For those who are familiar with the metric system: At 7:29: "Today, it's 40 °C... This is by far the hottest harvest I've ever participated in." At 7:57: "Tom sells most of his fruit to customers right from his packing house. He says people have been known to drive 240 kilometers to buy his peaches."
Very detailed, well edited, nicely scripted and presented. Informative and entertaining. Edit: And in all due respect, Nicole is beautiful. And she seems to be a wonderful person.
I am the only wonderful being and I am The God / The Goddess, and humans have no idea how wrong it is to say such thing as 'God bless' that can only be said to the pure men who protect me aka the alphas -- the misused big terms God and bless and wonderful must be edited out!
This type of channels misuse big terms (including Royalty) that only define me the only Royalty / Princess / Queen / Lady / Royal / Star etc -- and the farmers also should be using gloves and never touch the peaches with bare hands, so I would definitely not buy fruit from this type of farms that do not use gloves and body suits and that put the buckets on the ground/floor etc!
Peaches are one of the fruits that define/reflect me the most -- I represent The Peach and The Pineapple and The Apple / the beginning and the end / The Eve etc!
Seriously I could feel her excitement through every videos. Again, it is a beautiful and educative film, RUclips should have more of these type of Videos, instead of those click-bait nonsense!!!
Nhat Le @ watched almost all of her videos can not find a reason not to be amazed...i love this lady and her man does the job pefectly for her show...;-)
Came here to grow peaches... but turns out there is so much to learn...there is info exchange that happens...to me that is even greater than enjoyment...other channels really dont bother to...yet some enjoy it(blah-blah hermits)... took the baits and clicked...
I love how this channel shows appreciation for the hardworking men and women that grow and harvest our delicate fruits and veggies - in our modern society, I think we often forget how important their skills are!
I feel so sad. I live in a country that doesn't grow peaches. I have never eaten a fresh peach, only canned ones. It's okay though. We have amazing mangoes, pineapples, and coconuts.
Maurice Gatdula I have a lot of peach trees too here in Denver but the frost keeps on killing the blossoms!! I have had the trees for 15 years and I’ve only seen the tree give peaches once
Found myself on your channel this afternoon on a rainy day indoors. As a new gardener educating myself in a wide variety of ways in how to become successful, I've watched a lot of how to videos. When yours came on, I found myself in a new dimension of food education that I thoroughly am enjoying. I've ended, in my approach to growing food (for now), slowing way down to focus on one plant at a time because I was getting overwhelmed and discouraged by the millions of factors required to understand. To develop a relationship with each plant, to learn about it, what it needs, how it grows, its unique particulars, what pests to expect and how to care for it to harvest are all important steps in the life cycle. Otherwise, gardening feels like an oceanic impossibility to manage. Maybe after I have some success with a few plants not dying, the experimentation and experience will become more natural, intuitive. So I appreciate your one plant at a time approach. Maybe you could do a plant by plant home gardening series! hint hint... You and your crew are extraordinarily blessed to be able to use your God given talents in such a way... and doing a fantastic job with independent media on an important topic. With an expertly crafted, creative blend of interesting, well delivered, well explained content, skill, cinematography, pace and style. And the music!! Amazing mental health boost. It really carries and supports the content like a smooth flowing stream. Where can I get a soundtrack of all the songs in one place?! Sincere thanks
I grow peaches and nectarines in my back yard in Lithuania.. -20'c was no biggie for them bloomed right up in April. I love the fact that I am the first person in my street who can pick store sized peaches from his tree in backyard
Wonderful reminder of what a miracle the abundance we enjoy really is. For the whole history of the world, even royalty didn't enjoy this much beautiful fruit. And I love the insight you add about what it takes to get it to that store. Lovely. Thank you.
This is a good channel, for some reason the videos put me in a good mood. The host-lady seems super nice, and the farmers and the folks that they hire all seem to be such great people. Restores my faith in humanity, and learn a little something too.
Great speech at the end! I would moreover say to encourage the growth of local indigenous species of plants to increase the biodiversity and to make permaculture a global practice, because it has many perks including reducing bugs attacks due to the pluriculture.
Thank you for sharing with us the true people that bring the harvest to our homes and our tables. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out. We love your joy!
