A farm up in the Capay Valley, northwest of Sac, throws an annual Peach Party to celebrate their harvest. What a Party!
Some cool, old farm equipment
A neighbor grows dates (a wonder what an aquifer can produce)
An apple at the front of the home
Ripe in a couple of months
There were so many flowers
Zinnia
And bees (echinacea)
Wisteria
Sunflowers
The star: Peaches
They had peach pizza
Surprisingly good
And peach salsa
They showed us how to make apple juice
Grind them up
And press
Fun for the kids
But unpasteurised
Peaches drying
Coated in their own sugar
So many pits
Amaranth grew as a weed here
Pomegranate
Lots of citrus, this is a pummelo
Squashes
Green beans
Grapes
old artichokes
Peaches
From the aquifer
Not quite ripe pears
Persimmons
Apricots
This is one of the peach trees, they let them start rotting and they came back very well, while providing all kinds of new habitats for the local wildlife, a tenant of this organic farm
