THIS WEEKS FRUIT
O’Henry Peaches
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood, CA
Farmer Al’s favorite peach to grill, the O’Henry has the flavor, size, and crim- son blush that makes for a truly memorable peach. It’s elegantly pointed shape slices to an attractive heart shape for striking presentation. Our O’Henry har- vest overlaps briefly with our harvest of the Cal Red leading to a matchup of two of our biggest varieties. At participating farmers markets, our Battle of the Peaches taste-offs between these two varieties grows more and more popular each year.
Cal Red Peaches
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood , CA
The beloved Cal Red is in a class by itself and is the “Oh my God” peach! A
relatively new variety and a California native, the Cal Red was bred by Uni- versity of California botanist Claron O. Hesse in the mid 1960s. Aptly named for the Golden State, the Cal Red is a beautiful golden peach marked with a gentle, sun-kissed blush.
August Fire Nectarine
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood , CA
The August Fire is elegantly shaped and rich in flavor, with deep red skin and warm orange flesh.It’s taste and texture bring our nectarine season to a close beautifully.
Flavor King Pluots
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood , CA
The best pluot variety we grow! A dark-skinned pluot with red flesh, it has an intense rich flavor combined with sweet, spicy tones that are reminiscent of the Santa Rosa. A nice acid bite and firm texture that softens beautifully as the fruit continues to ripen, the Flavor King is amazing out of hand and equally good for baking.
Dapple Dandy Pluots
Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood , CA
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.
