Peach Variations
Color
Peaches come in two varieties of color. These distinctions help us determine how the peach will taste.
Yellow Flesh
Peaches tend to have more acid content – flavor many associate with peaches
White Flesh
Peaches tend to have a lower acidity, giving it a mild to sweet flavor
Types of Stone
Freestone
Freestone Peaches have a flesh that does not stick to the stone (pit) so slicing the peach or eating the peach without slicing is much easier. They are also great for baking and preserving. Our freestone peaches are typically in season from early July through early October with the peak of the season being mid-July through mid-August.
Semi-Freestone
Semi-Freestone Peaches have a flesh that comes somewhat away from the stone. We start our peach season with these and suggest they be used for fresh eating while waiting for the freestone peaches to ripen which are easier for slicing. These are typically in season from mid-June through early July.
Clingstone
Clingstone Peaches have flesh that clings to the stone. We do not grow any clingstone peaches.
