The Best Peaches in The World

Ed and Melissa grew up in the same neighborhood.

Ed and Melissa had the same 4-H leader who taught them about rabbits.

Ed and Melissa did not meet and Ed went off to college.

Ed came home after college, wanting to do something with the farm and went to a class that educated future farmers. There she was, Ed and Melissa met and fell in love.

Now they are a married couple with an adorable son Russell and a precious daughter Lena living on a farm. Melissa went back to rabbits, from a serious exhibitor to a registrar and then reached the ultimate goal: an ARBA licensed judge. Ed is the "enabler", helps and supports Melissa's hobby of rabbits. Ed's hobby is to grow delicious fruit in the family farm and Melissa is the major helper.

When summer comes, Ed is the most popular person in the shows. Everyone wants to buy his delicious peaches, nectarines and apricots. In the third picture we see a full box of white peaches. Ed's white peaches are the best in the world. The next picture shows a "combo" box that has one layer of peaches at the bottom and on top is a layer of nectarines, apricots and pluots (cross of plum and apricot).

All their peaches are picked tree ripe; they have to be handled with care. The next two pictures show their help sorting the peaches into different grades. The peaches are then put into boxes; each box weighs about 20-22 pounds and Ed delivers them to the specialty shops all over the Bay Area.
