Woah! No love for the Georgia peach! I have lived in north or central Georgia for my entire life, and I've got to say, if you have never had a good Georgia peach then you must be living under a rock! If you drive down any Interstate in Georgia, particularly I-75 around the Macon area, you will find numerous signs hand painted with the magical words "Peaches Next Exit". There are tons of local farmers who grow peaches, and you can find their on almost every moderately suburban/rural street corner. There is nothing better than a juicy Georgia peach! I know for a fact that Publixes in the metro Atlanta area were recently selling peaches from a great little place called Lane Packing (in Byron, Georgia) for only $1.25 / lb.... about 75 cents cheaper than the California variety. I look forward to summer produce, especially peaches and Vidalia onions, every year here in Georgia! Give it some love!
