THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE CHERRY SEASON OCCURS IN THE FIRST FULL WEEKEND OF DECEMBER, AT THE NATIONAL CHERRY FESTIVAL IN YOUNG.
PICK-YOUR-OWN CHERRIES & STONEFRUIT Come to the Hilltops Region for a Pick-Your-Own Cherry experience or simply to purchase some delicious fruit.
The Hilltops Region’s climate and rich soils provide all the essentials required for the growing and ripening of stonefruits. While cherries are the main fruit produced in the region, we grow plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, figs, strawberries and olives.

Our trees produce ripening fruit throughout summer. The cherry is the last tree to bloom, which typically happens in late September, and yet the first tree to fruit. From November, through to Christmas (weather dependent), cherries are available. The highlight of the cherry season occurs in the first full weekend of December, at the National Cherry Festival in Young.
