There is a quaint farmers' market tucked alongside the road in the town of Amagansett on New York's Long Island. It is one of many little beach spots in the Hamptons to collect baskets of organic produce, freshly baked breads and scones, good coffee, and local cheese. I stopped in last week in search of a basket of organic blueberries for the little man in my life. While paying for my goodies, I couldn’t resist the organic peaches sitting by the cashier. I’m glad I did; they were absolutely delicious! If you haven’t had a chance to sink your teeth into a good peach this summer, let this smoothie inspire you.
