Yellow Peaches
redstar
July 01- July 08 - SOLD OUT - Freestone - Great peach with excellent flavor. Size is slightly larger than the Redhaven.
Lucky 13
July 04 - July 20 - - Freestone - Rapidly becoming a favorite peach for those who have tried it!
Redhaven
July 08- July 15 - SOLD OUT - Our most popular peach and what everyone considers to be the first freestone peach. Botanically it is considered a semi-cling, we feel the early picked peaches and under-mature peaches tend to stick to the seed. The later picked and soft ripe peaches tend to pull free easily from the seed like a freestone.
Flaming Fury
July 08 - July 18 - SOLD OUT - Freestone - All we know is its a Yellow Freestone Peach.
Glowing star
July 15 - July 25 - AVAILABLE - Nice peach slightly smaller than Coralstar.
coral star
July 20- Aug 05 -AVAILABLE - A peach with a little more size than the contender, we are starting to hear more people coming in and asking for it by name year after year.
Contender
July 20 - Aug 10 - AVAILABLE - Freestone - This is probably our most popular and best known mid-season peach. It's no longer a contender, it's a champion now!
Beaumont
July 30 - Aug 15 -AVAILABLE - Freestone - This is a sweet juicy medium to large peach.
ENCORE
Aug 10 - Aug 20 - - This is our last peach of the season. But do not wait to come and get these, as they are few and far between.
White Peaches
Sadly, we will not have any white peaches for a few years. As the storms this spring (May 2026) took out the few remaining trees that we did have. New trees have been planted, but it will take a few years for them to get big enough to produce a crop. We apologize to those that love a good white peach.
Homegrown Apples
lodi
Great Aunt Peggy’s Favorite Apple for applesauce apple. This tart transparent green apple is the first apple of the summer for us. We have a very limited supply of them when we get to carry them in the store. Call ahead for availability or to reserve your box.
Ginger Gold
An early season golden delicious type apple. Likely will be sold out by Aug 5.
Gala
State Fair Time is Gala Time! The first sweet eating apple of the season! It is aromatic and Excellent for Eating, Drying and Sauces. Good for Pies. Cross between Cox's Pippin Orange and Golden Delicious.
Jonathan
Great multipurpose apple! Considered a tart apple one of the best for making pies, turnovers, and sweet treats! Not considered a good keeping apple.
HONEYCRISP
A fan favorite in the store. Honeycrisp are a sweet-tart apples that are excellent for both cooking and eating. Thier amazing taste leaves them open for both sweet and savory cooking and baking options. But we also love them cold out of the cooler just to eat.
Golden Delicious
A great desert or eating apple best for use in salads and sauces. Not considered to be a good keeping apple due to its thin skin.
Granny Smith
Originally started from the seeds of an apple thrown from the kitchen window in New Zealand. Probably the tartest apple we grow. Considered by many to be a great pie maker. Personally, we like the Jonathan better for this purpose. Granny Smith is considered a very good keeping apple.
Red Delicious
Good eating apple but not highly recommended for making deserts or sauces? Considered a ok keeping apple and the worlds most planted variety.
Jonagold
A cross between the Jonathan and Golden Delicious apple it is considered by many to be one of the best flavored apples being grown today. Especially good while the apple still has it's crunch, (2-3 weeks after picking). It is not considered to be a keeping apple. It is a great multipurpose apple for eating, sauce-making or baking.
Early Pink Lady
Please call ahead to see if they are still available. See below the description for Pink Lady / Cripps Pink. This strain matures 4 weeks sooner than the original Pink Lady apples. We do not know if this apple will keep as well as the original. Flavor, Size and Appearance all look the same.
Braeburn
Another winter apple originally from New Zealand this sweet tart apple is again much like a Jonathan but does not have the full red color like a Winesap or Jonathan. This apple is considered one of the best keeping apples we grow.
Fuji
A delicious sweet winter apple originally brought from Japan. This apple is considered one of the top two keeping apples we grow. Our personal favorite for a long term sweet eating apple. We have actually taken these apples from our own refrigerators, stored in the bag we sell them in, in early August following the year we originally picked them. So they were stored 9 months and other than the skin being shriveled, we peeled the apples and amazingly the apples still had an acceptable eating characteristics
Cripps Pink (aka Pink Lady®)
The last winter apple we pick of the season and rarely gets picked before Oct 25th. This highly anticipated sweet tart apple is known for it's keeping ability. One of the best two keeping apples we grow and it's late picking date only helps with its long-term storability. The surface of the apple is not a smooth finish like a fuji and is uniquely textured unlike any apple we grow. It's unique blush pink colored skin is also unlike any apple we grow. A great late eating apple that some say gets even better after is stored a few weeks. We hope to be acquiring a sport of this variety that will mature a couple of weeks earlier than the original. Hopefully this new sport will be more true to the original sport than the early fuji has turned out to be. Pink Lady® is a registered trademark of Pink Lady America, L.L.C.