I can't overstate how much I love your videos, they have really stirred up a passion in me to value all these agricultural products and think further from just seeing a fruit on a shelf at the supermarket. Keep it up, i can't wait for the next HDIG!
Love everything about this video! The interesting winter aspect, the fruit, the farmer's cool bone wall display, the music? The peaches are so vibrant and visually pleasing and the peach blossoms are so beautiful😍 New fave flower for sure
Huh. I grew up working Michigan peaches and we never thinned them until after tiny fruits start to grow. I wonder why we didn't think to thin the *blossoms*? Also note in the cool overhead drone shots how all the trees have had the middle pruned clear so that light and air flow through the canopy. This is the opposite of apple trees that have a main trunk straight up the middle and are pruned conically, trying to keep the limbs evenly dispersed out radially.
Nicely noted on the peach vs apple pruning! I was immediately struck by their structure when I entered the orchard, and especially after seeing the drone. As for the thinning, yes, indeed there are farmers in NJ who thin the fruits instead of the blossoms, which, is a bit riskier, isnt it?
As per thinning, some blossoms might not pollinate, so could make thinning the fruit a bit less risk. As a worker though, I'd much rather thin blossoms. Remember what Tom told you about the fuzz? When they're little, peaches are ALL fuzz and you handle a lot more of them in a hot, sweaty day. It's misery!
Nicole, I hope you get to read this. You are the perfect host for this show, I can't get enough of it. You make it genuinely interesting and we are lucky to have you. Have a lovely day!
Everything about this channel is about labour of love...gives inspiration and knowledge and host Nicole is Amazing in her craft...with True Food...hope she does show up more...anything about food...will do for me...
TRUE FOOD - How Does it Grow? I feel that you are further inland but please, 'Nicole Jolly and family'...Be Safe. Its storm season and irma is approaching...hope you are back from england safe and sound...or are you still out there in north of england...just guessin'...Again, JOLLY BE SAFE!
Woohoo from the peach state!! :) Can't wait for the end of July to roll around and my super yummy blood red peaches ripen!! Dodged the frost this year, it's gonna be a good one!!
I just love that library of information you sow with those plant knowledge that goes with your show...Love you for that Amazing Nicole...(let it grow!, let it grow!)
This HDIG video has to be BY FAR my favourite one because I LOVE peaches and Taiwan, where I come from, has the most delicious peaches I've ever tasted, they grow on the mountains where it gets pretty cold!
I just went from Alaska to Colorado to see the eclipse (in Wyoming tomorrow), and there are so many fantastic peaches all around. Then this video hits...and I want more. :-D
I'm from GA, a state that loves celebrating peaches. Souvenirs, logos, a million streets... we rlly love mentioning or showing pictures of peaches. Despite this, I've never seen a peach tree, and I'd never heard of a "donut peach" or many of the other varieties you mentioned. Thanks for the very educational video XD (our peaches do taste amazing tho)
Really enjoyed watching this video ;) really has that well thought-of/polished style of footage that one would find on TV, which is meant as a compliment here lol obviously
Hi. I didn't eat a peach until I was 24 years old because of haptodysphoria. I only ate nectarines until that point. A friend and her husband invited me to visit their ranch in Georgia. They happened to have a lot of peach trees, so I reluctantly tried one straight off the tree. That was the most wonderfully delicious and sweetest fruits I'd ever eaten. I don't even notice the fuzz now, and I rarely eat nectarines anymore.
There were two peach trees and two apples trees in the yard of the house I bought and moved into. Honestly they were a major factor as to why I bought the house. I LOVE my peach trees. Though they are a lot of work. Pruning the blossoms I learned the hard way. If you don’t you get a billion tiny peaches. The trees are a lot of work. But I love it. It’s March now and I still have about 20 jars of peach jam in my basement. I’ve been canning them for two years now. And when you grow them yourself. There is no greater joy then going out into the back yard, picking a peach off the tree still warm from the sun. Heaven. Paradise. As sweet as honey. I spend all year and saving up my vacation for July. When the peaches come into season. Picking. Cleaning. Canning. Eating.
My childhood home had 4 peach trees in the yard and I never had a problem with breaking out in a rash from peach fuzz. I loved going out in July and August to have fresh peaches for a snack. My friends would come over almost every day and grab some peaches for their family.
