Join us on the farm!
Last year, the NY Times sponsored a day at HH Cherries with u-pick cherry picking and cherries jubilee. With 800+ people attending, it was a great time had by all… and we knew we could do more! More personal. More engaging. More innovation. More food!
Featuring Chef Jimmy Schmidt
On July 20 (Saturday) HH Cherries is hosting a Cherry-Ganza curated lunch by three time James Beard award winning chef Jimmy Schmidt celebrating all things cherries. Chef Schmidt will serve and share several recipes highlighting the power of sweet and tart cherries to truly delight one’s culinary taste buds. Jimmy will be preparing Angus Brisket Sliders, beverages, appetizers, salads, and of course, Jimmy’s unique spin of Cherries Jubilee! Each adult ticket includes 5 lbs of U-pick Cherries and the trees are loaded… Seating is limited so purchase your tickets early HERE at the HH Cherries website.
Learn About Our New Project
We are also excited to unveil a new and original cherry product!. HH Cherries will be the home farm of Red Truck OrchardsTM, a new collective of farms producing an artisan cherry wine vinegar. The purpose of Red Truck OrchardsTM is to support and strengthen small local farms. As part of this project, Phil has been working for six years to develop an innovative product made from Montmorency Tart and sweet cherries. Red Truck Cherry Vinegar has a bright and smooth taste compared to apple cider vinegar, while packing the antioxidants and anthocyanins found naturally in cherries. Chef Schmidt’s beverages, dressings and ice cream toppings (yes, vinegar based topping on ice cream) will highlight this new product and a bottle is included in your admission, with recipes to try at home. Come be a part of our new and exciting product launch!
