Market report

There is nothing quite like the taste of a perfectly ripe peach — the flavor is well worth the sticky chin and hands. Head out to Green Bluff this weekend, next weekend and even the first Saturday and Sunday in September for a taste as the growers celebrate with their annual Peach Festival. You’ll find U-pick and picked peaches, take-and- bake pies, peach ice cream and more. Pick up a map from any of the Green Bluff growers or find one online at www.greenbluffgrowers.com.

Farmers’ markets in the area are also reporting peaches and nectarines and a long list of peak of season fare. You’ll find early apples and pears and a limited number of vine ripened tomatoes.
