Double J Orchards Organic U Pick

I was visiting Paonia for a conference that was going on and some friends told me to be sure to try Paonia peaches because «they are the BEST.» As I was driving through town, I saw Double J’s signs for «pick your own peaches.» I followed the signs a very short distance from the main part of town which included some well maintained gravel/​dirt roads. My old ’97 sedan was just fine.;)
At the orchard I was greeted by the owner, Jamie Jacobson who was such a genuinely nice man. He’s very kind and personable. I got a handful of peaches and yes, they were THE BEST peaches I’ve ever had! So incredibly sweet and juicy that one bite had juice rolling down the sides of my mouth. I shared some with some fellow travelers and they agreed that they were Exceptional.
You’ve got to try THESE peaches! I heard Palisade peaches were good and bought those as well but these were much better. I even bought peaches that came from Hotchkiss (a nearby town) and also from the Paonia market. Double J’s peaches were still wayyy better! There’s a big difference between eating store ripened fruit versus tree-​ripe fruit like at Jamie’s orchard. I highly recommend Jamie’s tree-​ripe fruit!
The whole experience and interaction w Jamie was positive and now I plan to get peaches from Double J Orchards whenever I’m in the area. It’s one of those things that are so good that you dream about going back for more.:)
