August is National Peach Month!
Be sure to celebrate all month long.
Peaches—luscious, sweetly aromatic and delicious—are arguably the perfect fruit. It’s little wonder we use the word "peachy" to describe something being just right. Biting into a fresh, juicy peach is a wonderful way to revel in the delights of seasonal summer produce. The fresh fruit is also delicious in smoothies and atop cereal and crepes.
