Dowless Peach Orchard

Dowless Peach Orchard Have you ever really tasted a peach? Those peaches will never reach their full sweetness. They are then sold on the farm where they're grown starting that day.

If you buy your peaches from grocery stores or even most roadside stands, chances are the peaches you have been eating were picked well before they were ripe, shipped long distances, warehoused, and then stored before sale. At Dowless Peach Orchards, our fruit ripens on the tree and are picked at the peak of flavor.

So, I have been putting this post off but we need to have a talk about this year’s peach crop. The drought of the past month has been extremely damaging to our early-season peaches. We have fewer peaches and many of the ones we have are too small to be sellable. Especially given the rain chances this coming week, we hope to recover by July and the main part of our season. However, with a rain deficit this serious it’s likely this will not exactly be our best year. That said, despite an early scare we should have at least some figs, apples, pears and grapes. And because our value-added products are made from fruit peeled, cored and frozen the previous year, we will continue to have our syrups, sauces, salsas, ciders and jams in abundance throughout the summer, and we intend to carry on with our normal schedule of summer markets. One silver lining to all this is that the young trees in our new orchard (pictured) love this dry, sunny weather. So we hope next year to begin harvesting from all 21 different varieties in it. So there is our news, not exactly pleasant, but unavoidable. And a reminder that farming is always a dance with God. And the farmer does not lead.
