We will open for you-pick and cherry order pick-ups starting this Saturday, 7/8/23, through Sunday, 7/9/23, from 9 AM to 5 PM. After this weekend the schedule should be as follows: Monday, 7/10/23, through Thursday, 7/13/23, we will be open for order pick-ups only. From Friday, 7/14/23 through Sunday, 7/16/23, we will reopen for both you-pick and order pick-ups. If I have to revise this schedule I’ll post an update here.
For starters this weekend, the ripe varieties available will be Bings, Rainiers, Vans, one tree of Tietons, and Montmorency sour/pie cherries. The Lamberts, Lapins, and Sweethearts are not quite ripe yet but should be by the weekend of 7/15. Prices will be $2.00/LB for you-pick and $2.50/LB for picked fruit orders. If you want to place an order for picked cherries, please call 509.493.4034, or better yet, message me via the Schmerber Farm Facebook page. Please place your order at least 24 hours before you plan to pick it up, and we’ll set up a pick-up date and time when I get back to you about your order.
As with previous you-pick seasons I can’t allow the use of ladders or step stools for you-picking due to insurance restrictions, so please don’t bring them from home. Note that due to the Tunnel 5 fire in Underwood, a section of WA Hwy 14 is currently closed west of the Hood River Bridge, so plan accordingly if you’re coming from the west. Also, if you’re travelling from some distance and we haven’t already talked, it’s a good idea to call or message me the day before to confirm we will be open as things can change unexpectedly and on short notice. If there is an emergency closure, I’ll post about it here.
Hope to see you on site! – Amy
