Nebilyer Valley is known as the fruit bowl of the Western Highlands Province. The region is known for having the best pineapples, bananas and pawpaw fruit. The soil is extremely fertile and nutrient-rich.Cherry is selectively handpicked by workers on the Nebilyer farm. During the harvest season, Nebilyer Plantation employs up to 80 people to help selectively pick ripe, red cherries in their fields. Once picked, the cherry is floated to remove any underripes. Cherry is laid on patios or raised beds to dry. Cherry is raked frequently to ensure even drying. It takes approximately 18 to 21 days for the cherry to dry.
