I'm a midwest yankee from Michigan and Michigan is a great state for fruit!! Traverse City area is the worlds largest cherry producer and in the area where I grew up ( eastern side of the state along Lake Huron and Lake St Claire)we had large commerical apple and peach orchards. My father had honeybees and we would place hives in these orchards to help with pollunation. Romeo Michigan has a big peach fesitval every August. I know from my experience getting the peaches (or any fruit) fresh from the tree and local grower is always better tasting. The fruit in the supermarket has to be picked sooo early to get it to the market before it spoils makes the end products not as tastey.
