Greetings from North Star Organics Cherries

We are continually enhancing our website. Please check back soon to see our changes and buy cherries online! Meanwhile, feel free to look around.

We are organically grown on a small family farm on a peaceful hillside in picturesque Northern Michigan. We are proudly raised for you by Alan, Cheryl, Emily and Eric Kobernik and family and friends. They meticulously tend our soil, carefully prune our limbs, vigilantly defend us from harm and ultimately harvest us.

Our stewards carefully oversee us being washed, sorted, pitted, packed and dried. We are very proud of our farm family that is committed to responsible and just decision in all aspects of their lives. We find their commitment is the only way for all to thrive. Please enjoy us and thanks for supporting organic farms.

Humbly. . .
North Star Organics’ Tart Cherries

P.S. We taste great too! Taste the organic difference.
