Farmstand
Days and Hours of Operation
It was a FUN and busy 1st morning and with that the ripe fruit has been picked and we will be CLOSED tomorrow (Sunday 6/22). There will be a TON of peaches and nectarines ripening throughout the season through July, so there will be many more chances to pick! Some things to note: - Drive slow (respect our neighbors!) and only park in designated areas - Absolutely NO pets! And all kids must remain with their adults at all times - It’s summertime at a working farm—wear sunscreen, bring water, and we recommend closed-toed shoes - You-Pick available ONLY during our posted open hours—do not come to the farm outside of when we’re open! After a rough spring with birds and fruit thieves, we’re excited to start a new season, enjoy some farm fresh fruit, and see some familiar and friendly faces. See you at the farm! |

Peaches
Redhaven Peach - Medium, nearly fuzzless fruit, color is a beautiful red and golden yellow. Flesh is firm, smooth textured and with very good, low-acid flavor. It becomes freestone as it ripens and is an old-time favorite. Excellent for dessert, canning and freezing. (late June/early July)
Red Globe Peach - A large, round freestone. Skin is highly blushed red over golden yellow background. Firm, yellow flesh has excellent flavor. Absence of red in the flesh makes it an outstanding canning peach. Bruise resistant. (early/mid July)
