Peaches

Sweet and juicy, peaches are a true joy of summer. Whether enjoying them alone or added to some cottage cheese, yogurt, or ice cream, you’ll be glad you picked some up! Minnesota's climate doesn't lend itself well to growing peaches, so we import them from independent growers from states like Georgia and Colorado.

Colorado Peaches (especially those from the Palisades region) are legendary because the high altitude and extreme temperature swings between day and night create a "sugar stress" that makes them incredibly sweet and juicy. These peaches are tree-ripened, meaning they stayed on the branch until they reached their maximum sugar content. When you bite into one, have a napkin ready. They are famously "sink-side" juicy!

Sold at farm stands by the pound. Peaches from Georgia are typically in season beginning mid-June, while peaches from Colorado generally arrive in mid-July. You can expect to find peaches at our Farm Stands through early September. Look for a deep yellow-to-orange background color (the red "blush" is just from the sun and doesn't always mean ripeness). Give it a gentle sniff near the stem. It should smell like pure summer perfume. 

Can't get enough? Bulk produce preorders of Colorado Peaches by the case are typically available early August through early September.
