Dale Graff August 24th

Hi,

Here is my daughter, Jessica, hard at work recording orders.  She enjoyed meeting many of you last Saturday and is looking forward to going on the road again with me some time in the future.

My favorite fresh eating peach - the Zee Lady - is available this week.  I haven't been able to offer it for the past couple of years.  I recommend it very highly.  It is medium size and has a "melt in your mouth" texture.  It has a rather thin skin so is kind of difficult to peel for canning.

Elberta peaches are early this year.  The first of the crop is available this week.  I will be able to get them for a couple more weeks.

There will likely be 2 trucks on delivery this week so it would be helpful if you clarify your delivery location when you order so we don't make any mistakes with that.

Here is what is available for delivery on Saturday, Aug. 24.   
  
Order deadline will be 5:00 Thursday, August 22.

Thanks,
Dale Graff
