This lovely postcard shows the recipe of Michigan Cherry Pie. Michigan’s cherry production is about 250 million pounds, and represents about 75 percent of the tart cherries and 20 percent of the sweet cherries grown annually in the United States. Cherry orchards line the eastern shore of Lake Michigan from Benton Harbor to the Traverse City area.The sandy soil and temperate weather conditions along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan are excellent for growing fruit.
