I think you are right here, they are always available in New Jersey but not
often here. I remember buying them on the way back from trips to the ocean.
My thought is that these truly awful peaches, thought quite beautiful, are
varieties that ship well and therefore are grown for commerce purposes as are
other fruits and vegetables. They look good and you buy them. Then you put
them in the garbage. Perhaps a generation will grow up hating peaches as
these are so unpleasant to eat.
Someone has directed me to a local farm which promises by a sign that that do
not grow these peaches so I will have to take a bit of drive to find them. It
would be south of me as peaches do not often fruit where I live, in fact it
would be something of an event. There is one cultivar rated for cold zones
but seldom fruits, though survives.
