RED HAVEN PEACHES

We will begin picking the Red Haven Peaches on Thursday, July 29th. The peaches are just $1.50/lb. with a discount for quantities over 15 lbs.

The trees are loaded with beautiful peaches, however, not all are ripe, so you need to be selective in the ones you pick. Lightly touch the peach in the palm of your hand then lift, if it falls off the tree, it is ripe. You don't want to tug and pull at the peach to get it to come off, this will result in bruising and the peach is probably not going to be as sweet as a 'tree ripened' peach.

The SUNFLOWERS are blooming.
Nothing says summer like a tree ripened sweet peach and beautiful sunflowers at Sauvie Island Farms!!
