Well-established and active since 1950, the family-owned and -operated business provides an excellent cash flow and beautiful views, serving the community and nearby states for 70 years. The fruit farm is touted as producing the world’s best sweet cherries, thanks to the mountain climate that that is dry and warm during the day and cool at night—ideal for producing perfectly-ripened fruit. Inventory is staged to provide up-and-coming producers. This is a great opportunity to own a legacy orchard with onsite packing and production facilities. Five houses on the grounds include three workers’ cabins situated near the onsite packing plant.
