take $5 for if you aren't worried much about how they look! WooHoo! She just
kept adding to the box from little piles of culls here and there until the
tomato box was full! There was only one peach in the whole box that needed
to be pitched and most only had a slight bruise here and there. Put up 7
quarts of slices in ultra-light syrup, made a cobbler to feed 20+ and still
have enough peaches to make a couple runs of jam.

I wish we had a local produce stand. The ones nearby buy their produce at the Houston Farmers Market and you never know from whence it came.
I can occasionally do what you did at the local Kroger, the produce manager there is a long-time friend. When he starts culling fruit from the market he calls me. I find the Chilean fruit is best as compared to some of the US fruit that is offered.
