They are so good right now I eat 2 or 3 a day. But a few weeks from now they will be gone and I will have another 11 month wait to get them again.

We have the best fresh peaches of the year here right now. I have been experimenting with some of the new inexpensive vacuum bags with very encouraging results. I quickly learned that the battery powered vacuum is worthless but a hand pump is available for 1/4 the cost.

And when the in-season bounty comes on the prices are unbeatable. Right now, corn is really in season. It is so good, you don't even have to cook it. And really inexpensive.

There is no comparison between farmers market produce and typical grocery store options. The pricing is usually better too but the quality is what is important.
