It’s cherry season! A bowl of fresh cherries is one of the best ways to savor summer. At Whole Foods Market, we seek out the highest quality, sweetest cherries, and we pride ourselves on offering some of the largest fruit on the market, which means you get more fruit and less stone in each individual cherry. We visit the orchards regularly, measuring the cherries’ sugar content and selecting the plumpest fruits. And we figured that it would be cool to award a trip to cherry country to help celebrate this summertime favorite.Whole Foods Market is partnering with Intrepid Travel opens in a new tab® to offer a chance to win a trip for two to the Pacific Northwest.
