How to Pick Your Own Peaches

• Peaches that are ripe will have a slight softness when pressed around the stem or shoulder of the peach and will have some coloring (yellow). Beware: don’t press so hard that you leave finger impressions!



• The fruit runs the finest quality, 80% grade US #1 off the tree, but there will be a few “seconds” with blemishes.

• Please keep the peaches you pick. You are free to pick any peaches you choose, from hard to soft-ripe. All of the peaches you pick today will ripen/soften eventually. You may discard any diseased fruit or fruit with extensive scaring ONLY.



• Peaches are delicate. Place your peaches in your bag carefully without dropping them.

• 
We will supply bags for you to use. Again, do not overfill bags!

• 
Store peaches below 40 degrees or above 60 degrees. The twenty degree range from 40-60 degrees Fahrenheit is known as the “kill zone.” Peaches stored for more than a few days in this temperature range will develop a dry, pithy flesh similar to what is found in inferior supermarket fare.


• Be smart. Common sense rules apply: Don’t climb trees, shake trees, or otherwise damage them. Every year someone damages a tree - please don't be that person. (PS If you are, we will throw you out promptly!)

• Respect your farmers and fellow pickers... throwing fruit, stealing fruit or otherwise being a jerk is cause for ejection from the orchard.
