The Best Peaches in America

You can get them fresh picked in the flesh, as it were, every Saturday morning at the Ferry Plaza Market in San Francisco.

They're from Frog Hollow Farm.

Al Courchesne will sell them to you.

They cost $3 to $4.

Apiece.

Thomas Keller of The French Laundry and Per Se uses these peaches in jelly he makes to coat his foie gras.

Kim Severson of the New York Times wrote in her story in yesterday's Dining In section that Frog Hollow peaches are "... perfectly grown and sweet beyond reason. They are the 'Juicy Couture' of produce."

"Sweet beyond reason" sounds good enough to me.

If you can't make it to the market, which Severson describes as "... what many consider to be the best of the 3,700 farmers' markets in America," don't despair: Frog Hollow Farms will sell you their exquisite produce by mail.

You can order here.
