Description:

It is rare that a farmer feels so strongly about his fruit that he is compelled to write a book about it. It is also rare that said book would receive literary praise for its lyrical style and compelling subject. And it is nearly as rare to eat a peach with the juicy, sweet flavor of a Masumoto Family Farm Sun Crest Peach. So rare, in fact, that the Sun Crest peach was the first California produce item to be selected by Slow Food for its Ark of Taste. Here’ s an excerpt from Mas’ s book, Epitaph to a Peach: “Sun Crest tastes like a peach is supposed to. As with many of the older varieties, the flesh is so juicy that it oozes down your chin. The nectar explodes in your mouth and the fragrance enchants your nose, a natural perfume that can never be captured.” Here’ s what Slow Food’ s Ark of Taste web page says about the Sun Crest: ” A large, freestone peach grown in the San Joaquin Valley. Has a bright-red blush over yellow skin with excellent taste. Because of its fragility and difficulty in shipping, distributors and retailers are unwilling to handle the fruit. Very high risk because the market is limited to farmers’ markets and roadside stands.” The Masumoto family is hand-selecting and hand-packing the very best of their crop exclusively for FreshPoint. Availability is very limited, and the season is short, so don’ t let this opportunity slip by. Eat a Sun Crest. By the book. Your palate and your spirit will reap the benefits.
