Cheese

Wickham’s Fruit Farm keeps a variety of high-quality cheeses in stock, personally selected by our farmstand manager Laurie McBride. This week’s selection includes baby manchego, fresh mozzarella, natural smoked mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and baby brie wheels.

Peaches

The first peaches of the season are on the stand. Try the juicy Early Red Free with tender, white flesh, or our flavorful yellow peach varieties Garnet Beauty and Salem.

Crop rotation

Test-driving this tillage implement on a field where we are rotating out dwarf cherries for a different crop next year. Crop rotation is a practice we have engaged in for many years, which benefits the soil.
