We are currently picking our Desiree peaches! However, the variety is getting very thin and heavily picked over. Our next varieties, Sentry and Red Haven, will not be ready for picking for about 7-10 days. We will keep you posted! Special thanks to all of the peach pickers who have visited us over the last week.
