Trivia Tuesday: Peach Season

Posted by Brenna Malmberg

Chiles Peach Orchard

Starting the school year off by picking peaches.

Trivia Tuesday is back. It's been forever, well at least since our move to California. But now we are back in Virginia, and I might as well get in the swing of things just like all these students around here. In honor of our weekend activity and the sweet fruit that grows here, I bring you peach trivia.

This past Sunday after church, we picked our very own peaches straight from the trees. Usually we miss the season, but with a week to spare, we venture to Chiles Peach Orchard. If that place sounds familiar, it's because we have picked apples and pumpkins there before. I'm not a peach fan, so I'll be awaiting our orchard trip when apples rippen around the valley.
