UPDATE: 2008 HARVEST AND PRE-ORDER PEACH SHIPMENTS

 

July 21, 2008

 

Welcome to “Orchard Buzzzzzz.” for an update of the 2008 Palisade peach harvest.  The harvest is looking very nice and bountiful.  The peaches are large and very juicy with high natural sugars.  We had a cool spring to start things off for 2008 and the peach trees are currently about 10 to 12 days behind normal harvest time.  We expect that we will begin picking and shipping our premium free-stone peaches around the first or second week in August.  The daytime temperatures have been consistently in the 90 to 102 degrees and the evening temperatures range in the 60’s.  These conditions are perfect for tree ripening our peaches to perfection.  For all those who have pre-ordered fresh peaches on-line from our Shopping Cart, you will be notified via e-mail when your peaches are shipped.  Please look for them in early August.

 

Thank you for your patience as our peaches continues to ripen on the trees!
