Washington’s iconic chocolate maker offers wholesome gifts for the Pacific Northwest palate
Prosser, WA, October 16, 2023 — Chukar Cherries has just released their 2023 gift guide for the upcoming holiday season. According to Wynne Auld, Marketing Manager for Chukar, “we’ve changed things up a bit this year, introducing a broader spectrum of price points, more sustainable packaging, and additional gifts that appeal to all ages. One of my favorite offerings this year is our limited edition Hazelnut Cherries which feature Oregon-grown hazelnuts paired with Washington dried cherries—a true taste of the Northwest!”
This year Chukar celebrates 35 years in business. Family-owned and located in the heart of Washington’s cherry country, the small business has spent the past three-and-a-half decades creating an outlet for local cherry growers and sharing the fruits of central Washington with the world through their store in Pike Place Market, their flagship location in Prosser, WA, and CHUKAR.COM. Each year the team creates holiday gifts that are uniquely Northwest—featuring naturally dried fruits, roasted nuts, and handcrafted chocolates.
