Cherry Picking in Ararat

On 15th June 2008, we were invited by Sue and Gary to take trip to Levering Orchard in Ararat, Virginia. Levering Orchard is a farm growing cherries, pears, apples, etc. The farm is celebrating its centennial this year. It was found by Ralph and Clara Levering in 1908.

Cherries grow on trees. So, we had to climb up on ladders to at least 8 feet above ground to pick them. In a few hours, we had been in a lot of treetops. It was a fun experience to be able to pick our own fruits. Actually, we ate a lot of cherries while we were up there. We picked and ate the cherries right away so no one could get fresher cherries than that.
