Sweet Georgia peach growers expect outstanding season | The Produce News

This year’s crop of sweet Georgia peaches is expected to be abundant, with this a peak expected June through mid-August.

“It’s going to be a great year for Georgia Peaches,” said Will McGehee of the Georgia Peach Council. “We expect this year’s crop to surpass last year’s, and the quality of the peaches will be outstanding.”

To extend its consumer awareness and education efforts, the Georgia Peach Council will schedule a number of television cooking demonstrations throughout the campaign and has created a “Georgia in July” retail kit for use by strategic partners in target markets throughout the Southeast, Northeast and Midwest. The kit includes point-of-sale merchandising display bins highlighting freestone peaches, Georgia Peaches farm market bags, recipes and nutritional information.
