With the last week of our apricot harvest behind us, our Peaches can safely assert their place as the reigning queen of summer. This week we share a poem in her honor!

A Fresh Peach

by Marilyn Lott

There is nothing in the world

That is as juicy or as sweet

As a freshly picked peach

Oh, what a luscious treat

Picked right from the tree

Soft but still quite firm

Pristine fresh it is

Free from scars or worms

Fuzzy on the surface

But very succulent inside

Oh, how delicious the taste

Such a moist flavorful ride

To find the perfect fruit

Is not beyond your reach
