WILLCOX, Ariz. (KGUN) — If your fruit basket is looking a little lonely these days, don't worry—Apple Annie's Orchard has announced the opening of its cherry picking season Monday, May 27.
According to a social media post, the Orchard at 2081 W. Hardy Road in Willcox now has Royal Rainier cherries ripe for the picking. It's the only you-pick cherry orchard in the state, says the website.
