i consider that a possible explanation. i know that eastern peaches i can buy here are magnificent but california peaches are literally inedible. but it is entirely possible that a california peach picked in season in california is really quite good.
you cannot get good produce from the supermarket, even if it is local/regional. the answer is to go buy from privateers who drive their trucks out to the wholesale houses in immokalee or homestead and then go sell it in some parking lot. i wish i'd have the opportunity to buy peaches from the grove in california to see if it is just california fruit that is bad or it is the process of bringing it to me that is bad. but i don't. so i avoid all california produce.
