typically around here in the Peach State, the best comes from the tree already "ripe." that is, hand picked, put in the bucket, then straight home.
but, that's not how most are mkted. they go to the grocery store first, then rang up with the rest of the groceries.
they are "ripe" at the farm, and are shipped. some varieties hold up in shipping better than others.

So do they pick them early like tomatoes/and they get ripe? Cause they ain't right.... Those at the farmers market were most likely picked sometime in the week days before the weekend. But there were several verities availability. White, yellows, and other specialties.

Right now in Kalifornia. Neighbor across the street has a orchard at his ranch. Brought us over several of boxes full of ripe now peaches and nectarines yesterday. Called lots of family to come get them. Emptied out the freezer and stuffed them all inside for an hour to cool them off. Last family member left at 10pm last night. Could have thought I was running a crack house with all the traffic yesterday evening.

Tarry- Nectarines are similar and for some reason ripen normally here. Not the rot before they ripen situation of peaches.

Peaches should be sampled off the tree. When they are good then picked.

Not the rot before they ripen situation of peaches. down here in the high humidity south, a lot of fungicide spraying is necessary to get the peaches to a ripened condition before rotting. and usually the trees are sprayed a time or two before they leaf out. peaches have become a high maintenance kind of crop, at least around here.

Donut peach. Correct on both accounts. Ate some many of the damn things in the last three weeks I feel like the Giant Peach in that kids story of the same name.
