Stoneridge Orchards: Blueberries and Cherries Review + Giveaway

The story of Stoneridge Orchards dates back to the 1960’s in Central Washington and the modern homesteading lottery. In 1962 a gentleman by the name of Karl Dorsing had not only entered this modern homesteading lottery but won 160 acres. This win allowed him to move himself and his family to Royal City Washington and create what today is
known as Royal Ridge Fruits.
In 2010 this 3rd generational family owned and managed company created Stoneridge Orchards. Stoneridge Orchards was created for use as a consumer brand. With the creation of a consumer brand came the addition of a berry mix, dried peaches slices as well as Greek Yogurt covered fruits and Dark Chocolate covered fruits. The fertile high desert region of Central Washington was the perfect environment to grow their all natural organic cherries, blueberries, raspberries, apple and pears.
The products featured in this post were provided to me free of charge courtesy of Stoneridge Orchards. This post may have affiliate links but this in no way will influence the review to follow and all opinions are my own.
I received a couple of bags of fruit from Stoneridge Orchards including;

Blueberries dipped in Greek Style Yogurt: The health benefits of blueberries are well-known and something that we like to have as an easy snack. Normally I am not a fan of yogurt covered items, but these were not to sweet and the blueberry came through.

Montmorency Cherries dipped in Dark Chocolate: Dark chocolate covering cherries were really good. I decided to freeze them and this made them crunchy and cool, which was a nice treat during these hot days. If you are a fan of cherries and dark chocolate I would HIGHLY recommend these.

Montmorency Cherries: These are whole dried tart cherries that are pitted for us (despite this, be careful when eating these, pit parts can still be included). If you love cherries you will love these and they would be great in a bread or baking.

Whole Dried Blueberries: When we ate these blueberries there was a wine flavored after taste, and being that we are not wine drinkers we did not enjoy them. That being said, I imagine you could add them to pancakes, a bread or even add some to a blender for a fruit smoothie.
Stoneridge Orchards happens to be the number one producer of Montmorency Cherries on the West Coast which means that the know how to grow a cherry. If you are fans of fruits covered or plain then give these Stoneridge Orchards fruits a try!
