We’re Peach People
If there’s one thing we’ve learned on the journey to find the perfect peach, it's that it takes a team to achieve true greatness. So, for the coveted celebration of Peach-O-Rama, we’ve partnered with folks who are just as passionate about creating something special as we are.
Lateral Roots Farm
Wapato, Washington
Located in the lower Yakima Valley and home to the famous Pence peaches, the folks at Lateral Roots Farm go the extra mile in handling their fruit. The weather here is, well, peach-perfect, with slightly warmer temperatures than the surrounding area thanks to the nearby river pass in the mountains called Union Gap.
Frog Hollow Farm
Brentwood, California
Al Courchese, better known as Farmer Al, planted his first peach orchard on his farm in 1976. It wasn’t much later that he decided to go organic and became a major player in the organic farming movement. Frog Hollow Farm is committed to sustainable farming practices —ensuring that no piece of produce goes to waste and that the land is cared for in an environmentally conscious way.
Valicoff Family Farms
Wapato, Washington
The Valicoff family has been growing fruit in the Yakima Valley for over 100 years. They’re located in the same town as Lateral Roots Farm, so they benefit from similarly rich growing conditions. Another perk to having two growers from this region? There’s plenty of overlap with the varieties that they cultivate, so you’ll see even more of your favorite local peaches in store!
Douglas Fruit
Pasco, Washington
The Douglas family started their farm four generations ago, and today, their fruit is just as delicious as ever. They’ve perfected the art of growing the perfect peach in Eastern Washington, where long, hot, summer days build up the fruit’s sugars and cool nights bring out beautiful vibrant hues. These growers go above and beyond to make sure their fruit stays consistent in quality and flavor—a difference you can taste in every bite.
