I have to agree with William, Canada has great peaches! I live in Calgary, so we get all of our peaches from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and they are amazing! I spend a lot of time in NYC and even in the gourmet grocery stores, their peaches don't come close. And if you are feeling really adventurous, there is a small family run farm in Okanagan Falls (Matheson's), and their peaches are like candy, I actually do a eight hour drive out every August for peaches just for canning (the Sunrise apples are really good as well, but they don't keep long), my family thinks I'm crazy, but they are pretty happy in the winter eating the peaches! Now, if only we could get King Arthur Flour here, with all the luggage restrictions, it's getting harder to bring flour home!
