When I got home I went to Publix and bought almost the same fruits. No peaches as they didn't have any. It was all terrible, no taste, mealy, dry, worst fruit ever. I have tried all the different stores here, Publix, Aldi's, Fresh Market, Walmart, Winn Dixie and the same thing.
I can't seem to buy decent fruit in Florida. You would think it would be just the opposite, but I find the fruit here terrible. I can usually get decent grapes and apples and sometimes blueberries, but almost everything else is awful.
Why can't we get decent fruit here? What I bought in Virginia came from all over and it was all excellent. Here it was all awful. WHY?

Hi there,
I just read your post to my husband. His response was, "See, I'm not crazy". (Not that I ever accused him of that but that's just his opinion) LOL. Ever since we moved here he has been complaining about the fruit - especially citrus since Florida is allegedly a "Citrus Capital".
I am hoping someone will respond favorably to your post and tell us that they found a farm somewhere with excellent, organic, tasty fruit. I don't want to have to drive to Brooklyn or Virginia just to get decent fruit. LOL
