So the Regier’s white peaches last wk and this wk were incredible. Yellow peaches last wk were fantastic but only very good this wk. Partner was originally planning to make the ATK peach sonkerr this wk but thought the peaches were too tasty to bake. 
If you buy a “flat” (tray), you get a discount per pound.

So yes, stone fruit, melons, and tomatoes are incredible everywhere and a couple of stalls have corn (I want to give a quick shoutout to Burkhart Organic, which I haven’t seen mentioned yet here but has been a must-visit for me ever since Aprium season), but one of the most exciting things I saw today: mangos! Valencia Prides, as well as some Manilas and another that I bought but can’t remember the name of.

Saw those on Wednesday but couldn’t pull the trigger for the cost. Are they incredible?
I’m not familiar with japanese grapes but I think these are meant to be peeled? the skin is pretty thick and astringent and eating the grapes with the skin on felt like I was drinking a glass of merlot.
the flesh is on the softer side with an above average sweetness. luckily they’re easy to peel.

I grow these in my backyard. Peel them, unless you like the thick skin. Heavenly, right?

They also have the cotton candy but I don’t like those nearly as much as the moon drop
These were purchased at Whole Foods
Fresh barhi season has arrived
Stone fruit selection is definitely dwindling; most of the good ones now need to be eaten hard. Watermelons still awesome. Peppers are probably the star of the market overall right now.

a lot of citrus kumquats, mandarinquat, tangelos, oranges mostly. Apples are pretty much done unless the farmer has some in storage. persimmons are done or on their last legs
Garcia Organic Farm & Mud Creek are my favorite vendors. You still have winter Harries Berries. This is a great time of year for eating dates imo and there are still a couple vendors at the farmers market

“Cocktail grapefruits” (something I had previously only seen as “Frua” grapefruits at the Cal Poly Pomona farm store) are in a bunch of different stands. Super sweet, super seedy so great for juice.
Cara cara oranges and blood oranges have been really good recently. Dates are good. Saw more strawberries on Wednesday than I’ve seen in a couple months.
