Why Your Peaches Cost More This Year

Ever wonder why your favorite fruit is pricier lately? BC fruit farmers are having a rough time—crazy weather has wiped out entire crops, leaving some orchards totally bare. Imagine walking through your peach trees and finding nothing to pick! With less fruit to sell, farmers are racking up big debts, and some are even quitting. That means higher grocery bills for us, and less local fruit at the store. Tough times for farmers = sticker shock for shoppers. #Business #Industry #FoodPrices
