More tips: your first u-pick visit.
How to pick like a pro
- Is it ripe?
Peaches are ready when the background color has no green and the fruit gives slightly near the stem. Sweet cherries should be fully colored and firm; taste one.
- How to pick
Roll peaches off in your palm; do not squeeze. Pick cherries with the stem attached, pulling the stem, not the fruit.
- Best time to go
Morning, before the fruit gets warm. Cherry seasons can be only two or three weeks, so check picking reports.
- Keep it fresh
Ripen firm peaches on the counter, stem side down, then refrigerate. Refrigerate cherries unwashed.
