At Rudy’s Happy Patch Market, staff are always looking for different varieties of fruits, vegetables, and decorative plants. They like to surprise customers with new inventory, and the increasing number of hybrid fruits are helping make that possible.

Recently the market received a delivery of outstanding peaches. Peer clerk Brian Thomas notes, “These are the largest peaches we have had this year. I hope that customers will come and enjoy the sweetness of this fruit,”

Given how much everyone loves summer peaches, we think Brian’s wish will be granted!

Lots of folks enjoy peaches year-round, with winter days made brighter by peach pies and cobblers. But our vote is to enjoy them in the heart of summer as a sweet, cool addition to any picnic table.
