Michigan is No. 1 in the United States for its tart cherry production, but Utah is second, hosting around 17 commercial producers near Payson with many of those growers involved in a co-op that allows them to consolidate costs on processing.
Utah’s tart cherry growers are a tight community who help each other out to harvest the best and healthiest product they can. That cooperation has landed Utah as one of the nation’s top producers of the tiny, delicious fruit.
