In the US, Orchard View Cherries has said it is gearing up for a ”promising” 2026 season, with harvest anticipated in the second week of June following a ”favourable growing cycle”.

The Oregon-based company said it expects to pack approximately 1.2mn boxes of premium cherries this season.

The group is also set to receive the Global Trailblazer Award from the Oregon Consular Corps in mid-May, honouring Oregon-based companies that demonstrate exceptional contributions to international trade, the regional economy and overall quality of life.

Orchard View has cultivated strong export partnerships across numerous Asian markets over the years, described as ”an essential component” of its business.

However, the company said it is ”particularly enthusiastic” about the upcoming domestic season.

“With beautiful cherries on the trees and positive growing conditions behind us, we’re incredibly excited about the season ahead,” said Brenda Thomas, president of Orchard View Cherries.

“Our team is always committed to delivering an amazing cherry experience from orchard to table, and this year is no exception.”

The season will begin with Chelans, Pearls and Santinas, followed by the Bing variety, the group confirmed.

It explained that recent updates to its Unitec sorting technology will further enhance consistency, quality and uniformity across all packs.

“Orchard View continues to set the standard for premium cherries,” said Piers Hanbury, executive director of cherries and category development at Oppy.

“We’re confident this will be another excellent crop, delivering the high-quality eating experience customers expect.”

The 2026 Orchard View Cherries season is expected to conclude by the end of July.
