Absolutely, once you have had a really ripe peach right off the tree no store bought will ever be the same again. The really ripe and best ones are too soft to harvest and get to market, the closer to rotting the better.I like to eat them when they are ripe enough that the juice runs down your arm and you need a shower by the time you are done.
Mmmm, those look good! We like peaches, they are just starting to have some locally grown peaches in our supermarkets and farmer's markets, everyone looks forward to these.
Palisade, Colorado is renowned for its ability to grow some of North America’s best fruit. Palisade has a rich history of raising all types of fruits and vegetables in a climate unique to this section of the Western Slope. As early as the 1890s, apple, cherry, peach, pear and plum trees were planted in the area. In 1909, the town celebrated the first Peach Day festival, with President Taft as the speaker. During harvest season, which runs from late June to early October, you’ll be able to find these great fruits and vegetables at stands and orchards throughout the town.
