Cherry Harvest Begins In Door County
Manage episode 427001743 series 2908402
Welcome back as we feature specialty crops across Wisconsin and the farm families who grow them. Today, the cherry harvest takes us to Door County where we visit with Jim Seaquist of Seaquist Orchards. They care for 170,000 trees across 1,300 acres around Sister Bay. They harvest up to 15 million pounds of cherries each year. Jim says agricultural tourism has allowed his family to continue the farm business. Since the early 1900s, his family has expanded not only in the number of trees but also the number of offerings. Today, you can find their products year-round: pie fillings, jams and jellies, and syrups and sauces, to name a few. Despite early weather challenges, Seaquist says they are expecting a bumper crop. He is hoping for dry weather throughout the harvest. This podcast series is brought to you courtesy of Specialty Crop Block Grant 23-10.
