August....Rosa Peaches



Peaches:  $2.00 1-10 lbs   $1.50 11-30 lb   $1.25 31-49 lbs 
 $1.00 50 lbs +
It's time to pick the Rosa Peaches at Sauvie Island Farms.  This peach has an excellent 'peachy' flavor, is good for fresh eating, freezing or canning.  The Rosas are not classified a 'freestone', but they are coming off the pit nicely this year.  These peaches are tree ripened and ready to be picked.

If you are waiting for the Veteran peaches, it may be another week or so before they are tree ripened.  The Veterans are a favorite for canning and freezing, very easy to work with.


Berries: $2.50 lb u-pick
Blue Crop and Liberty Blueberries available this week.

End of the season for Red Raspberries but a small quantity is getting picked each day.

Marionberry season is over.
Chester Blackberries are ripening nicely!

We have fresh picked flats of blueberries and Chesters each day for $32.  You can call a day ahead if you would like to reserve a flat.  503.621.3988..leave a message.
