My favorite peaches are from Gettysburg the second week in August. Naturally that is pretty north for peaches.

all the common grocery stores are fully stocked in the hot-lanta area. prices vary by store, and also by size & flavor. like apples, there's tons of varieties now. about 2.00 lb i'm thinking.

20 years ago we would visit my uncle north of Spokane. I distinctly remember buying a bushel with my grandparents in middle of August. Drive back to Kansas just in time for school to start. 2 1/2 days of driving and I put a dent on those delicious peaches in the backseat.
Couple years ago our neighbor brought us a half bushel from Pennsylvania. Biggest peaches is ever seen. This too was in August. Weighed them and they averaged 15 ounces each. Delicious.
Orchards in SW Missouri have them for sale right now. I need to buy some.

I don't think I've ever had a good peach, plum, apricot, kiwi.... fruit in Alaska. As a kid in CA we used to drive to the central valley and get fresh fruit from the farm produce stands. No comparison.

Great to add to Waldorf salad. I used smoked chicken breasts, and the preached really blend the flavor.

A good indicator is if there are all kinds of male peaches that you haven't seen before hanging around your place.
