- Herb Petersen: All our neighbors around there, they all had cherry orchards.
Everybody had cherry orchards. They bought 67,000 trees in 1914 and that got things pretty well started. In 1950, they'd 26,000 ton	they had canned. In 1959, this area had the most cherry orchards, Door County was the biggest cherry growing in the world. I can remember when we had a truck, and we'd go around the neighborhood
and pick up the kids to pick cherries. You had a strap you put around your waist,
and hooked the pail on, so you could use both hands if you wanted to. Some orchards used to put up tents. A lot of Indians from Oneida came, they had camps for them,
and used to have Girl Scouts and that from Milwaukee, and Boy Scouts come and pick cherries. I like to eat 'em, y'know, don't care too much that I have to pick 'em all the time. Matter of fact, I don't pick one pail this year.
