What am I doing wrong...? You're probably buying Mexican peaches. Best peaches I've ever had are Palisade peaches in Colorado |

ripe peaches have a very short shelf life ...
there is a lot of fruit that is sold while still green ...
I just don't buy it ...

Some varieties stay crispy and drier than others. They have a better shelf life so stores carry them more.

I would guess that peaches are like oranges, the best eating ones are not worth a crap to ship.

Buy a tree and grow your own if you like peaches a lot. Plus the deer will probably come by and eat a bunch. win win! I hate store-bought peaches because they are picked green usually due to the short shelf life. I heard storing them in paper bags after purchase makes them better. I just quit buying them. I think my next purchase for the yard will be a peach tree in the spring.

Roadside stands in South Carolina are the best peaches in the southeast. Picked ripe and fresh from the fields. You can see them picking in the field from where you're buying.

Roadside stands are the best source of all produce.
I only wish they had peach stands near us.
Nothing is tastier than tree ripened peaches.
Mmmnnn 😋

Our Florida peaches have a shelf life of hours and not days. Pickem and eatem. When traveling we do hit the road side stands in the peach state and SC. If a peach is hard to the touch, it’s not even close to being ripe.

There's nothing better than eating a warm peach at a roadside stand, juice dripping off your chin and washing it down with a shot of good corn likker.

I had one for the first time last week and it was by far the best peach I've ever had. I have one in my lunch today. |

we used to buy three bushels of You-Pick-Em peaches and my mother would peel, pit, slice and then freeze them.
we ate those instead of popsicles during the long hot summers ...
she also made some fried pies from the ones she didn't freeze ... best ones I've ever had
