An excellent point. This is the best year I can ever remember for excellent, sweet fruit. And it's the cheapest I ever remember it.

I paid $2 a pint for blueberries and $2.99 a pound for cherries this past weekend. I don't expect people will pay much more - maybe a little more but not much more. If American growers can't supply produce at those prices, I expect South American growers will.

In some N California areas the pom fruit quantities are way down due to the late rains and hail storms. So picking should be no problem. Early peach, cherries, plums or apricots harvest is way down this year. Late peach varieties seem okay. Pears and apples are going have a bumper crop.
