As mentioned by director of operations, Victor Martino, "it takes good fruit to make good dried fruit." When we harvest peaches and nectarines we don't pick all the fruit on a tree at once, we only pick the good ripe fruit. We will come back to a tree many times before all the fruit is picked.

|
Because we grow our own fruit, we can control the quality of our dried fruit from the time the tree is planted up to the time the fruit is shipped to your door. |
|
The peaches and nectarines are taken to be cut by hand and laid face up on trays. |

Here you can see how our peaches and nectarines dry in the sun. |
|
Our organic fruit is dried in a dehydrator. Dehydrating organic fruit reduces the amount of time it can oxidize. Oxidation will remove fruit's color, taste, and nutrients. Dehydration is a quicker drying process that will better preserve the nutrients and flavor in organic fruit and keep it healthier. |
