We grow so many different varieties of peaches on our farm here on the North Fork of Long Island that one experiences peach season as a book with many chapters.  Take a moment and savor the particular point in the progression of the Wickham’s Fruit Farm peach season where we are at right now, in which our yellow peaches have tender flesh with great texture, and our white peaches have a pale, delicate interior sometimes flecked with red streaks toward the center, as well as soft and thin skin.  Both our yellow and white peaches at this time of the year have an astonishing amount of juice in them.  Take home a basket of them and bite into one.  Fair warning — you’re going to need napkins!  Several.
