Porter peach orchard says hail storm damaged crop

"Hello All Porter Peach Fans,

It is with great sadness that we announce we are going to have another significant loss in our peach crop. We do not know the exact numbers, but we hope to have more than last year. On May 5th we had a severe hail storm blow through. The storm knocked off many peaches, and some of the peaches the hail didn’t knock off were damaged.

On a good note, our first day open will be Friday June 17th from 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. We will have some peaches (Mostly Desiree, Spring Prince, and Caro Red), blackberries, fresh produce, Porter Peach Jar Products, and other yummy goods.

We will have half bushels of #2 peaches, and ¼ peck, ½ peck, and 8-quart boxes of #1 peaches. #1 peaches are your “pretty” peaches. #2 peaches are your pie, jam, and cobbler peaches. #1s and #2s taste exactly the same, one is just prettier than the other.

We will keep everyone up to date here on Facebook throughout the season with peach availability and store hours, so make sure to like and follow our page.

Please call 918-483-2102 with any questions. Thank you"
