Fruit Focus: Stone Fruit

 

 

Stone fruit is at its sweetest and juiciest right now, picked at peak ripeness for maximum flavor. August is the final stretch of peak season for peaches, nectarines, and plums.

Retail Display & Sampling Ideas

  • Mix multiple colors and varieties
  • Use basket or crate-style displays for a farm-fresh feel.

Cross-Merchandising Opportunities

  • Pair with ice cream, whipped cream, yogurt, or granola.
  • Cross-promote with baking ingredients (pie crusts, brown sugar, cinnamon).
  • Suggest savory pairings like grilled peaches with chicken or pork.
