Summer peach cobbler with Capay Valley stone fruit, biscuit topping and vanilla ice cream. The August dessert of Sacramento's Capay Valley farm-to-fork rooms.

The Capay Valley west of Sacramento has been California's leading organic stone-fruit growing region since the 1970s, when Capay Organic and Farm Fresh To You established the valley as the Sacramento Valley's organic farming center. Sacramento's farm-to-fork rooms switch their dessert menu to Capay peach cobbler each August when the Suncrest, O'Henry and Elberta varieties peak. The biscuit-topped cobbler is the home version, with a butter and buttermilk biscuit dropped onto sugared peaches and baked until the juices bubble through. Magpie, Bacon & Butter and Selland's all run a version each August.
