Let it be known that Idaho isn’t just potatoes and sugar beets, it’s also cherry country. A spectacular site, and a rite of spring, It's Blossom time on Cherry Hill Farm south of Nampa.

“So my name is Maurina Rowley and we’re up here on Cherry Hills Farms. We have been farming up here for about nine and a half years. We started in Utah and we have expanded to Idaho to give family members an opportunity to be a part of the farm and have their families up here to be able to work with each other,” said Rowley.

And Marina is on a mission, to share her magnificent farm with as many city people as possible.

“We have created some new opportunities to give people the option of buying fruit from us and be able to be involved with the farm. So we decided last year that we would give the public the opportunity to come out and enjoy the farm and be able to pick fruit,” said Rowley.

Last Cherry Hill had a harvest tour, this spring they had a blossom tour and when the fruit comes on in the fall people can come out and pick fruit.
