No ... seriously, it really was! This past Sunday, Bruce and I went to a little wingding for a good friend of ours who was having one of those Big birthdays!
This guy has been crazy about peaches since he was just a little kid. In fact he just completed a cholesterol lowering diet where he ate oatmeal with peaches on top for six months. SIX months!!!
So his wife figured she'd whip him up a peachy birthday bash out in the country at a Pick-Your-Own Peach Farm. It was a wonderful day, we all relaxed after she put us to work picking our own juicy party favors ... a basket of the freshest, most aromatic peaches ever!

| Belgian Peche Beer |
Next she served us up ice cold bottles of something called Lambic Belgian Peche, which translates into a pretty darn good peach beer. We had a nice meal and finished everything off with an amazing cheesecake. Yes, of course it was peach!
After that we took a tour around the place. Only one couple had been to a peach orchard before. They grew up in the South. The rest of us were all transplants.
So assuming you've probably never been to a Peach Party, come along for a quick tour of your own . . .

| The original peach stand is right off the road. Reminded me of Route 66 back in the day. |

| Our own basket wasn't quite so full, but looked just as delicious! |

| These were picked pretty clean before we arrived. Never knew peach trees were so low & bushy |

| Mother Nature's perfect peach ... almost looks artificial! |

The Farm also lets you pick your own blueberries and blackberries.

That sounds like some event! About an hour down the road there is a small agricultural town that has the pick your own peaches, corn, tomatoes and so on. They sent out a notice not long ago saying the weather we had earlier cost them most of their peach crop so they were bringing in several tons of peaches from a small farm in California for their Peach Festival. Interesting.
Looks like a beautiful place! Where is it? Around here, there is a vineyard called Southwind and they make a lovely Peach wine.
peach party, that's a new one...very strange though pepper on oatmeal and peaches.
Ah! I will look at all those peaches and have a mango! And I'll try not to think of peaches!:((
What a fun and unique get-together at a beautiful spot! You won't find too many peach parties here in NH! Your pictures are awesome. Another enjoyable post.
What a fun theme that is perfect for this time of year. I have never had Peach Wine, I might have to try that. Have you every had Wheach Beer? It is Wheat + Peach. O'fallon Brewery makes it here in St. Louis. If you like bluemoon, but not the after taste, you should try it!
Great photos! What a great idea for a party. My.mouth.is.watering.now!
What a creative idea for a party! It looks like a beautiful place.
whoa, pepper on peaches? am I missing something? btw, your photos are always fantastic!
I love fun-themed events. Looks like it was a blast!
Looks like a lovely party. Personally I hate beer and can't wrap my head around peach in beer LOL but I bet it was a lovely time!
Wow! Very nice place to set and relax there. Yummy fruit but not the black peppers on the oatmeal lol
How cool is that! Great idea. I love peaches. My Aunt and Uncle had a small peach orchard. I used to love going over there and being able to pick the fruit right from the tree.
Wow! Looks like it was fun!

WOW! That looks like a lot of fun. It's 87 degrees here and we haven't even hit the high for today (of 92 degrees) so I must say that the peach beer looks WONDERFUL!
Sounds like a great event! I may just steal some of the ideas for a friend's upcoming birthday bash!
