LYF Peaches 2025 UPDATE 8/13/25 PM

Good evening loyal peach customers;

After multiple conversations with the orchard today and to ensure the best quality fruit, in the best condition to us, we are regrettably moving our peach distribution date out 1 week to AUGUST 23.

They were unable to fulfill our full order with the current picking orchard and will be switching to a newly ripened orchard next week, which allows everyone to receive the freshest, packed peaches available.

We understand this is never ideal for anyone and will raise issues for some, but when dealing with any farm fresh produce we have to go with the ebbs and flows of nature.  They assure us that they are having a wonderful growing season, but the timeline is slightly different than previous years.

We sincerely thank you for your understanding and continued support and we will be ready to go on the 23rd.

We will not be able to send another mailing out in this timeframe, but in the next 48 hours we will do our absolute best to contact everyone by phone in addition to this email and our social media platforms. 

Unless you need to make other arrangements for the 23rd, we would appreciate limiting email traffic to those inquiries.  If you are reading this your order has been confirmed.

Feel free to spread the word with your fellow peach purchasers.  Have a wonderful weekend and we will see you a week from Saturday.

God Bless,

Our Redeemer LYF and ORLC Peach Committee

 

Proper Peach Care - from the orchard

Tree ripe peaches are extremely perishable and deserve special attention when it comes to care.  Our peaches should arrive in your hands at varying degrees of ripeness.  In a typical box, a few will be very ripe and will be partially bruised from the journey.  These are probably the best peaches in the box and should be consumed immediately either over a sink or outside to avoid the sticky mess resulting from the juiciness!  Here are a few recommendations that will allow you to get the most satisfaction from our peaches:

The most important thing you can do is sort your peaches and remove the foam divider as soon as you get them home.

  • When you first get your box of peaches, sort them as soon as possible to remove the ripest ones.  This is a simple process. Remove the lid and survey the top layer for peaches that are bruising; remove those to a convenient place for expedient consumption. Gently feel the rest of the top layer for other soft peaches immediately ready to eat.  Separate the ones that are immediately ready to eat from those that are firmer on the top layer.
  • Remove the foam separator between the top and bottom layer and repeat the above actions with the second layer.
  • Then, REFRIGERATE softer peaches if they will not be consumed right away.  Leave the firmer ones out at room temperature to soften up; once these peaches soften, they should be refrigerated as well to reduce the chance of spoilage.         As with any fruit, please wash before consuming.  Enjoy!
