Chelan Fruit gears up for MORE CHERRIES

摘要

The cooperative will pack the Orondo Ruby cherry starting this season. Cherry production in north central Washington State is growing at such a pace that Chelan Fruit Cooperative is planning to build a new cherry line for next season. Reggie Collins,chief executive officer, said cherry production from the cooperative's members has increased by between 5 and 7 percent for each of the last four years and will continue to rise. More cherries are being planted, but much of the increase is coming from orchards planted five to six years ago that are starting to come into production, he said.
