Market News

Hello!

We are very pleased and excited this week to announce that this Wednesday we will be sharing our delivery site at Trinity Church with The Peach Truck. As hopefully you know, we constantly search out high quality, local providers who can offer our Fresh Harvest customers the best of what produce and artisan foods are out there. Well, we heard rave reviews of the peaches from this family peach orchard in Georgia, Pearson Farm, who have been touting their Georgia grown peaches all over town out of the back of their pick up truck, The Peach Truck. We feel like this product is a good match for our customers, as even though it is not local, it is produced on a family farm so you are directly supporting an independent grower. Also, peaches are very hard to grow organically and in fact are considered one of the “dirtiest” fruits in terms of chemical usage. This has always been a deterrent to us in the past, as we otherwise sell only organically grown produce to you. These peaches are NOT organic, to be very clear. However, the Pearson Farm is the first farm in Georgia to receive GAP (Good Agricultural Practices) certification, meaning their peaches are grown with water-saving drip irrigation systems and minimal use of pesticides. We have been told they spray their trees with a fungicide at most once a year, with the goal of spraying every other year.
These peaches are picked within a few days before they are sold. The peaches I bought last week were firm, but ripened in the bag in a couple of days. They were not only perfect looking with no bruising, they were some of the sweetest and juiciest peaches I have ever had. We are glad to be able to directly connect you with this peach growing family, and feel that even though there are a few exceptions to our “rules” going on, they are a good match with our Fresh Harvest ideals.
The Peach Truck will be at drop off at Trinity from 4-6 on Wednesday. The peaches will not be sold through pre order on the website. All sales will be directly through The Peach Truck. They will be sold by the pound or by the box and there will be plenty.
Please read for yourself about the Pearson farm on their website, thepeachtruck.com, and take the time to talk to the folks at the truck on Wednesday. They are more than happy to talk about their growing practices and their peaches!
The peaches are sold as follows 3 lb bag is $7 or two bags for $12. A 25 lb box is $38.
IF YOUR PICK UP IS ON THE FARM OR AT WESTHAVEN, please leave us your peach order in the comment section of your order. We will have them for you on Thursday.

Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
