We want to wish all of our clients a very merry holiday season spent with those closest to you in these unprecedented times. 2020 presented us with both the exciting moment of beginning operations at our new packing facility, and the challenge of running our harvest in the midst of a global pandemic. We are very grateful to our team for their diligence with new protocols, which allowed us to reach the end of 2020 with a healthy team. ... Best wishes for a happy New Year, and we look forward to discussing the 2021 season with you in the months to come.

Our 2020 season is now complete and it will be one for the books. We'd like to extend the warmest gratitude to all our customers that helped make this season great. Our new packing plant is able to run double the hourly volume as our old location, which allows our cherries to arrive as fresh as possible. The brand new automated packing equipment is much more gentle on the fruit and reduces risk of bruising during packing. We'd like to thank you for your understanding as we de...alt with a much shorter crop than projected, due to the frost damage that impacted the Okanagan valley. Jealous Fruits expects to see a significant lift in production during the 2021 cherry harvest. This season our team worked hard to adapt to the new plant and updated Unitec system. Next year, with the increase in volume and more experience under our belt we will be able to process our cherries faster, providing our customers with the freshest, finest cherries the Okanagan can offer.

Last week we showcased our Canadian cherries in Vietnam with Klever Fruit! The ceremony was very successful with the attendance of H.E Ms. Debora Paul, Ambassador of Canada to Vietnam. During the event Ms. Deborah Paul unboxed the first Canadian Cherry box from Jealous Fruits to start off the 2020 Canadian cherry season in Vietnam. We are so grateful for the relationship we have with Klever Fruit and cannot wait for the many cherry seasons to come. Take a look at this beautiful showcase!

As of Saturday July 25th, we completed the early part of our harvest, including the Satins, Suite Notes, and the early ripening Lapin blocks in Kelowna. This early fruit represents 15% of our crop, and we are appreciative of customer support to date. Today, Sunday July 26th , we are excited to be starting on our main harvest, with so much volume still to go. Coming off the trees this week are Kordia, Lapins, Regina and Skeena!
