When we get down to southern Ontario in peach season I eat as many as I can get my hands on. We have a farmer's market that started 10 years ago and a fruit farmer from Beamsville comes up with peaches, cherries, plums, etc. The first year was fabulous, nice ripe peaches. Then he realized he could sell ones that looked ripe but weren't and could be transported with much less waste due to bruising, etc. And people would still buy them. And that was the last of the ripe, juicy, delicious peaches, and I no longer buy them. At least, not in this city.
