A severe freeze in April 2026 changed everything for Rowand's Cherry Farm. In just one night, we lost our entire cherry crop—a whole season’s work and hope for the year, gone in an instant. Farming is always unpredictable, but nothing could have prepared us for the heartbreak of seeing every cherry lost to the cold.

This loss means we’re facing a year without the income we rely on to keep the farm running. The funds raised here will help us cover our fixed expenses—taxes, insurance, fertilizer, mowing and weeding the cherry trees, trimming, and irrigation. Every dollar will go toward keeping the orchard healthy and cared for, so we can come back strong next season and welcome everyone back for cherry picking.

If you have ever visited our farm, picked our cherries, or supported local farming, we’re asking for your help to get through this season. With your support, we’ll keep the trees healthy and be ready to open our orchard again next year. Thank you so much for standing with us, supporting agriculture, and helping small family farms like ours survive tough times. - Rowand's Cherry Farm
