Over the course of our peach season (June-August) we bring many different varieties of Georgia peaches from Pearson Farm. Each variety harvests for roughly a week, so each time you purchase you’ll most likely be trying a different variety. However, they are all freestone varieties with a yellow flesh.
What is a freestone? It all has to do with how easily the peach flesh separates from the pit (stone). A clingstone peach "clings" to the pit. These varieties, while tasty, are tougher to eat and work with. In Georgia, they harvest clingstone peaches in May.
Once we get to mid-June, freestone peaches begin harvesting and we start delivering them to the Midwest. They are called freestone because the pit (stone) freely separates from the peach flesh. They're easy to freeze, can, or eat. We only deliver freestone peaches!
