Michigan Red Haven Peaches are Here

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.

Peaches are an important part of Michigan’s agricultural economy. Michigan ranks sixth in the nation for peach production. Over 430 fruit raising farms form the Michigan peach industry, which contributes over $11 million to the state’s economy. Peaches are rich in potassium, a vital element for both healthy blood and bones.

Other areas of the country may grow more of this fruit than we do here, but nothing compares with the flavor of Michigan peaches. We even have customers from Wisconsin who trek across the U.P. every year to stock up on Michigan Red Havens. The “First of the Season” Red Haven Peaches just came into our stores today. Look for the best tasting peaches thru August.

Select Michigan-grown peaches. They're good for you,
our growers and the economy.
