Peaches are a fruit native to China, but cultivated in almost all the countries with a cool climate. They have an outer skin that is reddish-orange in color, while the flesh is either white or yellow.

Red Haven

This is the first variety of the season for us, coming ripe late-July. Truly a favorite for it's high sugar content and beautiful color. Great in desserts, jams, or over ice cream. This is a clingstone.

Veteran

This variety is the favorite among the canners. Peels easily...no scalding required and they're also freestone. Sweet and medium in size. These are of a softer texture and very juicy. Their skin color is more yellow than red and come ripe in mid-August.

Out of the hundreds of varieties of peaches, each can be classified as a clingstone (flesh clings to the pit) or a freestone (pit is easily removed from the flesh) or semi-freestone (a hybrid of the two).

Vivid

The Vivid has a great reputation as the Perfect Peach in our family. Large in size, very sweet, and juicy. When you're not eating them...you simply want to admire them! They're freestone and come ripe early Aug.

Suncrest

And last but not least are the Suncrest. Get here early when these are ripe as they go fast! Not only do they have a wonderful flavor but the deep peachy color of their flesh is beautiful. These ripen mid August.
