Visiting a Cherry Orchard in Upstate New York

Last week, the employees at our Geneva facility took a trip to see how the tart cherries are harvested, just in time for an outstanding yield of top quality fruit from the orchards. 


The cherries were bright red and ripe for the picking—er, shaking. Did you know that they shake the trees to get the cherries off?


Cherries, cherries, cherries!

Following the tour, the team had a nice outdoor lunch at a nearby deli located on the shores of Lake Ontario.
