We’ve all heard of Georgia peaches, but what about Maine peaches? These fuzzy, plump, stone-fruit are well known to grow best in warmer climates such as in Georgia, but did you know that many other states have the capabilities of growing high quality peaches too? As we know from experience, Maine typically has colder a colder climate, especially during winter months. However, our showery springs and warm summer days allow our peaches to gain the strength to deliver a juicy, seemingly tropical treat that will make you feel like you’re enjoying a mid-summer day in Georgia. Certain varieties have been specifically bred to withstand colder climates, such as those in northern states, in order to bear plentiful yields for peach lovers and reduce the commodity’s potential food miles. Our peach season typically lasts about a month long from mid-August towards the end of September. Although we can’t supply peaches year-round like the local grocery store, it doesn’t get any fresher than locally grown!
