There are about 4 more weeks for the peach season.  O'Henry peaches will be available in a couple of weeks. Elberta peaches - This is the favorite canning peach for many people. The pit pops out very easily and the skin is thick which makes it easy to peel. This is the beginning of the season. I will be able to fill most orders but if I run out of my allotment, there will be plenty more next week. They will be getting scarce the week after that.  22 lb box for $38 ($1.73/lb) Elegant Lady peaches - Medium size peach. Good for any purpose - 22 lb box for $38 ($1.73/lb) Sweet Dream peaches - Medium to large peach - sub acid - 22 lb box for $38 ($1.73/lb) Zee Lady peaches - Medium size peach.  This is my favorite peach.  It has the perfect peach flavor with melt in your mouth texture.  22 lb box for $38 ($1.73/lb) Donut peaches - White flesh and very sweet 20 lb box for $42 ($2.10/llb) 10 lb box for $24 ($2.40/lb) Red Gold Nectarines - This is the only guaranteed freestone nectarine I will offer this summer. It is my favorite and has the perfect tangy nectarine flavor - 22 lb box for $40 ($1.82/lb) Bartlett Pears - Fruit size of last week's load was actually quite nice.
