Wow!! It finally started to cool off a little. At least the nights have been reasonably cool. This helps the fruit mature at a perfect rate. Once again it is hard on the fruit going to market in this daytime heat. Some of the sweetest, best varieties are close to ripeness. Yellow freestone peaches are as good as they get for those who are looking to can or freeze for later treats. Ask about box rates. Pluots are also close to perfection. The Dapple Dandys are closr for beautiful color and flavor. Beautiful speckled outside with a explosion of red inside. Flavor grenades are three weeks away.
Summer vacations aren't right without tree ripened fruit in the ice chest. Check out our website for locations of the nearest farmers market where we are participating. We will advise you which fruit will travel and stay fresh and flavorful. Thanks for your support. JIM
