There's nothing better than biting into a perfectly ripe peach! Watch these helpful ripening tips and tricks so you’re ready when your first farm-fresh box arrives.

  • TIPS FOR FREEZING PEACHES

    If you are planning to cook or bake a recipe with your peaches at a later date, you'll need to know how to preserve your peaches once they have ripened. View our below for the best tips for freezing your peaches.

    • Peaches should be soft & ripe before freezing.

    • Peel & slice peaches into a bowl of water mixed with a citric acid powder, making sure to cover the peach slices with the water solution. This will keep peaches from turning brown when they are thawed.

    • Drain all water from the peaches before freezing.

    • Sugar may be added to the peaches at this point, if desired.

    • Pack peaches in freezer bags about ¾ full.

    • Flatten bags and freeze.

Caring For Your Pecans

Many of our customers have requested information on how to properly store pecans. Pecans have a high oil content, as such they are prone to spoilage, or rancidity over time if not stored properly. Toasted and candied pecans are even more prone to rancidity as they have been subjected to very high temperatures in the cooking process. In-shell pecans as a rule will last longer than any of the above.

  • How to Properly Store Pecans

    • Pecans kept at room temperature in a sealed airtight container will last up to 45 days.

    • Refrigerate your pecans to extend the freshness for 9-10 months.

    • When frozen in an airtight container, pecans can last up to 2 years.

    • Store alone. Pecans have a high oil content and the tendency to absorb odors when stored with other items.
