Many Yellow Peaches & White Peaches for Sale

   We still have lots of harvested 'Glowingstar' yellow peaches for sale now.  We've almost finished harvesting this variety, so most are safely stored in our cooler, set at 50 F, ideal for storing peaches.  We started harvesting our second white peach variety, 'China Pearl', yesterday, and have that for sale now until about Aug. 28.
We have harvested 'Glowingstar' yellow peaches (left) & 'China Pearl' white peaches (right) for sale now.
   All our peach varieties are freestone, and all have excellent flavor.  I give taste samples to those interested in buying peaches.
   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.
   Our thornless blackberry season ended yesterday, a day earlier than I'd predicted.  Customers found only a few quarts of ripe berries to pick yesterday, and today we're getting another deluge of rain, with more rain predicted tomorrow.
   We still have harvested peaches for sale, during our open hours, for the next 3 weeks.  If you want to buy more than one 20-pound box of peaches, please phone 620-597-2450 a day ahead, and leave a message on our answering machine with your name, day and time you're coming, and how many pounds of peaches you want to 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.
