A reminder to foodies and peach lovers, food historian Judith Krall-Russo presents “Peachy Keen in New Jersey” at the Hunterdon County Library, Rt. 12, Flemington on Wednesday, August 11 at 7:00 pm.

A juicy sun-kissed peach captures the flavor of summer and is one of the most popular fruits of the season. A native of China, the peach was first introduced to the New World by Spanish explorers in 1571. By the 1600’s peaches had become an important crop in New Jersey. This is the time of year when local orchards are bursting with juicy, ripe peaches. Come and spend a relaxing evening and learn the history and folklore of this New Jersey summertime favorite.
