Duarte Orchards produce and package world-class premium cherries under the SO FRESH label.  We have approximately 20 acres in the production of large, late maturing cherry cultivars.  The varieties we grow include Satins, Lapins, Skeenas, Sweethearts, Kootenays and Staccatos.  They have all been developed by the Canadian research program at PARC in Summerland, B.C. and are well known for their exceptional qualities.  Harvest normally runs from the first week of July through the first week of August, although this varies depending on the weather and how the fruit ripens.  Our cherries are all hand packed in our state of the art facility located right on our farm.  We provide a custom packing service to other growers as well.

Due to the competitive situation in the fruit growing industry, our objective is to be the first-choice supplier of customers demanding premium cherries throughout our growing season.  We firmly believe that providing consistent premium fruit will attract a new following of devoted cherry lovers and repeat business.  This not only benefits the stakeholders of Duarte Orchards but also our customers, our employees and the final consumer.
