Welcome to What's In Store. Stemilt has launched into its Half Mile Closer to the Moon cherry program. The cherries are grown 2,800 to 3,200 feet above sea level – literally a half mile closer to the moon. Fourth generation grower Kyle Mathison farms these premium high-elevation cherries, primarily Skeena, Sweetheart, and Staccato®, at his Amigos ranch overlooking the Columbia River and town of Wenatchee, Washington. The high elevation location stays cooler during the heat of the summer which combined with a fertile, volcanic-rich soil, results in large, firm, dessert quality cherries.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> Moon cherries are available for a brief time in resalable, random-weight pouch bags with a PLU code in replace of a barcode for a more efficient ring at the register. With vibrant, high graphic packaging, the items should be placed in a high-traffic area as eye-catching displays that will encourage impulse purchases. Stemilt provides retail partners with signage centered on the grower and locale to share with shoppers the truly unique eating experience that these premium cherries offer. These late Moon cherry varieties are also part of the Kyle's Pick premium cherry program which presents only the best varieties and largest fruit with complex dessert flavors for each Kyle's Pick bag. Give your customers a fantastic taste of World Famous Cherries with Stemilt’s Half Mile Closer to the Moon program.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding">
