Too bad Murray doesn’t come to Torrance :frowning: I want more cherries!

Picked up some yellow peaches and rainier cherries for my mom from Rieger Farms.

Just based on samples (although I did purchase some today, too)…

The Flavorosa pluots at Arnett seem pretty good.

G Farms white and yellow peaches were tasty. I had a yellow cherry, which seemed a bit flavorless (get some red ones instead, which I hadn’t sampled). Person working at G Farms said we are in the middle of cherry season.

Strawberries (I’m blanking on the vendor name but it’s the one just north of Gaytan at the Brentwood FM) were quite sweet (not Harry’s Berries level, but close enough for my purposes). Varietal wasn’t listed.

(Addendum: I think the strawberries were from Ayala Farms!)

Maras available at Harry’s and quite good. There are a few melons at Weiser but I didn’t get any.

Grabbed a couple melons today. Will let you know when I crack them open.

Also, I talked to a few farmers today and the season is 2-3 weeks ahead of schedule due to warming, which means I’ll get my hands on my favorite peaches even sooner.

Damn you Weiser for not coming to Torrance any more!

This probably is not very convenient for you, but Weiser has a farm stand at Row DTLA on Thursdays and Saturdays: Weiser Family Farms

Yellow peaches (not sure of specific varietal) from Regier’s this wk seemed pretty peak, IMHO.

White peaches not quite there yet (although I always thought white peaches were in season earlier than are yellow ones?).

If peach season is peaking in the third week of May, who knows anything?

There were two kinds on Wednesday. I went with fiesta gem (recommended by staff) and it was really good.
