He and his wife travelled as truck drivers for many years before deciding to settle down again on their farm.</p> <p>When he returned to his farm in 2018, he found that the soil health was poor and the trees were not in good condition. So, he devoted several years to rejuvenating the soil and trees. Unfortunately, many of the trees needed to be cut down and replanted, but</p> <p>Miguel took the task in stride, dedicated to ensuring optimal soil and plant health. By 2021, he was delivering 84+ lots that are nuanced and flavourful with stone fruit, vanilla and caramelized sugar.<br></p> <p>Cherry is selectively handpicked and dried on patios. All work on the farm is done manually by Miguel and his wife. Cherry is raked frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 17 days for cherry to dry.</p> <p> </p>
