(We're sorry peaches & blueberries not available for U-Pick.)

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Jenn Halsey Dupree.  I am the youngest in our family.  My main contribution to our business is growing the peaches along with growing the pumpkins and apples.  I became interested in farming, and growing fruit specifically, when I was in high school working with my dad on the farm.  I decided to go to college to study Pomology, which is the study of growing and marketing of fruit.  I attended Cornell University and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in the spring of 1997.  Also in the Spring of that year I planted my first peach trees.  I planted five different yellow fleshed varieties, 450 trees in all.  I chose to plant them in a new training system, which is called the Perpendicular "V" system.  The trees are five feet apart and each tree has two main scaffold branches forming the shape of a “V.”  With this new system I intend to keep the trees small even though they are not on dwarfing rootstocks like our apples. In the spring of 1999 I planted 750 new trees, both yellow and white fleshed peaches.  In 2002 I planted two new early varieties, so that we can harvest and enjoy peaches in late July and early August.  In 2004 I planted the famous "Donut" peaches.  They are a white fleshed peach that is flat and shaped like a donut.  I have fourteen different varieties at this point.  In the spring of 2001 I added 160 cherry trees to my orchard.
