At Hill Top Acres we focus on Certified Organic Produce with a local emphasis.
This fruit is not organic, rather it is from a local Niagara farm who practices sustainable agriculture (SA) and have been open and transparent to any questions we have had.
Palentine vine ripens the fruit for us and it never goes through a fungus bath, which every peach you buy in the grocery store or farmers market has unless they state otherwise.
Why do we offer this fruit, if it is not organic? Because it has been the best quality for fresh local Ontario peaches, apricots and cherries that we can find to date.
Please do not hesitate to contact Palentine farms for more information on their farming practices. I have found them to be extremely gracious to answer questions.
