It’s transition time. Not just because August 1st signifies the shift from summer to school, but also because tomorrow is the first day of National Peach Month. This means we only have 31 days to honor this sweet fruit that makes up so many of our favorite summer snacks. Whether it be yogurts, smoothies, or ice cream, there’s no denying that August presents the perfect weather to enjoy this fuzzy delicacy.
