Black Bear Peaches
Best Peaches Ever!
Why our peaches are the best...
Black Bear Peaches brings you fresh, ripe, sweet, juicy peaches straight from the orchard. Palisade is a unique micro-climate with hot days and cool nights. It brings out more sweetness and flavor in fruit and is perfect for growing these amazing peaches. They are very carefully grown and harvested by hand at Black Bear Orchards at the peak of ripeness. The soil they are grown in is treated with natural composts that are pH balanced to improve tree health in alkaline soil. These are not your average peaches!
Pre-ordering your peaches: fill out the order form and you will receive an email within 24 hours. Hopefully sooner, but it's just me, so please be patient :). Indicate the number of each type of box you would like, which shipment Friday you will be picking them up, and at which location. If you would like to order for multiple Friday's, simply check multiple shipment dates. Keep in mind this will give you the same order each Friday you select. If you want a different order, please fill out a separate form for each weekend. If you can't pick up on Friday between 11am-7pm and need to meet me on Saturday or Sunday at the Farmer's Market, please leave me a note in the comments section, and I will contact you. As soon as we reach our maximum amount of orders for each shipment date, I will remove it from the order form, and update our Facebook & Instagram. If you live in Park City, and need to meet us on Wednesday in PC, please select the Salt Lake tent location and leave a note in the comments section. Contact us with any questions. :)
"Runner Ups" are just peaches that don't quite meet our premium 1st place standards. They are usually smaller, sometimes with imperfections and blemishes, but are very tasty. They are a great economical option for canning/freezing, cooking/baking and dehydrating.
The 2019 pre-order season is over.

Peach Care Tips...
Black Bear Orchards has very high standards to produce the best peaches. Here are some tips from the orchard.
Tree ripe peaches are extremely perishable and deserve special attention when it comes to caring. Our peaches should arrive in your hands at varying degrees of ripeness. In a typical box, a few will be very ripe and will be partially bruised from the journey. These are probably the best peaches in the box and should be consumed immediately either over a sink or outside to avoid the sticky mess resulting from the juiciness! Here are a few recommendations that will allow you to get the most satisfaction from our peaches.
The most important thing you can do is sort your peaches and remove the foam divider as soon as you get them home.
When you first get your box of peaches, sort them as soon as possible to remove the ripest ones. This is a simple process. Remove the lid and survey the top layer for peaches that are bruising; remove those to a convenient place for expedient consumption. Gently feel the rest of the top layer for other soft peaches immediately ready to eat. Separate the ones that are immediately ready to eat from those that are firmer on the top layer.
Remove the foam divider between the top and bottom layer and repeat the above actions with the second layer.
Then, REFRIGERATE softer peaches if they will not be consumed right away. Leave the firmer ones out at room temperature to soften up; once these peaches soften, they should be refrigerated as well to reduce the chance of spoilage.
We bring several varieties to you throughout the season including Newhaven, Redhaven, Glohaven, Red Globe, Suncrest, Glowing Star, Cresthaven, Blake, and Angelus. They are all non-GMO, and we also offer a USDA Certified Organic option.
