Skylar Rae cherries return

The Skylar Rae cherries are back in stores, offering a short season for retailers. Known for their unmatched sweetness and crunch, these bi-colored cherries have become increasingly popular each year.

“Skylar Rae cherries are extra special, from their remarkable origin story to their unique flavor and crunch,” said Sarah Barkley, domestic sales at CMI Orchards. “Bursting with super sweet flavor and juice, and delivering a satisfying texture, they’re far superior to any other cherry.”

Discovered in 2004 by the Toftness family, Skylar Rae cherries emerged from a tree found after following a rainbow, a discovery that felt like a gift honoring their late daughter, Skylar Rae. Troy Toftness, co-owner of the Skylar Rae brand, noted that the cherries’ are rising in popularity and increasing volume, grown by selected growers in the U.S., Chile, New Zealand, and Australia, according to a recent CMI Orchards press release.

Skylar Rae cherries are known for their “caramel glow,” a bronzing indicating supreme sweetness. A short video explaining this feature is available for consumers.
