Editor’s note: A good reason to buy local and support local growers!
A hot and rainy July has left Berks County crops looking good and tasting great.
“They’ve been beautiful,” Carolyn Preston said Friday of the 25 varieties of peaches she grows at her South Heidelberg Township orchard. “I’ve been selling out within hours.”
Peaches are picked and sold daily at Preston Orchards, 168 Preston Road, and are never put in cold storage so they don’t lose flavor, she said.
“We’ve been getting the best of both worlds,” she said of the heat and rain. “The apples are looking good, too.”
