THE FOLLOWING IS A VERMILION COUNTY FARM BUREAU RELEASE
There’s nothing better than a fresh peach. And Vermilion County Farm Bureau is again taking orders for fresh Southern Illinois peaches this year.
Orders are for a half-bushel (25 pounds) box of freshly picked peaches. Cost for the peaches is $35 per box for Vermilion County Farm Bureau ‘M’ or A+ members, $37 for A members, or $44 for non-members.
The Farm Bureau is once again getting the peaches from Flamm Orchards in Cobden, IL – a sixth-generation farm. This program connects our members with the grower of the fresh peaches.
The peaches will be a free-stone peach, and will be available for pickup at the Vermilion County Farm Bureau office in early- to mid-August. Those ordering peaches will be notified of the exact pickup date.
Orders and payment are due Friday, July 29, and should be mailed to Vermilion County Farm Bureau, 1905-C U.S. Route 150, Danville, IL 61832. You can also download an order form from their website – www.vcfb.info.
