Andy's Orchard in Morgan Hill is my favorite source of tree-ripened stone fruit. It opened last week for the season. My first time to visit at the start of the harvest, beginning with cherries, and the displays looked eerily bare compared to what will available in the coming weeks. Fruits are all estate-grown unless marked otherwise.
We tasted all the cherries and the Governer Wood were the most complex and interesting to me. The slightly higher acidity sets off the flavors and sweetness beautifully. Described as a "yellow" cherry, these were quite ripe and mostly pale red with flashes of yellow. Small, but so good.
Linked below is the harvest calendar.
