Georgia peaches Review

Georgia is the Peach State, and while it’s not actually the top peach producer anymore, the fruit is woven into the state’s identity — and a tree-ripe Georgia peach eaten in July, juice running down your wrist, is a genuinely different food from the hard supermarket kind picked green. The middle-Georgia peach belt around Fort Valley and Perry is the heart of it, where century-old orchards like Lane and Dickey run roadside stands and sell peach cobbler, peach ice cream, and peaches by the bushel. Peach season is short (roughly mid-May to August), which is exactly why you time a summer trip around it.
