More than U-Pick

HH Cherries is more than a U-pick destination for cherries and flowers. We participate in the local Northport farmer’s market all summer long, engage with our volunteers for those wanting to spend time in the dirt for some fun and learning, host a Wednesday night speaker series around a campfire, and coordinate special events for small private events. We strive to make the land available for those wanting to support and learn about agriculture.

Joins us at the Farmers Market

The Northport Farmer’s Market is every Friday from 9am-1pm at the Northport Marina. It is a gorgeous setting on the bay with one of the largest number of vendors in the county. It is worth the drive!

Volunteer at the Farm

Our volunteers are called Hallstedt Home Heroes because that is what they are to us…. Heroes! No agricultural experience is necessary. In exchange for some free labor, we have several perks throughout the entire year from making maple syrup, picking wild ramps, some potlucks and of course cherries and flowers. Email us to sign up!

Join us After Hours

“Cherries & Flowers After Hours” is a speaker series where guests hear from local speakers about their passion for various topics. It’s our version of a TED Talk, but more fun! Each event will begin with a 15-25 minute talk from our guest speaker and end with a Q&A session. After, we invite attendees to walk the property, roast marshmallows, sit by the campfire, or u-pick cherries and flowers. We ask that you bring your own beverages, snacks, and a blanket or chair, as seating will be limited. Rain or shine, the show will go on! The series will continue every Wednesday at 7 p.m. through August. Each event will have a different speaker sharing a passion they hold, so come every Wednesday for a new experience and source of knowledge!

And finally, we do host some private events throughout the year. If you or your group want a special function, let us know to see how we can accommodate your request.
