What is Payson Fruit Growers?
As a co-op of eight family farms, Payson Fruit Growers originally grew Montmorency cherries, a varietal that originated in Europe and found popularity in the America as “pie cherries,” a cherry renowned for its tartness and color. A staple of middle American cuisine, the market started to shift for cherry growers in the 1980s.
What are the nutrients in cherry orchards?
They’re delicious, but also contain nutrients – like melatonin and antioxidants (quercetin and anthocyanins) – linked to better sleep, muscle and joint pain relief, and heart health. Our orchards sit at an optimal location for cherry growing.
Where are Monties Tart cherries grown?
Monties Tart Cherries are grown in orchards nestled at the foot of the Wasatch Mountains, fed by the winter snow run-off and valley wells, and cared for by the same families that founded Payson Fruit Growers in 1964.
