Plucked Straight from the Tree

Growing up with an orchard in the backyard, I learned mighty early that fresh peaches were about the most delicious thing on the planet. I loved to find and pick the juiciest peach I could, then I would eat it right under the tree with nectar dripping down my face.

Sadly, my dads orchard is now miles and miles away. Here in Medford we've found a farm where we go each summer and pick ripe peaches. My kids still get to experience that same mouth-watering experience.

We have been eating peaches for weeks. I'm still not tired of them. If only fresh peaches lasted all year long, I'd be in heaven!
