Four-year-old Kamloops cherry orchard not producing after cold snap
The fourth season at a giant cherry farm near Kamloops is looking a lot different than usual this year.
Thompson Farm in Pritchard grows cherry trees on 275 acres of land, but due to a cold snap in January that destroyed fruit crops in the Thompson-Okanagan region, the trees are barely producing fruit.
“The tree health is really good, but unfortunately we don’t have the crops we’d like to have,” said farm manager Theunis Bester.
