It's peach season here in Georgia, which is home to forty varieties of the sweet, succulent fruit! I was overwhelmed with their aroma as I entered the grocery store a few days ago so of course I grabbed a bag to take home with me. Growing up, my Grandma used to refer to my sisters and I as her "Georgia Peaches" hence the inspiration for the name of this blog. Since her passing a few years ago, I can't look at a peach without thinking about her sweet smile or the way her eyes would light up when she laughed.
If you're near central Georgia, you can tour any of the three main orchards in Georgia, Pearson Farms, Dickey Farms, or Lane Southern Orchards. This is something I plan to do next summer when the kids are little older!
