Outlook Peachy for Maryland's Peach Crop

*jazz lady* ^(Premo) · 07-11-2003, 02:06 PM

It's peach-pickin' time in some parts of Maryland, and the crop is expected to be large.

The U.S. Agriculture Department says Maryland growers will harvest 10.5 million pounds of peaches this year. That's a 50 percent increase from last year's drought-shriveled crop.

Growers in Montgomery and Cecil county report that early varieties are now available.

Further west, growers in the Catoctin Mountain fruit belt say it'll be a few more weeks before their peaches are ripe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where's the best place in Southern Maryland to get some local peaches?

We went to Cherry Hill in Clinton last year to pick peaches and raspberries last summer ... canned and froze some and also made peach butter and raspberry jam too ... was yummy

If you go, be sure to sit on a rocker on the market's porch and have an ice cream ... delish... they make it there

We plan on going again this summer

I bet they weren't as sweet as a true peach.

Don't worry Main, I caught the reference!

As soon as I can. I might just take a 3 day and go. I am dreadfully homesick, and I was last down in January!
