Peaches 101 with Chris Eckert
Arch Eats
<p>It’s peak peach season in St. Louis, and who better to talk about this most glorious of summertime fruits than our area’s very own peach expert, Chris Eckert? Hot on the heels of <a href="https://eckerts.com/" rel="nofollow">Eckert’s Farm</a>’s record peach crop, the seventh-generation southern Illinois farmer dishes about all things peach, including his favorite ways to enjoy the fruit, fun facts, and why some of the old wive’s tales you’ve heard about ripening are actually myths. Tune in for a taste of summer.</p>
