Best Place to Pick a Peach

Feel the juice run down your chin as you bite into the best peaches in the Bay Area at Andy's Orchard, one of the premier purveyors of rare stone fruit around. This Morgan Hill farm offers 61 varieties of the very products that earned Santa Clara County the title Valley of the Heart's Delight. Attend the summer tastings and walk the orchards, bucket in hand, with owner Andy Mariani to learn about his many varieties of fruit. (JF)


2007 Best of Silicon Valley Staff Pick

Best Better Than Sex Shop

Dear Andy: Every winter, we find ourselves longing for your sweet, sumptuous apricots and plums, to caress your soft, round peaches and lick away the juices from your many varieties of nectarines. Mother Nature may keep us apart temporarily, but come June we will once again be reunited, and oh, it will feel so good.
