Dale Graff's Produce for 8/18

Hi,

Here is what I will have available for delivery on Saturday, August 18. I highly recommend the Red Gold nectarines and both the Roza Hale and Suncrest peaches for fresh eating and canning. Organic nectarines and peaches are also available again this week.

Regarding last week's security/privacy question - thanks to everyone who responded. I had many excellent suggestions but what is going to work best for me is to keep on doing what I have been doing. If you want to be known by an alias to protect your identity, please let me know.

Order deadline will be 5:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Thanks,

Dale Graff
