About Us

Benjamin Twiggs, Michigan’s Original Cherry Store
Since 1966, Benjamin Twiggs has been sharing the flavor, tradition, and pride of Michigan cherries with the world. As a fifth-generation cherry farming family, we create delicious, authentic products made with 100% Michigan-grown cherries—many from our own farm. From gourmet jams and salsas to decadent chocolate-covered cherries, every item reflects our commitment to quality, local sourcing, and supporting Michigan’s farming heritage.

Our Traverse City retail store is more than a shop—it’s a cherry experience. Visitors learn about the cherry industry, and discover unique gifts for every occasion. We also serve wholesale customers, offering fresh, local products for shops, restaurants, and gift programs across the country.

At Benjamin Twiggs, we are passionate about educating the community on why cherry farming matters and about preserving the flavors that make Northern Michigan special. Whether you’re a local, a visitor, or a business partner, we invite you to taste the tradition.
