Hey gang!
Summer is in full swing at the farm, and that means it’s peach season! There’s something truly magical about biting into a fresh, juicy peach that makes you think of sunny skies and lazy afternoons.
But peaches aren’t just a treat for the taste buds; they’re packed with healthy hydration. Here’s more from the sweet world of peaches and how they can help you stay cool on a hot day.
Some REAL peachy goodness…
Peaches are not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious. Here are Farmer Hugh’s Top 3 Peachy Facts:
- Hydrating and Low in Calories: With a high water content, peaches are a hydrating snack perfect for hot summer days. Plus, they’re low in calories, making them a guilt-free snack.
- Rich in Vitamins: Peaches are a powerhouse of vitamins A and C, essential for maintaining healthy skin and boosting your immune system. These vitamins also act as powerful antioxidants.
- Good for Digestion: High in dietary fiber, peaches help keep your digestive system running smoothly. They can promote a healthy gut, making you feel lighter and more energized.
Family Fun with Peaches
Peach season is the perfect time to be together, here at the farm and after you pick! Here are three fun activities to try:
- Pick-Your-Own Adventures: Head to our orchards and enjoy a day of picking your own peaches. Connect with nature, teach kids about where their food comes from, and, of course, taste the freshest peaches straight from the tree.
- Peach-Themed Cooking: Get the whole family involved in the kitchen by making peach-inspired recipes. From peach cobbler to peach smoothies, cooking together is a fun way to bond and enjoy the fruits of your labor—literally!
- Entertaining Friends with Peachy Treats: Host a summer get-together featuring peach-inspired dishes and drinks. Delight your guests by adding peaches to salsa, grilling peach skewers, and ANY peachy desserts. Whip up some refreshing peach sangria or peach & bourbon cocktails for the grown-ups. It’s a perfect way to enjoy a summer evening with friends and family.
As we soak up the warm midsummer, make the most of peach season on the farm. Enjoy peaches’ sweet, juicy goodness and create fun, memorable experiences with your loved ones.
Whether you’re savoring a peach right off the tree or turning it into a delicious dish, remember that these moments are what make life so wonderfully peachy.
See ya soon, down on the farm!
