We have been harvesting Professor Black peaches almost every day and probably this week will see the end. The fruit generally speaking has been good but the degrade much higher following the recent excessive heat.
What Gay and I have done with this fruit is to prepare pulp for our jam and freeze for the short term whilst we concentrate on making peach slices poached in apple juice and a limited amount of peach halves. This process also continues each day until all has been done.
Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 January we have our annual organic and Global Gap inspection. Our inspector flies down from Pretoria, we then go to Valley Packers to audit the packing, cold storage and shipment processes and then come to the farm. He inspects all our stores and processes and then we spend the rest of the time in the offices going through all that we have done in the last 12months and what we envisage to do in the coming 12 months. Prior to the visit all our paperwork and numerous support documents have to be collated and put in order. A rather laborious but necessary task for you to have the assurance that we have done what we say we have done.
