ombodhi,
If you're ever in San Jose, stop by the J&R Farm fruit stand
(you'll find them in the blue pages at the front of the phone book
listing farms). Though not strictly organic, his peaches and other
fruits are simply incredible! The guy has his own orchard on an
extra-large plot right in the middle of a suburban subdivision. He's
been fruit farming for 30(?) years, and he chooses now-rare varieties
that taste great but don't ship/store well. He gets up early in the
morning to pick fresh fruit daily for his fruit stand. Well worth a
visit.
