Once UPICK season begins, we start opening different varieties depending on Mother Nature. We should have peaches through May and possibly the first week of June. Please see below the varieties we grow.

1st Variety – Snow Angle – A small orchard with small to medium size peaches. White peaches do not have any acid and are full of sugars.

2nd Variety – Florida Prince – a medium to large sized peach and one of our largest orchards.

3rd variety – Earligrand – the largest peach grown on the farm. Very juicy and sweet, but they do bruise very easily.

4th variety – Springcrest – a medium size peach and very flavorful.

5th variety – Florida King – It doesn’t live up to it’s name because it is a smaller peach, but is juicy and sweet.

7th variety – Princess Peach – a newer variety , a small orchard, but is very sweet

8th variety – Schnepf Peach – A medium size peach that continues to impress.

Apricots still too early to tell if there is a crop
