Isom’s Orchard

I brought peaches last Friday. It was my mistake and brought then in June and not in July. They where the worst peaches I have ever brought. Soft, tasted bad and would not release from the seed. Lesson learned. I called the main office and basically told I cut them wrong and it was my problem. I brought 10 – 15 baskets last year. I will now seek a new vendor for peaches. Very disappointed with their main office.

Craving fresh fruit after a day of yak’g on the lake? Come here!
We saw this on the way home from kayaking last Friday late afternoon. I recalled some friends raving about their recent visit, then popped out the cell and saw the tips and pix on Unilocal by familiar Unilocal buddies. So I quickly had hubby make a u-​turn specifically for the peaches. Boy!, Isom’s did not disappoint! There were fresh fruits (peaches, apples, asian apples, watermelons, etc) and vegetables (okra, squash, tomatoes, potatoes, etc) bagged and/​or in baskets ready to take home. Workers were friendly, except for one who kept their straight face and an eye on me whenever I reached to touch something. I laughed it off. Anywhoooo. Freshly picked ginormous peaches were available for $ 15 per basket. The regular/​small size peaches were $ 10. The nearby sign said not to squeeze the peaches, but how else does one know they’re good w/​o getting to touch and taste them? There was nothing sliced out to taste either. So I picked up a few big peaches, smelled their sweetness, and squeezed ‘em just a little. 8) They were hairy, but firm and aromatically sweet. Although I didn’t expect to pay $ 15, we dished it anyways and it was so worth it! Came home and quickly weighed the basket of beauties and they totaled 10 lbs. 3 oz. in the basket. Each peach eaten so far has been mesmerizingly sweet and deEeEeEelicious, and still maintaining their firmness. Definitely 5-​star babies! We’ll be back for more fresh peaches soon!
