Washington's cherry farmers are expecting a great crop this year which is good news for cherry lovers everywhere since Washington State is the nation's biggest cherry producer.  It is estimated that the crop will be between 150-200,000 tons this year vs. 78,000 tons last year, according to an article in the Seattle Times. 

I picked some up yesterday at my local farmers market and expect to keep getting more for the next month or two.  This year some are going in the freezer for winter treats as well, given that we should get some good prices here soon.
