Peach Trees Galore

A proudly standing peach tree

When you walk into our open fields, you’ll see long rows of small, slender peach trees.  The trunks seem thin and fragile. The long leaves cluster at the top and flutter with the wind. Will they last the fall and winter?

Don’t let their slight appearance fool you. These young peach trees don’t look like much now, but they are known to become sturdy, fertile trees.

The two long rows are comprised of about 38 peach trees. They are one to three years old and include varieties such as the Reliance, O’Henry, Loring, and Early Redhaven. All of these varieties are self-fruitful, strong, and can withstand cold climates.

As a whole, peach trees start bearing fruit after two to three years. Their prime comes at six to seven years and their lifespan extends from twenty to thirty years. Our baby peach trees still have a long way to go.

Peaches also have many health benefits. They improve cardiovascular health, promote healthy skin, and support the digestive system by relieving constipation. In the near future we would like to make all of these fresh organic fruits available to you.

Until then, we will work hard on the trees and dream of fresh, full, juicy peaches; peach pies; and warm poached peaches with whipped cream.
