The Backyard Farmer's prices are very comparable, usually run about %15 higher.

I wonder if you have come across the idea of eating the apricot seeds. I find is so sad when people don't realize all the great nutrients found in the seeds of fruit such as apricots, peaches, and apples. People just aren't aware that you can actually eat that. But if you truly want to "waste not" try eating the nutrient packed kernels or incorporate them (they're bitter) into jams or baked goods. Why miss out?Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12624378355501153897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549939437126288282.post-5293203174402965362010-06-22T18:27:35.762-07:002010-06-22T18:27:35.762-07:00i am so sad i missed out on this! the one weekend ...i am so sad i missed out on this! the one weekend we're out of town...<br /><br />i'm crossing my fingers for the peaches too!<br /><br />i haven't ordered from the Backyard Farmer but i hope to be able to soon.kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01036681846580798894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549939437126288282.post-4767613750093459392010-06-22T17:36:15.489-07:002010-06-22T17:36:15.489-07:00Add me to your local finds emails, please!!
