 Summertime cherries
Sweet, crisp, dark-red and bursting with juice.
Getting riper by the day on the trees. Almost ready to send to you.
This year so far the cherries are on track but are looking like they are coming early.
Early Robins come first. (They may ship Monday!!) Smaller and sweeter, they extend the cherry season by coming in even earlier than the coveted Rainiers.
The Rainiers follow, soon! This delicate yellow-skinned cherry with a bright rosy red blush reveals a yellowish translucent flesh when you take a bite. The pampered Rainier is a cross of the Bing and the Van cherry from the cherry breeding program at WSU in 1952 by Harold Fogle.
These children of Prunus avium (along with the red cherries) are only available, when picked-at-their peak, for a momentary blip every year.
All of the varieties of cherries we carry are hand chosen in the orchard, hand sorted on the line, and then we sort them again twice in our cool room, before we ship them to you. No grab bag here!
Are you ready for the sweet crunch a Washington Grown Cherry? We are!

 Farro is Italian for hulled grain
Emmer is Triticum Dicoccum!
It is easy to make (42 minutes in boiling water), stays firm for the whole dinner service, you can serve hot, warm or cold, and keeps for days! It's the perfect summer grain!
Farro is a grain that's been enjoyed since ancient times. It's high in fiber, protein and nutrients, non-GMO and absolutely delicious - nutty, full-flavored and with an appealingly chewy texture. This one is also organic.
Farro, also known as emmer, was one of the earliest domesticated crops in the Near East, where it was highly valued as a crop that would do well in poor soil. There are even indications of humans consuming emmer as early as 17,000 B.C.- even before the advent of agriculture! It was grown in Egypt and Mesopotamia and eventually migrated, as many grains did, through the Mediterranean region and Europe.
Though farro was appreciated because it grew well in many soils and also for its heartiness - it is very high in protein and nutrients - it was valued just as much by some cultures, the Italians in particular, for its flavor. It's toothsome, wholesome, and full of big, nutty, grain flavor. And it's especially healthy if it's organic and wholegrain, like Lentz Farms!
If you haven't tried it, you should. Success is easy and it's really good and good for you.
