Our ideal location with fertile soils left from the receding glaciers 10,000 years ago and a unique microclimate enable us to produce the best tasting crops – Only in Canada Eh!
In order to make your experience unforgettable we devote the utmost care and attention to make sure the fruit is left to ripen on the tree. Fruit ripens gradually throughout the tree and you will find varying levels of maturity, select the larger full colour fruit with no greening visible at the stem end. On average once harvest starts it takes 2-3 days for the less mature fruit to ripen, each variety we grow spans on average 10 day period from start of harvest to end. In order to extend the availability blocks are planted with varieties that have different start dates, for Peaches the Redhaven cultivar is considered the standard where all other varieties start harvest before or after – a typical season spans normally a 6 week window of harvest.
