Heritage & History
Chukar Cherries was founded in 1988 on a Washington state cherry orchard when owners decided to transform their surplus cherry harvest into shelf-stable products. The Yakima Valley, where Prosser is located, is one of the premier cherry-growing regions in the world — the same volcanic soil, mountain water, and warm summers that produce exceptional wine grapes make extraordinary cherries. Rather than letting excess fruit go to waste, the founders began drying cherries and eventually coating them in chocolate.
The chocolate-covered cherry concept succeeded beyond expectations: Chukar's product combined Washington's exceptional fruit with premium European-style chocolate, producing a confection that won awards and built a loyal following. The company grew from a small farm operation into a Prosser institution with a factory headquarters, a Seattle Pike Place Market location, and nationwide shipping — all while maintaining the same commitment to local fruit and artisanal production.
Made in Prosser, Washington
Chukar Cherries processes and packages all products at the Prosser, Washington factory headquarters. The cherries are grown in the Yakima Valley surrounding Prosser — they travel only a few miles from orchard to dehydrator. The drying process uses no added sugar, sulfites, or preservatives; the natural sugars in Washington cherries concentrate during drying to produce intense, sweet-tart flavor without additives.
The chocolate confections use European pastry-grade chocolate that the company has selected for quality and flavor compatibility with Washington cherries. Confections are made in small batches using old-world copper kettles. The product line includes bing cherries, rainier cherries, organic varieties, and chocolate-covered combinations of cherries with nuts. All production — drying, chocolate coating, packaging — takes place in Prosser. Washington's most beloved fruit confection, made where the cherries grow.
