August is National Peach Month
August 1st
Celebrate National Peach Month all August long by enjoying ripe, sweet peaches at their summer best. Eat them fresh as a healthy snack, blend them into a smoothie, bake them into a pie, or throw them on the grill alongside your favorite BBQ. What’s your favorite way to enjoy a peach?
The peach’s story stretches all the way back to 6000 B.C. in ancient China, where it was a luxury reserved for the emperor and royalty. Over the centuries, peaches
traveled the world through trade and gifts, arriving on American shores in the 1500s. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan declared August as National Peach Month — making it the sweetest 31 days of the year. One fun fact: there are over 2,000 varieties of peach
worldwide, each distinct in size, shape, color, and taste.
August is Peach Month, the perfect time to enjoy fresh, juicy peaches. Pair them with grilled ribeye steaks for a delicious blend of smoky, savory, and sweet flavors that’s perfect for any summer meal. Try this peachy recipe.
