Price: $4 per pound
Nothing says summer to me like the first bite of a ripe peach, and the Kimball Fruit Farm’s are the best of the best: fragrant, fuzzy and so full of juice you have to bend over to take a bite. The fruits are picked when they’re a beautiful orange-red, a few days before they’re completely ripe. This means they don’t get bruised on the way to the market, but you’ll have to wait a day or two for peak flavor. A misguided few might claim that this wait disqualifies it as a snack – but those benighted souls will change their tune happily at the first bite into a soft, deliciously juicy peach the next day. Fortune may favor the bold, but peaches favor the patient. In this hot steamy weather, these are one of the most refreshing and satisfying snacks I know. (The picture shows 1 pound, 2 ounces of peaches for $4.50.)
At farmers markets in Central Square (Mondays), Davis Square (Wednesdays), Union Square (Saturdays) and Harvard Square (Sundays).
