We grow a large number of different peach varieties, each maturing at a slightly different time. Peaches are one of the most versatile fruits, enjoyable fresh or canned, in pies, chutneys, juices and sauces. The varieties that we currently produce are Harrow Diamond, Garnet Beauty, Redhaven, P.F. 17, Harrow Beauty, Loring and Vanity. They are all in season sometime between mid-July and mid-September. Most of these varieties (except Garnet Beauty) are freestone peaches, which means when they are ripe, the flesh will come away from the pit quite readily.

Selecting properly ripened peaches is very important, as unripe peaches have very little taste and an unpleasant texture. Mature peaches should be round and filled out - never flat, and there should not be any green colour anywhere on the peach. Although most retailers do not appreciate squeezing of peaches, a ripe peach should indent slightly when squeezed.
