*You may pick any variety at any time, however you may be disappointed if it has not fully ripened.  Color alone does not ensure ripeness!  Our suggestions are based on our daily orchard scouting and years of experience, but if you like how something tastes, pick away!
**All varieties are available at the Roadstand after their harvest date until we run out of stock.
