Cherry Country, a family-owned and - operated company based on showcasing the dynamic flavors and healthy benefits of cherries, devels into confections
In 1991, Mike and Marsh Shadbolt bought a Royal Ann cherry orchard located in an historic cherry growing region, the Eola Hills west of Salem, Ore. Both began working together to learn everything about the cherry business as well as tending to the scenic 37 acres.
While learning about cherries they realized that by drying them — without adding any preservatives, sulfites, sugars or oils — the cherry’s natural flavors are highlighted. Their “cherry hobby” inspired them and slowly evolved into Cherry Country, a family-owned and -operated company based on showcasing the dynamic flavors and healthy benefits of cherries.
