Tree Fruit
Peaches
Peach production will slow down a bit this week. As of right now we are looking to pick the last peach of the season approximately one month from now. If weather permits, peaches should be available from HMC until at least the 3rd week in September. We expect peach quality and flavor to remain strong until the end.
Nectarines
Nectarines will be available from HMC from now until the 3rd week in September. A steady stream of Nectarines are coming in everyday and this trend will continue until the last variety of the season, September Free.
Plums
Plums continue to remain a hot commodity. The black plums should ease up a little this week with Black Kats coming into production. Red plums on the other had will stay tight until our proprietary Holiday red plum enters the marketplace at the beginning of September.
