Mmmm... Palisade peaches are just starting to go off here. Combined with Olathe sweet corn it's hard to beat August in these parts.

This. I think it's the two best products to come out of Colorado.

I heard about some oysters from up in the mountains that are supposed to be pretty good also.

Rocky Ford cantaloupe is for real, so CO has 3 great things.

Plus taters and maybe barley could be added? Colorado baking tater is for sure damned good. Not sure how good the barley is, but beer guys sure use it.

Hermiston watermelons are simply the best

[mmmm...pow!]

I'll verify that Grand Junction/Palisade area has the best peaches anywhere hands down, used to regularly mow a flat or two between there and Tahoe. This coming from someone with Central Valley and Sierra Foothills peaches at the local farmers markets. No contest. Surprising second place goes to Reno - I used to just stroll around my neighborhood and pick them myself (with permission) in people's front yards. So good.
Also stoked on wild raspberries starting to go off, currants not far behind.

Yeah, I'm sure they are getting good in the foothills near here, but damn Oregon is blackberry heaven! Road tripped there during the eclipse last summer and was pulling over to fill up a tupperware container over and over.

Made a bunch yesterday and canned some as well. Love opening a jar of peaches in December.

Out west you could get $250+ for that box.

^^^ Utah peaches for sale at the local gas stations here in Montucky, generally 11-12 medium sized peaches is $ 10.00.

Worth every penny.

Exactly. Those are invasive weeds.

Well now, that's gonna depend on where you live. Here they die back in the winter. Seattle they can rival the tallest evergreen.

[JongDoe]

Wow, so many kinds of peaches. I thought peaches were just....peaches. I don;t think they specify in the supermarkets around here.

Veteran peaches are an especially good medium-sized canning peach. The skin is yellow with a red blush that can be slight to very intense.

My Veterans are still green, but I have a pretty good crop. Two more weeks I’d say.

Rode through the local orchard yesterday. My favorites are the Saturn peaches, sweet and delicious. They aren’t quite ripe yet. However the plums were good to go!
