Red Haven Peaches: Ripe for Picking and Canning
Red Haven peaches
RED HAVEN PEACHES: Red Haven is the all-time favorite of peach lovers for both canning and eating fresh. They are freestone, which means that the fruit comes free from the stone when peeled. Other areas of the country may grow more peaches than we do, but Michigan peaches are renowned for their rich flavor and juiciness.

So that’s why I sleep so much better in Michigan than in Virginia. I thought it was the cool air and lake breeze, but maybe it’s all those cherries I eat!
