Spring and summer are like a movie on Frog Hollow Farm – as their varieties begin to ripen, a new storyline unfolds. This week, things continue to be interesting with Santa Rosa Plums, the first classic plum of the summer. Sweet, tart Santa Rosa plums are ripe and ready – this is another incredibly good-tasting variety that has been abandoned by conventional producers, but can be found at Frog Hollow Farm.Famed California horticulturist Luther Burbank bred this plum at his Santa Rosa plant research center and named it after its birthplace. The Santa Rosa has a red skin and purple bloom. Its amber flesh turns red as it ripens. They are candy-sweet and perfectly balanced by their mild tart skin.
This is an excellent plum for eating out of hand . . . just be sure to grab a napkin. They make delicious jam and jelly, too.
The Santa Rosa plum is too fragile to survive the supermarket gauntlet, but are picked and shipped with special care to Frog Hollow customers. Classic fruits like Santa Rosa plums are plentiful at Frog Hollow Farm.
Ripening behind the scenes are the Jade nectarines – they're getting close to ripe, but still need a bit more time. Jade is a white nectarine, and it’s the first nectarine of the season. People love Jade for its juicy sweetness, and there is no fuzz to worry about. These aren't large fruits—they run small to medium—but their excellent flavor and juiciness make up for all that.
Fresh ripe nectarines are a perfect spring-summer treat, and Frog Hollow Farm's nectarines are known far and wide for their legendary juiciness and flavor. The season is short and they sell out quickly, so customers should pre-order.
