Sweet and tangy with a smooth, golden-yellow skin, the yellow nectarine's juicy flesh offers a refreshing burst of flavor, and is packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Enjoy it fresh or use it in a variety of culinary creations. Nectarines are almost genetically identical to peaches, just without the fuzzy skin! Garnish a fava bean hummus; combine with yogurt for breakfast; make a blueberry nectarine cobbler.

Beechwood Orchards is a fifth generation, family-owned farm specializing in various tree fruits that has been operating in Adams County for over a century. The farm is currently being run by David and Tammy Garretson. In 2005 they were joined by their son, Shawn Garretson, after he graduated from Penn State with a degree in Horticulture. Last year Melissa Allen, their daughter, returned to the farm. She brought her two small daughters Isabelle (3 years) and Cammy (20 months) who have already begun to show an interest in agriculture.
