Fifteen people are employed in the company on annual basis. In campaign period their number grows to 400 people on 3 shifts. A good quality cherry begins with a rigorous pruning of the trees through fall and winter. Excessively strong branches are removed, as are branches that are too weak. In this process the tree is opened up to sunlight and the number of remaining fruit buds is brought into balance with the root system’s ability to size and sweeten the fruit.

A well-conceived harvest and packing process is critical to maintain the high quality we have worked all season to produce. The company has its own sorting and cooling facility, built at the site.
