Hello and welcome to Cherrybomb Cherry Farm
Cherries....yyyuuummmm...
"Life is like a bowl of cherries" coined…. someone. We don’t know who but you can’t help but be cheered by the sight, texture and taste of a ripe, red, freshly plucked cherry popped straight into your mouth; then another and another and another…. and…. yyyuuummmm.
We have to admit that you just can’t eat too many cherries - and we grow them!
You don't get sick of cherries because, blink, and the season's over. That's right, here in the beautiful Yarra Valley the Cherry Season only lasts 6-8 weeks so, unlike everyday fruits like apples, oranges and bananas, cherries are not freely available all year round!
We have been growing cherries for over 15 years at Cherrybomb, including some varieties that are no longer readily available - varieties where flavour isn’t traded for size. Remember Black Boys, Lamberts and Lewis? These heirloom varieties taste like, well, like cherries used to taste! The ones Grandma and Grandpa reminisce about when they were kids. We also grow some newer varieties; Lapins, Simone and Stella. In fact we grow over 20 varieties of cherries at Cherrybomb Cherry Farm.
What's more, if you like strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, our next door neighbours, Jay Berries, grow delicious summer berries and have them available for u-pick or purchase (closed every Saturday).
So that's cherries right next door to strawberries, raspberries and blueberries; now that's convenient!
