REEDLEY, CA - Late season August–September yellow peaches are on the brain for Family Tree Farms. With this coveted crop still making its way to store shelves, I got in touch with Leighton Dill, Marketing Manager.

“Family Tree Farms will maintain a supply of late-season yellow peaches through the end of October, contingent upon weather conditions and harvest yields,” Leighton began telling me. “This season, we are experiencing a bountiful harvest of yellow peaches. Despite overall market pressures affecting yellow peaches, we continue to offer strong volume and quality, ensuring a consistent supply.”

As Leighton explained, retailers can boost sales by cross-merchandising yellow peaches with ingredients for pies, cobblers, or grilling. Promote these juicy, nutritious peaches for enjoying fresh, baking into desserts, or grilling for a sweet twist. Eye-catching signage, samples, and summer-to-fall recipes can attract customers and highlight the peaches’ quality and versatility.
