Cherries – with their cheery colour, glossy shine and fruity juiciness – are as much a part of our British treasury of fruit and vegetables as the apple.  

But English Cherries are in a jam – in 50 years we’ve lost 90% of our Cherry orchards and now import around 95% of the Cherries we eat.

FoodLoversBritain.com has come to the rescue with CherryAid.

CherryAid is the campaign that unites all Cherry Lovers
– chefs, Cherry growers, producers of Cherry-based food and drink, you, me –
to save the British Cherry
.
