A\u00a0relatively new variety and a California native, the Cal Red was bred by\r\nUniversity 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.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>O\u2019Henry Peach\r\n<\/b>Farmer Al\u2019s favorite peach to grill, the O\u2019Henry has the flavor, size, and crim- son blush that makes for a truly memorable peach. It\u2019s elegantly pointed shape slices to an attractive heart shape for striking presentation. Our O\u2019Henry harvest 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.\r\n\r\n<b>Flavor King Pluots\r\n<\/b>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 <span class=\"s1\">for baking.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Flavor Heart Pluot\r\n<\/b>The Flavor Heart gets its name from its distinctively tapered shape. Its meaty, pale<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>yellow flesh is very low in acid and the sweetness and color contrasts strikingly with its<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>dark purple almost black skin.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Summer Fire Nectarine\r\n<\/b>The Summer Fire has a firm meaty flesh that isn\u2019t as juicy as some of our other varieties but is packed with a red wine intensity that makes it a memorable and desirable nectarine.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Often with a deeper reddish hue than the Fantasia, the Summer Fire is a variety that\u2019s worth the extra effort it takes to slice and pit a clingstone: its warm\u00a0yellow flesh is streaked beautifully with red near the pit.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Flame Seedless Grapes\r\n<\/b>Firm, large, and sweet the Flame Seedless are one of the most popular varieties in North America. Enjoy these out of hand or try them in green salads, chicken salads, or fruit salads.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIS WEEK\u2019S FRUIT\u00a0 Cal Red Peach The beloved Cal Red is in a class by itself and is the \u201cOh my God\u201d peach!
