First 1962 Peaches Hit Stonewall Market
The first 1962 peaches arrived at Stonewall's Wayside Inn, with George Vogel delivering four half bushels of Mayflower peaches. Tourists inquired about ripe fruit as the sales began, and some purchased a half bushel at a premium. Vogel and Harvey Eckert leased the nearby Klier orchard, which spans 85 to 90 acres, and a two week window is set for peach shed operations. Despite March freezes lowering expectations, many Stonewall growers anticipate 70 to 80 percent of normal yield.
