Twin Peaks Orchards
White Nectarines (half flat)
$29
Unit price perTwin Peaks Orchards is a 102-acre certified organic farm in Newcastle, CA, in the Sierra foothills — founded in 1912 by the Nakae family and now in its fifth generation, run by Camelia Enriquez Miller and her husband Justin. They grow 40 varieties of nectarine, all hand-picked and tree-ripened. The vineyard-quality soil, rolling hills, and hot days with cool nights of the Newcastle foothills create fruit that is rich in sugar and full of flavor. White nectarines are smooth-skinned, lower in acid than their yellow counterparts, and intensely floral — with a honeyed sweetness that makes them one of the most prized stone fruits of summer.
This half flat is approximately 4.5 lbs. Because these are harvested to order and ripened naturally on the tree, nectarine size varies week to week — expect anywhere from 13 to 16 nectarines per half flat.
For the best eating experience, leave them on the counter for 1–2 days to finish ripening. Because fully ripe white nectarines bruise very easily, they must be harvested just before peak ripeness — a delicate balance that rewards a little patience. Stone fruit season is short — enjoy them while they last.
Order early this weekend for a full view of next week’s harvest.
