Summer is a really busy time for our family. We're at more than 25 markets every week in and around Edmonton. Plus, back at home on the farm, Mom and Dad are working long hours tending to all the crops and harvesting them for markets. 

Since we work so much, baking isn't something we really have time for! This week though, since the cherries are so darn good, we thought we'd turn some of the fruit into a sweet treat... Cherry Cobbler!

P.S. We might be biased, but we think this recipe is best when made with our BC cherries!
