Have you had any REALLY good peaches in the past week or two? If so, where did you find them?

I am visiting this weekend.* I grew up in the area, but I am now a couple of decades removed. When I was a kid, my family used to pinpoint whoever had great peaches at any point during the summer-- whether a specific farm, farm stand, a guy selling out of the back of his truck, etc. Where I live now, you technically can grow peaches, but they don't hold a candle to upstate SC peaches. So I am taking a load back with me to share with friends.

So if you've had any particularly good peaches in the past week or two, where did you find them? Which farm, which market, what variety, which random guy on the side of the road, etc. Any specifics are welcome! I'll pursue all of them, haha!

*I inquired this time last year, and y'all delivered. Looking forward to what you know this year, as I know crops can vary from year to year.

I acknowledge that maybe it's still too early in the season-- I u-picked some rather bland strawberries at my usual go-to farm this past week, and that was a bummer.

Do any area farms have particularly good ones this year? Will take any info and recommendations!
