August 2nd, 2007 - Peaches update
Last Saturday, on the way back from The Red Radish, we stopped at a farm stand in Neenah for the advertised raspberries. Sadly, the season had ended, but the sign hadn’t been taken down. They did, however, have peaches from Michigan (which could be as little as 100 miles away, and close enough to local for us!). From the looks of them, I’d bet organic or nearly organic. And only $2/pound. Which I didn’t process quite right, so I only bought 10 pounds. At that price, I should have bought them all. Which I almost did, but then thought it was too expensive. But we’re only getting them at $1.89-1.99 at the store anyway.
Eric’s going back this Saturday to see if they have more.
I cut up about 30% for the freezer. I’ll probably dry some this weekend (Mom can help!) and maybe freeze some, too. That’s a lot of peaches for us to eat fresh.
