Welcome to Benjamin Twiggs.. your local purveyor of fine cherry products

Dear Friends,
It’s been no secret that the weather over the past few months resulted in damage to our tart cherry crops. In a nutshell, unseasonably warm weather prompted buds to bloom early in March. A big, heavy snowstorm  and multiple freezes followed over the next few months, killing buds and in some cases entire trees and orchards.

Every cherry purveyor in Michigan will be affected by the impending shortage of local cherries.  We are all eager to share as much of our coveted fruit with you all as possible, and the challenges ahead will undoubtedly produce some creative solutions!

Which leads to simple economics. Supply is down, demand is up, so prices go up. It pains us to have to do this, but we are forced to adjust our prices.

Fortunately, so far we have only had to change the dried cherries, both sweetened and unsweetened.

As always, we appreciate you, who keep our local economy strong, and we feel for the cherry farmers who will certainly have a difficult year ahead. Thanks for your support and understanding.

Now is the best time to be our Facebook friend.  We have giveaways! Click here to like us!
