Quanmei Cherry Eco-Farm

Quanmei Cherry Eco-Farm

You can see their cherry orchard right at the highway entrance toll station. A farm this close? Indeed it is—actually, Quanmei Eco-Farm is still within the boundaries of Chaoyang District, still in the main urban area. You can’t exit directly to the cherry orchard from the highway; I had to drive about three or four kilometers north to get off the highway, then turn back south.

Quanmei is not just a simple fruit-picking farm—it’s an eco-farm. In addition to cherries, it grows many flowers, plants, and other fruits. As an eco-farm, its layout and design differ greatly from those of typical pick-your-own farms. Rows of lush cherry trees are interspersed with various low-growing plants—fresh vegetables, bright red strawberries, and even traditional Chinese medicinal herbs.

The cherries are now deep red; take a bite, and you’ll find them sweet with a pleasant tang. According to the technicians, this is a fully organic eco-farm—no chemical fertilizers or pesticides are used in the production process. Everything is cultivated using organic materials and a naturally organic environment, so the taste is exceptionally delicious.

Most of the cherry varieties at Quanmei are early or mid-season types, with the most common being Jiahong, Yanhong, Hongdeng, and Zaodaguo. Their optimal ripening period is from late May to early June.
