Red Truck Orchards’ Cherry Vinegar
Tastemaker
By Anna Faller | April 11, 2026
We love a powerhouse pantry staple, especially one with proven health benefits. Enter: the original Cherry Vinegar from Red Truck Orchards in Northport. Crafted from Montmorency cherries sourced from northern Michigan family farms (including Red Truck’s home orchard, Hallstedt Homestead Cherries), this small-batch vinegar starts as cherry wine before undergoing a two-step fermentation, complete with a uniquely-cultivated strain of acetobacteria. Wood-aged and bottled with “the mother” (aka containing live cultures), this superfood is bursting with micronutrients and combines bright acid with nuanced complexity and a lingering, cherry-forward finish. Add a dash to marinades, stir it into beverages, or enjoy it straight from the spoon—the options are endless (and all cherry good for you!). Shop the Cherry Vinegar online at redtruckorchards.com, use their “find a store” tool to locate the nearest bottle, or visit 8233 North Matheson Rd. in Northport.
