What is a tree-ripe peach?
A tree-ripe peach is a peach that is left on the branch until it is completely ripe. We do sell tree-ripe peaches at our roadside market when we have an abundance amount of peaches or for special events. However, since tree-ripe peaches bruise too easily to be shipped or to be handled, we pick the peaches firm-ripe. This means that we pick the peach when it is firm but has a little give when you touch it. Therefore, the peaches you buy online, in our market, or in you local grocery are firm-ripe.
