How long will you be selling your nectarines?  Until the beginning of October.

When can you tell that your products are most fresh and ready to be picked? By looking at the top of the fruit, where the branch would have been attached, you can see if the coloring is green or a rich yellow. If the fruit is still green or hard at the top, then more than likely it is not fresh enough to eat yet.