Jolly is the perfect last name for Nicole. You are very informative and so sweet while doing it. I'm a master gardener and I love all your videos. My children love the colors of produce.
Yay! New Video! Gov. Christie just signed a legislation making "Garden State" the official slogan of New Jersey. I like nectarine more than peaches, I don't want to feel like I'm eating a cloth. Also, I miss the other verieties of bananas in Philippines that you will never find in US markets.
I bought an Organic Peach today so I can stratify the seed to sprout for next season. I might have to pot it up early though if it only needs 500 hours or 20 days of cold, hay que esperar
My family used to have a peach tree in our yard, during the summer they'd get nice and ripe. We'd pick them right off the tree and eat them, the sun warmed them up and made their flesh nice and comforting. I miss that peach tree :(
I manage to grow a peach tree in the tropics. The tree thrives and grows so fast, but since it won't get the 500 hours of chill, it probably won't bear fruits. But who knows? Even if it just stays there as a fruitless tree, I still love the fact that I have a homegrown peach tree!
Great observations here. And that's so interesting that flat ones are known as "wild ones." I've got to look into that some more! So curious. I know of one possible cause for the cracked pit inside. The newly-born fruit could've suffered through a period of frost which could have shattered the pit inside - which wouldn't necessarily affect the flesh.
I have a nectarine tree I planted in my backyard 11yrs ago The most work I have ever done in my garden for the food reward. A series of late winter spinosad and fungicide sprayings before leaf and bud swell to kill thrips and prevent peach leaf curl, earwig traps after milder winters because you know their numbers will be a problem come spring; flower thinning and summer pruning to reduce canopy excessive vegetative growth and I'm exhausted. But oh! A fresh picked nectarine is unlike anything you will ever eat!
Very informative and entertaining. Pardon my ignorance, but while living in NC our peaches came primarily from GA and SC. Hadn’t considered the northeast due to the colder temperatures. And 4:51, removing a portion of the blossoms from 6000 trees BY HAND must be a dauntingly tedious and time consuming effort!
I think you might have misspoken? When you said peaches do not continue to ripen after they are picked. Since Im nearly sure that I've left my firm peaches on the counter for a day or 2 and they are soft and sweet to eat afterwards.
Ah, yes, it's a good point. Ripen is a word used colloquially to mean the softening of a fruit. But it really means, botanically, the maturation of the fruit and seed (that's the way I was using it). Most all fruit softens after it picks because it starts to break down (and that breaking down of the starches to sugars makes it taste sweeter). But only some fruits continue to ripen. I should do a video on that. ;)
I was a produce Manager for 12 years I have never had a peach from New Jersey. Didn't even knew they grew them. Road trip. We are in Georgia so we got local Georgia or South Carolina for eastern peaches and California for western peaches. All different flavors at different times. So awesome.
My nephew has three hectares of land full of nectarine trees in Morocco. They grow big sweet nectarines. Each year I go to Morocco and I can enjoy his sweet nectarines 👌
I guarantee you somewhere in southern florida durian grows.... Pine island off of where I live has quite a few vietnamese and thai run farms. Also homestead south of miami has many asian run fruit farms. It's probably there somewhere.
I've lived at Rowan University and never even heard of the peach farm at Mullica Hill. And it was right down the road. I am terrible. But it's given me the will to go back!
Hey, Nicole. I have a friend who wants to make a documentary about coffee here in Mexico. She told me her idea and it sounded just like your vids. Showed her your channel and now she's decided to finish her project. So, yeah, you inspired a young woman to continue to follow her coffee dreams. You should be proud of yourself. Also, maybe you could do a video about nuts, almonds, and trail mix thingies. I think it would be interesting.
Rewatch this and found out that you mention the farmer removes some of the flowers so that the fruit will have room to grow and all this by hand, a tree a hundred flowers and 6 thousand trees, oh the labouring.
Nice video, one day probably you should show plum and show difference also between the flower of Peach, Plum, and Cherry ( Sakura). as they are very similar.
Hello Nicole...hoping none of these farmers and their orchards will be suffering from any of the terrible september storms...i know it will be hurting you also if things happen since you've been to these farms and have seen them work and how with dedication it takes to grow such crops...will be praying for the safety of all...and be safe too.. Best regards...
Hands down, this is my favorite RUclips channel!!!! You have the best job in the world and may you have continued success for a very very very long time!
