Sweet Michigan "Ulster" Cherries

Michigan’s unique climate and growing conditions produce the most delicious cherries in the world. These fresh cherries are superior to “commodity” supermarket cherries because they are tree-ripened, not harvested while underripe (underripe cherries store and ship more easily, but are not as sweet or flavorful), and because of northwest Michigan’s exceptional growing climate and conditions! This 3 lb. box contains sweet dark Ulster cherries, well-known for their deep color, sweetness, and rich cherry flavor. With thinner skin and juicier pulp, these juicy cherries are a delight!

Michigan’s unique climate and growing conditions produce the most delicious cherries in the world, and the Wunsch Family Farms in Traverse City, Michigan, has six generations of experience cultivating sweet Ulster and sour Balaton Michigan cherries. The farm, on Northern Michigan’s Old Mission Peninsula, is run by brother and sister Isaiah and Adele Wunsch, in the “cherry capital of the world.” Unique growing conditions from northern Lake Michigan provide cool air currents, a microclimate with cool springs, dry summers and long, warm falls to produce tree-ripened cherries, which get packed just hours after being picked, so they’re perfectly ripe, firm, dark, and flavorful.
