CALIFORNIA STONE FRUIT ARRIVING WEEKLY

California Apricots and Cherries historically lead off the season late April. This year, however, various factors have combined to delay the early varieties by as much as two weeks. The late start is being attributed to tremendous amounts of rain and colder-than-usual weather, which impacted bloom and pollination. But that doesn’t mean it’s not going to be a good season. “Overall it is going to be a unique and positive year,” Jarod Hunting, Earl’s Stone Fruit buyer said.

Frog Hollow Farm Honey Rich Apricots

Don’t miss the delicious varieties arriving weekly. Frog Hollow tree ripened apricots are bursting with flavor. Honey Rich Apricots are sweet even when the flesh is still crisp, they continue to ripen into soft juicy delicacies. Frog Hollow Red Roy Apricots coming soon. Homegrown Krista Yellow Peaches and Zee Fire Yellow Nectarines have outstanding flavor! The stone fruit category is becoming more robust with new varieties coming on: Snow Fox White Peaches, Rose Brite Yellow Nectarines and Princess Time Yellow Peaches.
