THIS WEEK’S FRUIT
Suncrest Peach
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood
A Slow Food Ark heritage variety, the Suncrest has all the old-fashioned taste of days gone by. Its a truly memorable peach whose firm but juicy flesh provides a real eat-over-the-sink experience. Gently tapered, the Suncrest has hardly any blush to speak of on its rich yellow skin. A more fragile variety, the Suncrest bruises easily when picked, but as many of our farmers market customers know, a picking bruise means the fruit is extra delicious.
Summer Flare Nectarine
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood
Our Summer Flare trees produce some of the largest and juiciest nectarines we see. Rich in flavor, they’re often solid red with hardly a streak of yellow in the skin. A clingstone, the Summer Flare is an ideal variety to bite right into and eat out of hand.
Dapple Dandy Pluot
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood
Playfully called the “dinosaur egg” pluot, the Dapple Dandy has marbled pink and green skin over delicate white flesh threaded with rose. Kids especially love this pluot for its distinctive coloration and the lack of tartness in the skin.
