Peaches We Grow...
The yellow peach, known for its fuzzy skin, becomes ripe around the summer months. Their red and gold color surrounds their juicy, yellow flesh, which is a perfect combination of a sweet and tart flavor. The juicy fruit contains a pit in the middle, which can either be clingstone or freestone.
Freestone peaches allow for the flesh to fall right off the pit. These peaches are great for canning, freezing, and baking. They are available later in the peach season.
Clingstone peaches do not come off the pit as easy. These peaches are good for eating, but not the best for baking and freezing since they are harder to cut off the pit. These are available early in the peach season

Nectarines are essentially the same as peaches except they don't have peach fuzz. Rather, they have skin similar to that of an apple. Like peaches, they come in white and yellow varieties. Nectarines are typically ready to be harvested between late July and early September. They are best eaten when on the soft side when they are super sweet and juicy.
