most part are in the tops of the trees and more difficult to pick due to the spoilage. We are all very sorry about how this turned out as we had one of the largest crops ever and really wanted to have our customers enjoy them.
Sour Cherries:
The Sour cherry crop is still looking good and are ripening fast with the heat. It looks like ideal picking will be the week of June 29th. Call to get an update on picking conditions–269-244-5690.
Strawberries:
Our strawberries are just about finished for the season, we will remain open for U-Pick through the 25th, but after that, call us to see if we are still picking. We will try to have some picked berries on the market through this week.
Our Sweet Cherries are ready, so please come on over and pick some or buy them already picked. See more info below. Sour (tart) cherries are still a week away. The picture below are Queen Anne cherries, yellow with a blush pink cheek. We also have dark red sweet cherries and red sweet cherries.
It looks like we will have Srawberries through this week. With a few hot days, we finally have had some good picking and have even been able to stay open for several hours a day! Again, always call the market for the latest picking info.

Sweet Cherries: We opened our U-Pick today for Sweet cherries, however, there are only about 2 trees that are ripe enough to pick out of about 30 trees (All of them loaded!!) So if you live close and only want to pick a few to eat, come over and try it, otherwise, we would encourage you to wait until the middle of next week (like 24th or after) when more trees will be ready and they will be riper. For Pricing information call the market (269-244-5690) or you can get it from our website, http://www.coreylakeorchards.com/
Strawberries: The cold weather is continuing to affect our U-Pick strawberries, we continue to have more customers everyday than we have berries and regretfully have to turn many customers away. Once our 20 rows have been assigned and picked, we have to close for the day and we have not been open longer than 30 minutes any day so far this year. We promise to get a bigger field for next year! There are still many green berries waiting for some sunshine to ripen, so we will probably have them all of next week. Again, always call the market for the latest picking information and to make sure we are opening the field the day you want to pick. 269-244-5690.
