Jan's Corner Market: peaches


Back in Jan's Strawberries, U.S. 70 east of Smithfield, I posted how much I enjoyed the strawberries there. Now, every two weeks or so, I go to church down in Goldsboro, and the last two times, I've stopped at Jans' Corner Market and picked up peaches from their orchards.

Both times, they weren't quite ripe enough to eat that day, but the next day and for a few afterwards, they are excellent.

The fellow behind the counter says they'll have peaches until October, since every ten days or so, some of the fruit is ready for picking. No pick your own, unfortunately. Too much damamge was done to the trees when they permitted that.