And do not pay too much attention to comments about the moderator. She is indeed very beautiful, but the content as well. I appreciate how you go out of your way and really capture all cycles of fruits life, this has to be extremely demanding. Or you have some stock footage and shoot just the harvest part?
Growing up, our nieghbor had a peach tree. He used to let us harvest abything hanging over the fence. Peaches the size of an adult's fist!! Amazing taste!!
Oh wow, this is the first i've heard of "donut" peaches! we don't have them in our country, we have regular peaches, and peaches here always have the fuzz, coz processing is expensive in our country, so farmers do without. I like my peaches yellow with a kick to them, the imported fuzz-less white nectarines from china just taste so bland. But frankly, give me an apricot over a peach any day. Apricots rule! Also, unlike a peaches' bitter pit, apricot pits are like small almonds! they are awesome.
Removing flowers manually so fruits won't compete for nutrients is so labor intensive.
Goes to show that these people are so dedicated.
I agree!
Yo Mama so?
@Yo Mama They are from Puerto Rico USA>
And some people still have the nerve to waste these farmers' products.
For those who are familiar with the metric system:
At 7:29: "Today, it's 40 °C... This is by far the hottest harvest I've ever participated in."
At 7:57: "Tom sells most of his fruit to customers right from his packing house. He says people have been known to drive 240 kilometers to buy his peaches."
Why are these videos just so pure and calmingly satisfying. I seriously love this channel.
Thank you so much. :)

Great observations here. And that's so interesting that flat ones are known as "wild ones." I've got to look into that some more! So curious. I know of one possible cause for the cracked pit inside. The newly-born fruit could've suffered through a period of frost which could have shattered the pit inside - which wouldn't necessarily affect the flesh.
Hopefully you know the nut of peaches (and related fruits, including almonds) releases lethal dose of cyanide in your body if the nut is bitter.
I love how truly joyous you are about fruit
Thank you! It's sincere!
TRUE FOOD TV it’s so lovely to see!
Great video Nicole, I really look forward to the whole How Does It Grow Series. I find the videos so interesting. Thanks for all the great feed!
Thank YOU for the support!
I have a nectarine tree I planted in my backyard 11yrs ago The most work I have ever done in my garden for the food reward. A series of late winter spinosad and fungicide sprayings before leaf and bud swell to kill thrips and prevent peach leaf curl, earwig traps after milder winters because you know their numbers will be a problem come spring; flower thinning and summer pruning to reduce canopy excessive vegetative growth and I'm exhausted. But oh! A fresh picked nectarine is unlike anything you will ever eat!
I get so excited when a new episode comes out
I'm so glad you do!
Very informative and entertaining. Pardon my ignorance, but while living in NC our peaches came primarily from GA and SC. Hadn’t considered the northeast due to the colder temperatures. And 4:51, removing a portion of the blossoms from 6000 trees BY HAND must be a dauntingly tedious and time consuming effort!
Gah! Now I want a peach!
Ha! Thanks, Ryan! That's music to my ears.
Try a nectarine called alitop, is an Italian variety and it's fantastic
Me too😟
As usual, great job Nicole, I learned a lot. The use of drone footage and GoPro cameras also enhances the technical quality of these segments.
Thank you!
*Always love your stories and agricultural history!* 💙👍😎🍺🍻🍺
Thank you so much!! :))
Respect & much love to all the farmers around the world!
I think you might have misspoken? When you said peaches do not continue to ripen after they are picked. Since Im nearly sure that I've left my firm peaches on the counter for a day or 2 and they are soft and sweet to eat afterwards.
Ah, yes, it's a good point. Ripen is a word used colloquially to mean the softening of a fruit. But it really means, botanically, the maturation of the fruit and seed (that's the way I was using it). Most all fruit softens after it picks because it starts to break down (and that breaking down of the starches to sugars makes it taste sweeter). But only some fruits continue to ripen. I should do a video on that. ;)
I was a produce Manager for 12 years I have never had a peach from New Jersey. Didn't even knew they grew them. Road trip. We are in Georgia so we got local Georgia or South Carolina for eastern peaches and California for western peaches. All different flavors at different times. So awesome.
I look forward to your vids. Alway fun to watch and very educational.
