Lori Anne Peaches
Sweet, juicy, & fragrant
Sweet, juicy, & fragrant
“There’s a real art to handling a Lori Anne peach,” says Chalmers Carr, owner of Titan Farms. These fragrant, flavorful freestone peaches are left on the trees to ripen much longer than most, so they’re tender and incredibly juicy when picked. “That’s why they have to be handled with such tender loving care,” says Lori Anne Carr, co-owner and the peach’s namesake.
We’ve been carrying Lori Anne peaches since 2013, and they’re now our #1 peach in the month of July. Every summer, Titan Farms sends us over 2.5 million Lori Anne peaches. “Many folks thank us for bringing back their childhood peach,” says Lori Anne.
“I promise you a great peach.”

The dozen varieties of Lori Anne peaches share a distinct flavor profile. “These are old-fashioned, delicious peaches,” says Chalmers. “They’ve got the perfect balance of sweetness and just that little ‘twang’ of tartness,” Lori Anne says, “and they’re dripping with juiciness!”
Harvest methods for these South Carolina treasures are completely different than for conventional peaches. Ripe Lori Anne peaches are hand-picked directly into small totes, not machine-harvested into huge bins, then sized and delicately packed in single layers for shipment.
Peaches ordered on a Monday are harvested and packed that day, shipped on Tuesday. When they arrive at Wegmans 3-4 times a week, they’re only been off the tree for 3-4 days.
“I promise you a great peach,” says Chalmers.
