Cherry Lane is a 10-generation farm business headed by Jen Smith, a 10th-generation farmer who took over her family’s 400-acre farm when her father retired over 30 years ago. Their property was acquired in 1908. Now, they cultivate cherries, peaches, and pears. Their specialty is Montmorency cherries, which are tart and perfect for pies and jams. They process cherries, removing pits and packaging them for use in these foods. They have also researched and produced cherry juice concentrate for its amazing health benefits.
You can find Cherry Lane products online or in retail stores across Canada. The woman-led business continues the tradition of participation in a program that employs Jamaican workers during the summer months. For over 50 years, Jamaican workers return to Cherry Lane’s farms each summer to help with growth and production, helping foster international ties right here in Canada.
