Cherries galore this year in the Okanagan. Apparently the perfect weather to produce to many cherries that they’re making the trees droop.
Now how to find the best U-Pick? Check the newspaper in the classified, under the food/produce section. They will usually tell you the price for the U-Pick and call just to confirm the price. We found that some people would jack up the price compared to the newspaper! Evil!
We went driving on highway 97 and we stumbled upon the Bellman’s farm. They had $1.50/lb U-Pick raspberries! OMG, they’re so good. And Jen (whom owns the store) was super nice. She even told us about the paper and the cherries. She ended up directing us to her father in-law’s place and we picked at $1.00/lb! Oh yeah!
So go Cherry picking! it’s cheap and it’s good!
