The cherry picking season may start a little later this summer in Door County but the wait may be worth it.  According to Steve Wood from Wood Orchards in Egg Harbor, the cool and wet spring weather earlier may have slowed the ripening of the tart and sweet cherries on the trees. 

Wood says he expects southern Door County orchards to begin picking operations within the next two weeks.   He says his orchard has fortunately avoided any wind or hail damage to this point of the season.
