The Grind: Palouse Peach by Palouse Farms

Alright, folks. Welcome back to The Grind, currently floating above a field of wildflowers on a gentle summer breeze. That’s right, Summer has arrived folks, and I have the perfect strain to celebrate (my personal favorite any time of year!), Palouse Peach.

Palouse Farms, a Tier 1 producer located in Spangle, Washington (Spokane County), only produce a single strain: Palouse Peach. While they have expanded into various forms from flower to concentrate to kief and beyond, this signature strain has been perfected by this family-owned and operated farm. An excellent article, found here, from last summer gives great background on the farm and the strain.

But our mission is neither a history lesson, nor an agricultural one. We want to know how it tastes and smells, but most importantly, how it makes you feel. So without any further dilly-dallying, our 20th strain review, my all-time favorite strain, Palouse Peach.

I’m a spoiled smoker. I know it. But I can’t help myself. I love gorgeous looking nugs with beautiful coloring and expert trimming. I want to smoke weed grown by passionate and hardworking people who love what they do. And, perhaps most importantly, when I find a strain that fits all that criteria I expect consistent quality.

With Palouse Peach, I get all of that and more.

Every bud is a vibrant, spring green with shocks of orange hairs exploding throughout. Loaded with kiefy-crystal goodness, the nugs are not just trimmed but manicured with Edward Scissorhands-esque precision. No junk, just bud. And with a medium density it’s easy to break up by hand.

Now, the first thing I do with any fresh sack, and I know I’m not alone, I take a great big sniff. With Palouse Peach, often I can smell the sweet peachy, skunky aroma before I even open the bag. And let me tell you, folks, it isn’t just a hint of peach. It is full on dozing-in-the-summer-sun-on-a-blanket-in-a-peach-orchard. But it doesn’t stop with the scent. The taste of peach is almost as powerful as the scent and you can taste it all the way through the bowl.

With a very smooth inhale and exhale, high potency and transporting peachy taste and smell, is it any wonder that this strain also provides a euphoric, energetic high that is great for the lightweights and the heavy hitters? With a quick set-in and a long-lasting high this is a great before-work strain. As an every-morning smoker (y’all wouldn’t wanna see me unmedicated!!), this strain is a frequent purchase in my household and will continue to be my favorite strain for years to come!
