If you’ve yet to eat a peach this season get to the store right now and try one. If possible look for an O’Henry peach. The flavor experience when eating an O’Henry is just what you would imagine a peach to be. Classically sweet, just like out of your grandma’s backyard.

 The growing conditions in the San Joaquin Valley have been great this season. Sometimes growers face tricky weather like late season hail storms that can damage entire orchards.  This year we have had the ideal mix of warm to hot weather. That’s good for the trees because they get to devote all their time and energy to the fruit. At this point in the season the fruit has plenty of time to mature and get a little larger and more flavorful than earlier season fruit. Take a look at the following varieties that are harvesting in July.
