Thousands of Door County cherry blossoms will be in full bloom this weekend.
"We're just getting ready for the whole season again" says Bob Lauternbach of Llautenbach's Orchard Country Winery.
Lautenbach is getting his cherry blossom orchard and winery in tip top shape before this weekend.
"Yes it's a very important week and weekend for us a lot of people come and take pictures and check out the blossoms” says Lautenbach.
Cherry blossoms typically bloom during the middle to the end of May. There are 2500 acres of cherry blossoms, ready to bloom.
"Looks like we're going to have a fairly good crop we didn't get a lot of frost here so we're looking at and anticipating a great crop," said Lautenbach.
Door County is the fourth largest cherry producer in the nation, producing 8 to 14 million pounds of cherries per season and the county depends on it.
"The cherry industry in general plays a big part in the Door County experience and to that really the economic impact that it has on the county from a tourism stand point is pretty big" says Jon Jarosh, Door County Visitor Bureau.
But it's the blossoms that get people from all over the state to come out. “It brings people to your door if you have resale establishment it's part of your orchard it gets people in, checking stuff out and curious.” Says Jarosh.
If you can’t make it out his weekend don't worry the blossom will last until around June first.
