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 use your peaches in a recipe at a later date, you'll need to know how to preserve them once they have ripened. We recommend freezing or canning your peaches so you can enjoy them long after peach season ends.

    • 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.

    • Drain all water from the peaches before freezing.

    • 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 should be kept at cool temperatures to ensure freshness.

    • Refrigerate upon arrival to extend shelf life up to 6 months or freeze for up to 2 years.

    • Can be thawed and refrozen repeatedly without losing flavor or texture.

    • Our resealable pecan bags are perfect for storing in the refrigerator or freezer to prevent "sweating" and absorption of other odors.
