Orchard Update – June 21, 2026

As we wrap up another busy week at the orchard, we wanted to start by wishing a very Happy Father's Day to two special members of the Novakovich family: Dan and Kevin Novakovich.

Dan is the proud father of Emily and Kevin, and this year was especially meaningful for Kevin as he celebrated his very first Father's Day with his son, Cameron, who was born last July. We are incredibly grateful for everything these two men do for our family, our orchard, and our community. We look forward to celebrating them—and many more Father's Days together—for years to come.

Apricot Season Has Come to an End

The 2026 Blenheim apricot season has officially concluded. We want to thank everyone who stopped by the fruit stand, placed orders, and shared in another wonderful apricot harvest with us. At this point, all of our remaining apricots are being dedicated to drying and jam production, which means we no longer have fresh apricots available for sale.

While we're sad to see another apricot season come to a close, we're already hard at work preserving the harvest so you can continue to enjoy the taste of Blenheim apricots throughout the year.

Peach Season Is Here!

With apricot season behind us, we're heading full speed into peach season.

Currently available in the fruit stand:

• Red Haven Yellow Freestone Peaches

• Fay Elberta Yellow Freestone Peaches

• White Babcock Freestone Peaches

This is just the beginning of the season, and we expect to have a rotating selection of peach varieties available through early August. Be sure to stop by often, as different varieties will ripen throughout the coming weeks.

Nectarine Season Is Just Beginning

Nectarines are also starting to arrive at the fruit stand! Their season is just getting underway, and we expect to have nectarines available through early August as well. If you're a fan of sweet, juicy summer fruit, now is the perfect time to start keeping an eye on our weekly updates.
