I just wanted to let everyone know that I will personally be picking your peaches for the CSA boxes. It’s a fine line between unripe and the birds eating the fruit so bear with me. The peaches will probably be best sitting on your counter for a day or two. But you can give them a gentle squeeze and if they give at all they are ready to go. ENJOY.
This CSA program has given us the ability to plant our orchard and grow organic fruit for the boxes. Not to mention the 300+ chickens that supply the eggs. THANKS for supporting what we do.
