There’s no doubt that cherries are the sweetest part of every summer at Stemilt. The hustle and bustle that comes with harvesting and packing cherries day in and day out is not only exciting, but also contagious! As we look towards cherry season in the fun world of marketing, we wanted to create something exciting – and special –  for all of the cherry fanatics out there that would also celebrate nutritious and delicious Stemilt cherries. Without further ado, I’m excited to reveal our first-ever sweepstakes for Stemilt cherries to you, and share with you the many cherry goodies that could come your way this summer!

Our #CherrySweet Summer Sweepstakes packages new and healthy cherry recipes,  and sweet prizes together. By signing up for the sweeps, you’ll automatically get a weekly email from me for six consecutive weeks that features a new cherry recipe created by one of our two food blogger friends, Carolyn from All Day I Dream About Food, and Connie from MiscFinds4U. Entering the sweeps also puts you into the running to win 1 of 7 sweet prizes! Our grand prize is one of our retro wooden cherry boxes sent fresh from our farms to your doorstep and a $100 VISA gift card (so you can buy lots of cherries for your friends)! You can sign up with us weekly to increase your odds of winning!

Partnering with Carolyn and Connie was definitely the cherry on top of this sweepstakes! They both love cherries and are very in tune with cherry nutrition, as well as the many health benefits that cherries provide.

Carolyn specializes in creating low carb, gluten free, and diabetic recipes – all recipe themes that sweet cherries naturally fit into. We’re excited to feature four of her latest healthy recipes that were inspired by our cherries through this sweepstakes. Carolyn is also hosting Stemilt’s first #CherrySweet Twitter party of the summer. It will be held next Tuesday, June 24th at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST. If you have a Twitter handle and an appetite for cherries, RSVP for the party here. We’ll be chatting about cherries and giving away prizes too.

Connie is a lifestyle blogger and perhaps the biggest cherry fanatic we’ve ever met. She’s putting her DIY background to use with our cherries and will take you step-by-step through two of her favorite natural ways to enjoy cherries. Connie is hosting our second #CherrySweet Twitter party on July 30th at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST. Save the date!

I can’t wait to share each of these healthy cherry recipes with you. From festive holidays like the Fourth of July to BBQs, beach trips, and more, there are so many occasions throughout the summer that are ripe for fitting sweet Stemilt cherries into. Enter our #CherrySweet Summer Sweepstakes now to start enjoying our nutritious cherries in new ways!
