Peach season is underway at Wickham’s Fruit Farm. We’ve got yellow peaches, white peaches, peaches for eating, peaches for canning, and peaches for cooking. Here’s three reasons to buy our peaches:
1. Years before harvest, when we first plant our peach trees, we select varieties of peach that produce the best-tasting peaches when picked ripe, not the kind of varieties that are made to be shipped a long distance.
2. During harvest, we pick our peaches ripe enough to be eaten the same day, not green enough to sit in storage a long time.
3. We grow our peaches in one of the sunniest zip codes in the Northeastern United States. Even compared to growing regions on the South Fork of Long Island, our location on the North Fork gets more sun per year, and especially during the important ripening period in June and July, the extra sunlight we receive produces peaches that taste better and have more juice than peaches from competing growers.
