Peach Picking

Late summer is when one of our favorite fruits is in season - peaches!  Chiles Peach Orchard in Crozet has tons of trees with different varieties of peaches, so we took a drive today to see what we could find.  The weather was ridiculously hot, but we were nearly the only ones out and it was breezy in the shade of the trees.
Right away Evan found the yummy ripe peaches.  He decided it was best to test the merchandise before buying, so he promptly ate a whole peach right there in the orchard - simply devoured it!  Since it was so good, we filled a whole bag to take home.
Chiles also makes everything peach: peach donuts, peach ice cream, peach cobbler mix, and peach juice.  We had some of each, and it was simply delicious.  We're looking forward to the rest of the summer filled with peaches!
