The Oldmixon Free peach has a long history in the United States.  Sir John Oldmixon, the peach’s namesake, first planted the variety in New York around 1817.  Throughout the 1800s, the Oldmixon Free played a significant role in the American economy.  Currently, it is one of the few peach varieties from this era that is still available.

The Oldmixon Free peach is a large, round, freestone peach that has white flesh with marbled red streaks.  It bursts with a vanilla flavor and a hint of sugary mint.  The meat is delicate with a tart finish.
