Cherry season is shaping up to be one to celebrate, and CMI Orchards is heading into the season with a lineup of programs designed to make summer shine.

While the spring brought cooler temperatures during bloom that trimmed production across parts of the Northwest, CMI remains optimistic about the season ahead. “The Northwest cherry crop is currently projected at 18.4 to 19.2 million boxes, about 20% lighter than last year, but still packed with high-quality fruit, and CMI expects to contribute a strong portion of that volume,” says Joel Hewitt, Vice President of Sales at CMI Orchards, in the recent release.
