Most peaches are grown in the southwest corner of the state, and we are fortunate to have fresh peaches available from July to late September. In 2006, Michigan produced 18,700 tons of peaches valued at over $13,000,000.

Michigan's "Red Haven" peaches are famous throughout the country and have become the most widely planted variety in the world.  Michigan ranks fourth in the nation in peach production.

Peaches can be eaten right off the tree, or they can be made into pies or cobbler, or used as ice cream toppings. When shopping for peaches, be sure to look for fruit that is free from bruises and decay, and be sure they have that wonderful "peach" smell. Peaches should not be too soft or overripe.
