Hand-Picked California Cherries
Grown in California’s Delta region
5 River Islands™ cherries are named for the five rivers flowing through one of the most unique cherry-growing regions in the country: the California Delta.
These cherries come straight from a landscape shaped by waterways, rich soils, and a balanced climate of warm days and cool nights. This unique environment helps produce exceptionally large, deep red cherries with a crisp bite and layered sweet-tart flavor. Featuring the beloved Lapin variety, every cherry is hand-picked at peak ripeness to capture the best of summer in every bite.
What To Look For
5 River Islands™ are packed in specially branded packaging, including bags or clamshell containers. Store them unwashed in the refrigerator and wash just prior to enjoying. You’ll love to snack on 5 River Islands™ cherries as every bite will be fresh and bring the flavor of summer.
When Are 5 River Islands™ Cherries In Season?
The season for 5 River Islands™ cherries is very limited, beginning in late May and ending by mid-June. This is because the fruit’s are exclusively from the Delta growing region which wraps up California’s cherry harvest.

Networks of small waterways connect roughly 57 islands to create a temperate microclimate that late season California cherries thrive in.
