The Peak of our Star Peach “Hakuho” is Finally Here! The Incredible Buzz at the JA Direct Sales Market & Hashimura Farms’ Dedication 🍑

 

Hi everyone! This is Hashimura Farms.

Right now, Momoyama-cho is in the middle of its most exciting and busiest season of the year! The JA Direct Sales Market (Special Sales Area), where freshly picked peaches from local farmers—including us—are gathered, has been absolutely buzzing every single day!

Weekdays, rainy days, you name it—it doesn’t matter. We are incredibly grateful to see so many customers, especially those who travel all the way from other prefectures, lining up to get their hands on our peaches.

😲 A 200-Person Queue from 6 AM! The Incredible Energy at the JA Market

  • Lining up from 6 AM?! Believe it or not, some early-bird customers arrive and start lining up around 6:00 AM! (Please note that sales don’t officially start until 9:00 AM.)

  • [Pro-Tip] About 90% of customers bring their own chairs! To make the long wait a bit more comfortable, about 90% of the people in line bring their own portable chairs. If you’re planning to visit, we highly recommend bringing a chair and making sure to stay hydrated to beat the heat!

  • An enormous crowd of over 200 people! On peak days, the queue easily stretches to over 200 people. The venue is always filled with smiles and vibrant energy as everyone waits to secure their allowed limit of one box per person.

  • Everyone’s after the budget-friendly “Wake-ari” (Imperfect) Peaches! The main attraction for many is the “Wake-ari” box (for home use), limited to one per customer. They might have minor blemishes or be slightly irregular in shape, but the taste is exactly the same as the top-tier brand “Arakawa no Momo”! Because you can get them at an amazing price, they are incredibly popular.

🍑 Finally, the Main Event! The “Hakuho” Harvest is at its Peak!

Thank you all for waiting! The harvest season for “Hakuho,” the most popular star variety representing “Arakawa no Momo,” has finally arrived!

  • Harvest Season: This precious window lasts less than a month, from early July to late July. We are right in the middle of the peak shipping season!

  • Characteristics of Hakuho: It features bursting juiciness, a melt-in-your-mouth soft texture, and a rich, elegant sweetness. We have so many loyal fans who say, “When it comes to peaches, it has to be Hakuho!”

✨ More delicious varieties will follow after Hakuho!

The “Arakawa no Momo” season doesn’t end with Hakuho! After this, our other proud varieties—which grow even sweeter and larger—will take turns in a delicious relay.

Look forward to varieties like Natsukko, Shimizu Hakuto, and Kawanakajima Hakuto, just to name a few. Every single one of them is packed with sweetness, incredibly satisfying to eat, and absolutely delicious. If you’re planning a visit to the market soon, you have so much to look forward to!

👨‍🌾 Driven by the Region’s Passion: The Hashimura Farms Commitment

Every time we see cars from other prefectures and meet the passionate customers waiting in line at the JA market, we get a huge burst of energy. It makes us think, “We’ve got to deliver even more delicious peaches!”

At our farm, drawing on nearly 50 years of experience spanning three generations, we grow safe and reliable peaches. We use eco-friendly and tree-friendly methods, such as pyroligneous acid (wood vinegar), while keeping pesticides and chemical fertilizers to an absolute minimum. We harvest them with love every day and deliver them straight to the JA.

We hope you eat your fill of this seasonal flavor that our hometown is so proud of! We are truly looking forward to welcoming you!
