The basterd fired me for taking off a Sunday to get married (to a stripper..Don't try that at home kids) Can you believe 35¢ per cheated pound back then? I learned a lot about produce that summer..
Anyway this will probably be a good summer for them...even Ohio gets peaches shipped north..They should start showing up in stores fairy soon since the growing/harvest season is from around June 1st through August..
I live in Tennessee. We see a lot of Georgia peaches sold byt the side of the road. Some of them probably come from South Carolina, but everyone expects peaches to come from Georgia so they are all called "Georgia peaches".
