This specific station buys cherries from approximately 170 farmers all located in the area. Their farms are on average between 0.5 to 2 hectares in size, and sit between 1925 and 2110 masl. The washing station is close to the farms which means that no farmer needs to transport their cherries for more than 40 minutes. Harvest & Post-Harvest The cherries are picked and sorted by smallholders. They are sold by the farmers at a cherry collection centre, or at the washing station directly — depending on their proximity to each location. Sometimes, the cherries are also sorted at the washing station.
