From Tree to Market: Our Cherry Harvest Journey

Hello Hive family. Hope you all are healthy.

Friends, these days cherry season is going on in Narkanda (where my house is). I was also plucking cherries for two days. Due to which I did not get time to write a blog.

Cherry season comes first in the mountains. There are four cherry trees in my garden. This year there was a good yield of cherries. This is the Black Heart variety of cherry. It is very tasty to eat.

Along with household work, it takes me two days to pluck cherries and pack them in boxes. My uncle's son helps me in this work. This work is not difficult but it takes time because this work is not done by machines here. We have to pluck them ourselves and pack them in boxes.

This morning, after finishing my market work, as soon as I reach home, I take boxes of cherries in my brother's car and leave to sell them in the fruit market. The fruit market is near my house. Cherry season comes first in the lower areas. By the time cherry season starts in higher regions, the price of cherries in the market goes down. I am sharing some pictures with you all, I hope you all like it.
