But seriously, Michigan's Paul Friday has made a science out of growing and breeding varieties of peaches for more than 50 years. He has sold more than 2 million Flamin' Fury® peach trees, according to his website.

Friday also brings fresh blueberries and raspberries, so look for his stylish produce stand at Lake Forest Farmer's Market every Saturday for the next 14 weeks through Sept. 24, along with 27 other vendors. The market is open 7 a.m. to noon.
