For vegans and people that can't have dairy, knock yourself out.

I will not use this. I can't see how this is more environmentally friendly to produce, but to each their own

You gonna get some peach trees? Hard for me to grow here organicly, big learning curve, but I'm learning... Totally worth it though. Especially when I crack open a jar of home canned peach halves and place them over cottage cheese and pour some of the canned syrup over top

There are literally hundreds of different varieties of peaches and new ones coming out all the time. These are late season o'henry peaches on lovell rootstock. O'henry Is a freestone uniquely flavourful delicious peach.

More info on o'henry peach

O'Henry Peach

O'Henry peach is a very large, yellow, freestone peach with red skin, firm flesh and superb flavor. The O'Henry peach was a winner in Sunset Magazine taste tests. O'henry peaches are strong, vigorous, heavy bearing trees. One constant at our nursery is calls from customers in late summer...

If you get a early, mid and late season varieties you'll be in peaches for a big part of the growing season.

We aren't big peach eaters. I love them, but can only eat them sparingly. Local orchards seem to get buds frozen out every year or so. My favorite are white havens (my paternal grandfather taught me well). I will make the wife some peach cobbler once or twice each summer
I browsed the link you posted. Very cool varieties

Now today I'm going to cook the hamburger, sausage for the lasagna FH is making tomorrow plus I'm going to make individual Pumpkin Pies, individual Dutch Apple Pies and prep the Lil Smokies (get them wrapped with bacon) along with doing laundry.

@Country homesteader lotsa work there!! Nice job, looks great. I could eat some of that with my coffee this morn!

A warm 60 out, with rain. Been over 24 hr of wet coming down I'm over it! Looks like it won't move out until after lunch. Totally blew 2 days of outside work away. Sooooo

the tropical forest destruction to grow palm oil or palm kernel oil are rather horrible and i won't buy stuff that has those oils in it. chocolate and coffee at least can be grown in ways which include diversity but i'm not sure the mass producers of any of these mostly focus on that, but i'd welcome any steps people make to restore diversity.
