Just watched a news story about the infamous Parker County peaches. They have been on a downturn the past few years with availability getting limited. Altho they produce a good amount of fruit, it's not enough to get major grocery chains in the DFW area interested in buying. All that stuff is corporate planned with larger companies out of California, Florida, ect.
About the only way you are going to find a Parker County peach these days is by driving to a Parker County fruitstand. Even then, you aren't guaranteed in buying a peach from Parker County. At last year's Peach Festival they had to ship in fruit from East Texas due to a shortage.
This year that isn't a problem. Mother Nature cooperated and there is a bumper crop. But you still have to drive to get one.
