SCROLL DOWN FOR DESCRIPTION AND TIMING OF OUR PEACH VARIETIES
PEACH SEASON IS OVER FOR 2024
HOW TO PICK PEACHES AND OTHER USEFULL INFO
as with other fruit cradle peach in your hand and lift it up,
if you grab it with your fingers and pull down it will hold on for dear life and it will bruise
we usually have you drive up to the peaches to park closer
watch out! for sprinkler pipe
you can not drive over them without breaking them
some peaches have a red base and some green
they both ripen to yellow so the first indication that they are ripe is a yellow spot
then feel near the stem to see if it is a little soft, if is is, it is ripe
if the entire peach is soft it is overripe
if that is what you want ok, if not keep looking
there will be green and ripe peaches on the same tree
taste the peach, if it is sweet it will ripen in the box even if it is firm
arrive early and it will not be so hot
you may use our buckets to pick in
bring a box or buy one from us
when we are open for upick you do not need an appointment
DONUT PEACH NOW PICKING NO UPICK IN THESE
RIPENS FIRST IN OUR SEASON. SMALL, FLAT AND VERY SWEET, HAS WHITE FLESH AND A PINK BLUSH. IS EXTREMELY DELICATE AND BRUISES EASILY. THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO PICK WITHOUT TEARING THE SKIN AT THE STEM END.
RED HAVEN PEACH NOW PICKING NO UPICK IN THESE LIMITED SUPPLY
FULL SIZE PEACH , YELLOW FLESH AND SWEET TART FLAVOR. SOME WILL CAN THESE BUT I WOULD NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO BE SUPER RIPE TO BE FREESTONE AND THAT IS TOO MUCH WORK. THEY ARE HOWEVER EXCELLENT FOR FRESH EATING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE GOOD FOR FREEZING BUT I HAVE NEVER FROZEN PEACHES.
ROSA PEACH 2024 FINISHED FOR 2024
THIS IS THE FIRST OF THE PEACHES THAT I WOULD CONSIDER CANNING. IT WILL BE FREESTONE WHEN FULLY RIPE AND HAS YELLOW FLESH AND A FAIRLY SOLID TEXTURE. AS THE SEASON PROGRESSES THE VARIOUS PEACH VARIETIES SEEM TO GET LESS FIBROUS AND WILL HAVE A MORE MELTING TEXTURE.
DELP HALE PEACH FINISHED FOR 24
SOLID YELLOW PEACH WITH GOOD TEXTURE AND VERY SWEET WHEN RIPE. A GOOD CANNER. UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE VERY FEW DELP HALE TREES LEFT AND CANNOT FIND REPLACEMENTS SO WHILE WE WILL HAVE SOME , IT WILL BE A LIMITED CROP
GLOWHAVEN PEACH FINISHED FOR 2024
This is a new peach to us. The description is sweet tart, a peach that does not brown easily and is a fine dessert peach. I do not see that it is good for canning. It does sound like it may freeze well.
RED GLOBE 2024 FINISHED FOR 2024
SUNCREST PEACH FINISHED FOR 2024
THIS IS A WONDERFUL PEACH. SOLID YELLOW FLESH AND VERY SWEET WHEN FULLY RIPE. IT ALSO TRAVELS WELL FOR A PEACH. THEY ARE SOMETIMES QUITE LARGE. THESE ARE GOOD FOR CANNING AND ALL RIPE PEACHES ARE GOOD FOR FRESH EATING BUT THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES
RIPENS MID TO LATE AUGUST
WHITE PEACH FINISHED FOR 2024
SUPER SWEET AND SUPER DELICATE , FLESH IS WHITE AND I WOULD SUGGEST PICKING THEM ON THE FIRMER SIDE BECAUSE THEY LOVE TO BRUISE, RIPENS MID TO LATE AUGUST
