October is national co-op month which means we here at Cherry Central are taking the time to reflect on our shared principles and try to help educate others of the benefit of our cooperative. The purpose of our legacy family farms gathering together is to sell sustainable fruit products, improve the lives of customers and maximize success for growers.

When you are a farmer, you rely heavily on mother nature to assist with adequate growing conditions for your crop. Unfortunately, mother nature is not known to play favorites.

Due to our cooperative structure, we are fortunate to have growers throughout North America that supply a wide variety of products. Our diversification allows us to promise year over year availability of this fruit associated with good fortune, beauty, and the cycle of life.

So, where do we go from here? Cherry Central plans on expanding our products in all market channels and walks of life for generations to come.
