The orchards where I grew up had incredible peaches, and I still miss them. Hell, I miss the whole road side stand thing, where someone picked the corn/tomatos/peaches/etc. that morning, and leaves them out with price signs and an old jar to put your payment in.

Some of the best peaches I've had was when I lived in Atlanta. For some reason, they're just not as good up North. Maybe it's just a sentimental thing. The most incredible ice-cream I ever had was a peach ice-cream, hand made by my then economics professor with local peaches so ripe they were practically half-way decomposed. Man, I still salivate a little whenever I think about that ice-cream. When I was younger, I was more into nectarines, but things have changed lately. I've been eating way more peaches than nectarines this year. Maybe my teeth have lost their strength.

Oh man, fresh peach ice cream. Yeah, hard to beat. There's a touristy "you pick" farm/orchard about a two hour drive from my current place. My wife wants to go there about every two years, no matter how often I tell her how when I was growing up, we thought city folk like that were nuts. But they do have the best peach ice cream made right at the serving stand.

We still have those around Indiana. Whenever we go to our lake house, we drive around the countryside for a while. It's mostly full of Amish people and other country folks with great produce. They just set it all out on a stand and leave a locked box for money, and trust you to put the money in. Good stuff.

oof, I miss it too, but fortunately there are a bunch of farms near my parents' lake house upstate that produce some of the best corn, tomatoes, and strawberries I've ever had.

great peaches were always harder to come by :-(

One of the best parts of the Georgia back roads this time of year are the fruit stands with the fresh peaches. My summer ritual has become a basket of peaches and a new jar of mayhaw jelly from the fruit stand out in the country.
