Traverse City even has the National Cherry Festival every summer to celebrate all things cherry. We were there for the cherry festival three years ago. It's a very cute summer festival with golf tournaments, activities for kids, an air show, cherry pie eating contests, cherry pit spitting contests, and of course a parade featuring the Cherry Queen!
You can buy just about anything with cherries on it up here. Literally anything.
This is from The Cherry Stop, where you can buy clothing and household items with cherries on them, cherry lotions and bath products, and of course a variety of cherry food things. They also have a cherry wine tasting room.
Cherry Republic is a company that produces an enormous variety of cherry food things. Cherry jams and jellies mixed with every other fruit you can think of, cherry barbecue sauces, cherry salsas, cherry peanut butter, dried cherries with or without chocolate... lots of stuff.
If you're coming to Traverse City, come hungry!

If I am in the right mood, I will suffer the lactose consequence of eating some of my favorite ice cream: Ben and Jerry's CHERRY Garcia! Maybe two times a year!
Looks like you are having a great summer.
Funny, my brother is lactose intolerant too but he can eat ice cream without too much of a problem. I bet Cherries Moobilee from Moomers would tempt you to brave lactose intolerance too!
I had no idea there was a "cherry city"! That's pretty cool actually. I love cherries... one of the rare fruits I like.
I don't think I knew that you don't like fruits. Do you like vegetables? I've been having a hard time making myself eat most veggies since transplant, not sure why.
Oh wow!! The Mooers is just PERRRRFECT for you!! heheh!!! When you come to visit-- I'm breaking out the ice cream maker and I'll make you your fav. flavour!!
Oops.. I meant Moomers... : )
