When I was a kid, Jersey peaches were the size of baseballs.

 

And picked within hours and sold at roadside stands / truck farms in sight of the orchards along country roads, where we used to car over the Nickel Bridge to around Palmyra NJ late July and August.

And the old original Breyer's plant was gearing up for the seasonal treat of Peach Ice Cream, premium priced at $1,29 a half gallon at the corner store, late 50s and 60s.
