This Week's Featured Product is Cherries Cherries contain anthocyanins, the red pigment in berries that has been shown to reduce pain and inflammation. Cherries have also been shown to contain high levels of melatonin which is important for the function of the immune system and emotional well-being.
They may be used in soups, salads, relishes, and in decadent desserts, although they are often best enjoyed fresh off the stem. More than 500 varieties of sweet cherries exist, and you are likely to find a dozen or so different varieties at the farmers' market. Cherries have a very short season, typically starting mid to late April and ending in June. So get them fresh from the farmer at your local farmers' market while they're here! You can purchase cherries from Seko Ranch / DC's Extraordinary Cherries or another of the local farmers selling cherries. Seko Ranch is a forty acre cherry farm located in the beautiful sprawling hills of Brentwood and is owned and operated by Len and Sharon Del Chiaro. Sharon’s family has been farming the land since the mid 1950s. Once you get your purchases home, check out our delicious recipes using cherries. About the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association
