I stopped at a farmer's market today and there were 6 peaches in a small basket marked "South Carolina peaches."

I am in Maryland so our peaches will not be ready until the end of July and through August so these were evidently shipped in.

When I saw the peaches were marked as being $10 for 6, I almost fell over.  I am assuming they are putting the price of shipping  but I cannot imagine most will be paying that much.

Hopefully, I will able to buy some when the Maryland crop is in.

My sister who lives in SC would say. Well slap my butt with butter and call me a biscuit. No Ma'am, wouldn't pay that price for peaches

They were $1.98 a pound yesterday in Phx.

I live in Georgia and have always heard of "Georgia Peaches". I have no idea what they taste like. I've seen peaches but they take so long to ripe. WHY?

Most of the time I would buy them and then forget that I have them.

@Meowingkitty Fry's has them for $.87 a pound this week.

I wanted to buy 4 buns for a cookout. I found a package no price on shelf went to register they were 8 dollars!  I did not buy them. They were brioche buns but geez that's ridiculous. I would have passed on the peaches also.

@godi   Wow!  I guess this is how things are going to be going forward with the cost of fuel so high.

Retailers will try to put it in with the cost of items.

Oh my, I love peaches but that price.......😳😳

I am waiting for the Eckert tree ripened peaches grown in Belleville Illinois.  I sure hope they remain affordable.....🤞🤞🤞