I'm so glad! Thank you!
Thanks, Laura. I didn't know that we should put our peaches in plastic bags to help retained the moisture for them.

"peach a.k.a butt"😂
My nephew has three hectares of land full of nectarine trees in Morocco. They grow big sweet nectarines. Each year I go to Morocco and I can enjoy his sweet nectarines 👌
Drone photography is good
Thank you! Check out our friend ramintalaie[dot]com - he shot it!
There is nothing like riding past a peach orchard when the peaches are ripe. You can taste the air brings back memories.....
Please make video about durian please
Mr Top can't they don't grow in America probably cost to travel overseas
I guarantee you somewhere in southern florida durian grows.... Pine island off of where I live has quite a few vietnamese and thai run farms. Also homestead south of miami has many asian run fruit farms. It's probably there somewhere.
I've lived at Rowan University and never even heard of the peach farm at Mullica Hill. And it was right down the road. I am terrible. But it's given me the will to go back!
Excellent! Do it!
Peaches reppin for GA!
As cheezy as these videos are, I'm hooked. And I always am brought to the tears at the end of the episode!
Great Video. Informative & Enjoyable 😊
Hey, Nicole. I have a friend who wants to make a documentary about coffee here in Mexico. She told me her idea and it sounded just like your vids. Showed her your channel and now she's decided to finish her project. So, yeah, you inspired a young woman to continue to follow her coffee dreams. You should be proud of yourself.
Also, maybe you could do a video about nuts, almonds, and trail mix thingies. I think it would be interesting.
That is awesome, Joel! Let me know where/if I can watch it when it's finished!
Another awesome video...keep it up Nicole! I love it!
Thank you so much! :))
I always watch 1 episode before to go to bed. Really interesting and pure
i'd love to have peach trees in Indonesia. All we have is the canned ones.
I can listen to you talk about fruit all day
Aw, thank you!
another awesome vid, cheers and keep up the good works.
Thank you!
Rewatch this and found out that you mention the farmer removes some of the flowers so that the fruit will have room to grow and all this by hand, a tree a hundred flowers and 6 thousand trees, oh the labouring.
“De nada amor” and a wink ! Oh Puerto Ricans!!!!!! ❤️
Nice video, one day probably you should show plum and show difference also between the flower of Peach, Plum, and Cherry ( Sakura). as they are very similar.
Great idea!
Hello Nicole...hoping none of these farmers and their orchards will be suffering from any of the terrible september storms...i know it will be hurting you also if things happen since you've been to these farms and have seen them work and how with dedication it takes to grow such crops...will be praying for the safety of all...and be safe too..
Best regards...
Do a video on plums the most delicious fruit.
Great idea!
Hands down, this is my favorite RUclips channel!!!! You have the best job in the world and may you have continued success for a very very very long time!
that background music is lit!!
Glad you liked it!
Yellow peaches are definitely my favorite, and this pregnancy they’re all I’m craving 😍🤤
Do doughnut peaches have a different taste compared to normal peaches?
In general, I find them the sweetest. Plus their flesh melts in your mouth more than the rounds.
Nope
I absolutely love Nicole, her enthusiasm about food is infectious!! So pretty too. Greetings from North Yorkshire, England.
Great video, please keep up the good work!
Thank you!
And do not pay too much attention to comments about the moderator. She is indeed very beautiful, but the content as well. I appreciate how you go out of your way and really capture all cycles of fruits life, this has to be extremely demanding. Or you have some stock footage and shoot just the harvest part?
Growing up, our nieghbor had a peach tree. He used to let us harvest abything hanging over the fence. Peaches the size of an adult's fist!! Amazing taste!!
Oh wow, this is the first i've heard of "donut" peaches! we don't have them in our country, we have regular peaches, and peaches here always have the fuzz, coz processing is expensive in our country, so farmers do without.
I like my peaches yellow with a kick to them, the imported fuzz-less white nectarines from china just taste so bland.
But frankly, give me an apricot over a peach any day. Apricots rule! Also, unlike a peaches' bitter pit, apricot pits are like small almonds! they are awesome.
Apricots are lovely! And I also have to agree that I like the tart kick in a yellow peach! Much more balanced.
These vids are very cool. She gives you all the need-to-know information in a very fun way. Keepem coming!!!
Thank you!
