FRESNO, CA - I look forward to the domestic stonefruit season all year long, so naturally I was thrilled to hear from Trinity Fruit Company’s Angela Hernandez that the grower is finishing its stonefruit season with a bang!

“It has been a very bountiful year, with the suppleness to keep produce departments stocked and consumers' bellies full!” Angela, Director of Marketing, told me. “We have a good amount of varieties, one being our proprietary variety, Sunset. This late peach variety is one of the best eating peaches with its bespoke flavor.”

The yellow peach has a red exterior skin like a sunset, with a sweet, juicy bite.

“Being able to offer summer fruit late in the season is a great offering in the grocery stores as shoppers LOVE summer fruit,” Angela added. “Given that most of these seasonal varieties are harvested once a year, this allows retailers to carry summer fruit for a longer duration of time.”

I know that late-season varieties mean back-to-school promotions. Who wouldn’t want peaches in their lunchbox?
