Why Global Fruit

Built on BC's natural advantages

BC Terroir

Cool nights, warm dry days, and crystal-clear water in the Okanagan create the ideal natural environment for sweet, firm cherries.

Summerland Varieties

Most of our cherries come from the world-famous breeding program at Summerland in the Okanagan Valley.

Hands-On Growers

Our growers live where they work, from seedling to harvest. The quality of every cherry is a matter of pride.

Global Reach

We serve markets worldwide, communicating in ten languages from English and Arabic to Chinese, French, and Spanish.

Stars of the Show

Cherries worth waiting for

BC growers push the season late to deliver the last cherries in the northern hemisphere. Here are three of our standouts.

Early Season

Santina

One of the first cherries to start the BC season, normally mid-to-late June. Firm with highly attractive deep red skin.

Blush

Rainier

The most famous blush cherry in the world, named after Mount Rainier. Renowned for contrasting yellow and red skin and delicious flavor.

Late Season

Kordia (Attika)

Originating from the Czech Republic in the 1990s, considered by many to have a perfect cherry flavor.

Plus Cristalina, Suite Note, and new varieties from Summerland we continue to test. We also supply apples and Southern Hemisphere cherries to extend the season.

Our Story

Cherry Paradise

There is something magical about British Columbia. With snow-capped mountains, deep blue lakes, and stunning rivers, we are privileged to call this place home.

Fresh clean air, crystal-clear water, warm dry summer days and cool nights — everything comes together to provide an ideal natural environment for the large, firm, sweet, juicy cherries we are famous for.

Winemakers talk about terroir: the combination of climate, soil, and terrain. When it comes to growing the perfect cherries, we think this corner of BC provides all that and more. That's why we call it Cherry Paradise.

There's passion behind every cherry. Our growers live where they work and take a hands-on approach from seedling to harvest.
