The crap peaches here were from NORTH carolina!
Unfortunately, grocery distribution systems don't care if the crap they
sell is any good. The bean counters only look at "shrink" and
margins. Any peach worth eating will have some bruising, but the bean
counters can;t have that. On occasion, if you deal in good peaches,
you will get some that don't keep well and have to be thrown out. The
grocery mentality can't handle that.
The problem is really not the source, but the grocery mentality. I
just wanted to razz y'all NORTH and SOUTH Carolinians!
If you find a grocery store that has GOOD peaches, you have found a GOOD
produce manager and a good store system that lets the store buy peaches
and other perishables directly from the grower/trucker. The BAD/normal
system forces them to buy the warehouse crap, and there is never a good
peach that goes through the grocery warehouse.

The peaches here have been absolutely fantastic this year! NORTH
Carolina. ;<)
In years past, though, I have bought some (usually at Sam's) that have
been worthless - hard, tasteless, etc. Musta been from CA or
somewhere else foreign. 'Have been especially careful this year not
to waste my money on that crap.
