Did you know California produces over 95% of the nations nectarines and plums? And about two-thirds of all the fresh market peaches? California is the fruit basket of the world and continues to lead the nation in best on the farm practices. An ideal growing environment along with progressive research and development make California peaches the best! California growers are continually looking for new ways to grow a better, tastier peach. I just saw an article this morning talking about a Fresno based company specializing in breeding new stone fruit varieties. Even though there are currently over 250 peach varieties (talk about biodiversity) in the state, growers are always looking for new ways to grow a tastier peach.
