Capturing views of Orange, Mount Pleasant Cherries located at Mount Pleasant Lane is a third-generation family run orchard commenced in 1962 by Zac and Thel Rossi as Rossi Orchards, growing apples, pears, cherries and other stone fruit.

 

The orchard operations were handed down to the second generation in 1995 by Zac and Thel to son Terry Rossi, and daughter Karen and her husband Ray Selmes who focused on growing premium quality cherries for the domestic and export markets.
