Cherry Picking in Utah: What You Need to Know
Looking for cherry picking in Utah? Below is every location mapped across the state, filterable by city or ZIP code so you can find the one closest to you.
Mountain West Cherry Orchards
The mountain west's cherry orchards benefit from the same altitude and climate extremes that make the region exceptional for apples—the intense sunshine and cool nights of high-elevation growing produce cherries with concentrated sweetness and flavor that flat-country orchards can't match. Utah's Wasatch Front orchards, Colorado's Western Slope, Idaho's Treasure Valley, Montana's Flathead Lake region, and Nevada's Sierra Nevada foothills all host cherry growing operations that welcome pick-your-own visitors in late June and July. The scale is smaller than Pacific Northwest cherry production, but the quality is often exceptional, and the settings—against mountain backdrops with clear high-desert sky—make for some of the most beautiful orchard visits available anywhere.
Best Time for Cherry Picking in Utah
Late June through July for the Wasatch Front bench orchards north of Salt Lake City, with the season aligning closely with neighboring states at similar latitude.
