Mike Casey: Electric Cherries Founder on the season and the Mike Hosking Cherry Tree

A decent haul from Mike Hosking’s cherry tree.  Last year he was gifted a tree to ‘adopt’ by the team at Electric Cherries – who run everything without the use of fossil fuels.  The ‘Mike Hosking Tree’ has now been harvested and six kilos of cherries are ready to be eaten.   Founder Mike Casey told Mike Hosking that it’s been a pretty rough season down in Central Otago, with a lot of wind, rain, and a lot of damaged cherries.   But there’s a consolation prize, he says, which is that prices have remained high since there’s been much fewer cherries on the market.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
