My sister Amy and I recently had a glorious morning picking sour pie cherries at Cherry Tyme Orchard in Leona Valley. On the way home, and less then half a mile away from Cherry Tyme, we stopped at Rhodes Orchard to see if they had any sweet cherries left to pick. Friends, words cannot describe the glory that is picking a warm, sweet Bing cherry and plucking it into your mouth. Heaven!! After only 20 minutes of picking we had over 20 pounds of the most beautiful Bing cherries I ever laid my eyes on.
Rhodes Orchard is delightful. Family run, they offered us a bag for cherries marked “free” so that we could pick cherries for the needy or anyone we knew that could benefit from free fruit. When the season begins, Rhodes has daily grills set up for BBQ and picnic tables in case you want to bring your own lunch. Highly recommended.
And what’s better with all those cherries (at only $3 a pound!) we’re making Cherry Bounce for Holiday Gifts. And you can too! Follow along to make your own cherry bounce just in time for holiday gifts or your New Year’s Eve Celebration.

The following photos are what happens when your little sister is a photographer and she dares you to get in the wagon. Dares from little sisters cannot go unanswered!!
What a fun day & what an awesome place. I’m so jealous!
