Last 10 to 14 Days for Peach Sales

   We still have many harvested yellow peaches and white peaches for sale now and for the next 10 to 14 days.  As of Mon. Aug. 19, all our student workers are back in high school or college, and they only work here on Fridays and Saturdays.  So we only have a few trees of our latest-ripening peach varieties, since I have to pick most of them by myself.
   I'll finish harvesting 'Carolina Gold' yellow peaches over the next couple days.  As of today, we still have about 900 pounds of this variety in our cooler, so we have plenty for sale. We've already finished harvesting 'China Pearl' white peaches, and we still have about 300 pounds of white peaches to sell before we sell out of them. 

We now have many 'Carolina Gold' yellow peaches (top) for sale, a good amount of 'China Pearl' white peaches (middle), and a few 'Flameprince' (bottom) and 'Autumn Star' (not pictured) yellow peaches for sale.

   I just started harvesting 'Flameprince' and 'Autumn Star' yellow peaches, our latest-ripening peach varieties, and I'll harvest more this week and next week.  We have just 2 trees of 'Flameprince' and 4 trees of 'Autumn Star'.
   All our peach varieties are freestone, and all have excellent flavor.  I give taste samples to those interested in buying peaches.  All our harvested peaches are safely stored in our cooler, set at 50 F, ideal for storing peaches.
   We'll still have peaches for sale until at least Aug. 28, and possibly a few days after that.  I'll start harvesting a few early apples and European pears in the last few days of Aug., and we usually have many customers stop by during the week leading up to Labor Day.  That's Sept. 2 this year, so we'll probably sell out of peaches by Sept. 2.
   Small amounts of harvested peaches cost $1.30 per pound + tax.  We pick directly into 20-lb. boxes, which I then weigh to exactly 20.0 lbs., so you save $1.00 if you buy a 20-lb. box of peaches for $25.00 + tax.  We also usually have some nice 2nds peaches with rain cracks, limb rubs or other surface damage, which sell for just $0.88 per pound + tax.
   For payment, we accept cash or checks; NO debit cards or credit cards.  Please bring your checkbook or enough cash to cover what you'll buy.  Thanks.
   We're still open our summer hours, as shown in the sidebar at left.  Until Aug. 31, we're open 7:30 a.m. to 12 noon & 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Mon.-Sat., and closed noon to 7 p.m.  We're also closed Sunday mornings for church, so on Sundays we're open 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. only.  If you tell others about us, please let them know these summer hours.  Thanks.
   I'll usually be out harvesting peaches each morning, until customers start arriving here.  I put a sign on the sales building above our bell, that says "I'm working in the orchard. Ring bell for service."  Ring it loudly, just once or twice, and I'll hear it and drive our utility vehicle up to the sales building.
